1B/DH Albert Ganoa
.305 BA / 42 HR's / 128 RBI's / 5.5 WAR
Amidst the disaster of a Season that's seen several of the Twin Cities' long term veterans flame out after being signed to long term extension, it appears the smartest move was quietly extending Albert Goana to 5 years/$5.25 Million per year.
Albert is having a by far his best season as a BBA player, with only his rookie season coming close. Ganoa is fixing to set River Monster Team Records in the following categories..
SLUGGING % - Current .598 (Previous - Ray Cooper .559 2033)
OPS - Current 1.005 (Previous Ray Cooper .953 2033)
HR's - Current 42 (Previous Ray Cooper 36 2033)
RBI's - Current 122 (Previous Ray Cooper 128 2033)... This one is going to be close
Hit By Pitch - Current 24 (Previous Albert Ganoa 19 2037)... Does he bat flip a little too much?
Ganoa's Contract is guaranteed only through the end of next season, at which time Albert will have to make decision on his option. It's gotta to be certain that if he has another season in 2039 like this year, Albert's likely gone for Free Agency.
