Okay so this sim the Nine welcomes back Moses 'Prima Donna' Tallchief to the team.
After 14 starts last year Tallchief was 4-5 3.19. Then Meseck dumps him, with two years left on a seven year extension. But I guess if you wanna tank, or lose games, or start over, that's something Tim do. I mean Tallchief was by far the best pitcher on the Nine last year. He still had enough in him to contritube to Calgary's playoff chase and get a LMS championship ring. The Chief has had some injury problems in the past, he missed 18 months including all of 2020 and he had a tired arm this spring. Tallchief was on a seven year extension that was through this year (2023), and I imagine part of that was part of the salary the team is still paying. Now we are paying him again for this season. Wippee! He is still only 35 and I hope he can pitch better than Carlos Acevedo (2-14 7.89).
The Nine picked up an Irishman off the waiver wire. The squad has a new corner outfielder in Stephen Ireland. He is at the Mendoza line right no but he is .224 lifetime. YS 9.1 doesn't have a real power hitter (although Calico Watson has hit 7 in 26 games). I hope Ireland can hit a few out. Our outfield is totally redone. He will probably start in left field so that Leon Martinez can stay in right.
The team signed a new center fielder-a European, and that will be another TN. The team also signed an Australian and a Chinese guy as international amteurs. So yay for diversity.
