Despite a trip to the 2053 Cartwright Cup, the Nashville Bluebirds had a disappointing season. On paper, the team was projected to win over 100 games, however they finished with a 90-72 record and sneaking into the playoffs as a playoff team. Many of the team's stars suffered down seasons, so it's surprising to see the team still won 90 games. As the team grows older, let's take a look at the new wave of Bluebirds in the making.
| Banjo's Rank | Position | Player | BBA Rank | ETA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3B | Jorge Canó | 7 | 2056 |
| 2 | RHP | Jim Fleming | 80 | 2054 |
| 3 | CF | Crissy Tingle | 50 | 2055 |
| 4 | SS | Brooks Eliot | 14 | 2054 |
| 5 | LF | Eduardo Morales | 126 | 2054 |
| 6 | RHP | Callum Martin | 13 | 2054 |
| 7 | LF | Ra'id Usamah | 65 | 2056 |
| 8 | 2B | Colby Triska | 68 | 2055 |
| 9 | LHP | Art Cherry | 63 | 2054 |
| 10 | CF | Alfonso Gonzáles | NR | 2056 |
All of these players are expected to contribute at the BBA level at some point in the near future. Surely, this list is likely to change over time and several youngsters may have been snubbed, but these are the ten candidates most likely to contribute in the future. Hopefully we see many of these faces with the Bluebirds, but surely some will fall victim to a trades to help improve the team. Either way, they are all valued commodities for the organization and will help lead the way to more titles.
