2062.8 Where Did You Come From?

Where Did You Come From?

Where did you go.....

Oh look, an easy team news. Maybe we'll crack double digits this year. I decided to do the whole 40 man roster because most/all of these guys will be pulling on the rope at some point. I also added who drafted them and with what pick, cause I thought that's interesting too.

LF	Juan Serna	25	Draft Pick	May 20th , 2058	Twin Cities	2	67
2B	Octavio Sanchez	21	Draft Pick	May 13th , 2057	Twin Cities	4	132
SP	Jerry Stone	31	Draft Pick	May 19th , 2052	Twin Cities	1	4
1B	Felix Alvarez	25	Draft Pick	May 13th , 2057	Twin Cities	8	260
SP	Tokugawa Yamashita	36	Minor FA signing	Mar. 18th , 2059	Twin Cities	1	8

13 of our 39 players were drafted by us. Toku Yamashita probably shouldn't be on this list because "technically" we traded him away and signed him back later. But he has spent the bulk of his career here, so I feel he should be here. We have 6 former first round picks, one second, three third and two fourth. Felix Alvarez is the lone "late rounder". He has yet to make his BBA Debut though.

Erik Brooks is the longest tenured River Monster. Being with the team since he was drafted in 2047. Both he and Yamashita were here before I took over in October of 2049.

Free Agent

POS	Name	Age	TXN	TXNDT	DrTm	Round	OA Pick
1B	Parker Clontz	26	Free Agent signing	Jan. 1st , 2062	Brooklyn	2S	70
RF	George McCoy	29	Free Agent signing	Jan. 1st , 2062	Omaha	1	27
SP	Antonio Ramirez	36	Free Agent signing	Jan. 16th , 2060	-	0	0
SP	Will Ritter	38	Minor FA signing	May 20th , 2056	Bikini	5	153
DH	Don Moore	32	Minor FA signing	Mar. 18th , 2062	-	0	0
SP	Tokugawa Yamashita	36	Minor FA signing	Mar. 18th , 2059	Twin Cities	1	8

This is somewhat interesting. A lot of low risk players. 3 of the 6 were signed prior to this season. I'm not opposed to big long expensive contracts. I think it's more a product of our teams timeline.

Trade

POS	Name	Age	TXN	TXNDT	DrTm	Round	OA Pick
RP	Jorge Duran	21	Trade	Aug. 15th , 2057	Yellow Springs	10	306
CF	Victor Frazier	27	Trade	May 30th , 2061	Charlotte	3	84

RP	Antonio Garcia	24	Trade	May 30th , 2061	Sacramento	4	133
CF	Hector Garcia	25	Trade	May 30th , 2061	Long Beach	6	171

2B	Miller Shed	27	Trade	May 15th , 2062	Valencia	1	15
3B	Jose Perez	26	Trade	May 30th , 2061	San Fernando	1	10
CF	Joel Woodroffe	35	Trade	Aug. 23rd , 2060	Sacramento	7	251

11 players acquired via trade. 6 of which came from our "fire sale" last season. Several more will work their way onto this list shortly. Peter Fuller is the second longest tenured River Monster. Though he is nearing the end of his run.

Waivers

POS	Name	Age	TXN	TXNDT	DrTm	Round	OA Pick
SS	Eduardo Galvan	23	Claimed on Waivers	Jan. 2nd , 2062	Austin	2	42
RP	Jorge Quinones	35	Claimed on Waivers	Aug. 23rd , 2061	-	0	0
C	Jose Avila	30	Claimed on Waivers	Jul. 12th , 2061	Mexico City	8	264

Two of our bullpen arms came from waivers. This is status quo. Always a good way to find some cheap useful arms.

Rule 5

POS	Name	Age	TXN	TXNDT	DrTm	Round	OA Pick
2B	Pat Currie	24	Rule 5 Draft pick	Dec. 16th , 2060	Las Vegas	7	227
C	Carlos Marcillas	26	Rule 5 Draft pick	Dec. 16th , 2060	Cape Fear	5	149
RP	Angelo Rodriguez	30	Rule 5 Draft pick	Dec. 16th , 2060	Des Moines	7	224
C	Eduardo Medine	24	Rule 5 Draft pick	Dec. 16th , 2059	Nashville	4	135
SS	Juan Martinez	27	Rule 5 Draft pick	Dec. 16th , 2059	Yellow Springs	3	78
RP	Ernesto Valadez	25	Rule 5 Draft pick	Dec. 16th , 2061	Valencia	14	449
RF	Darren Wearne	27	Rule 5 Draft pick	Dec. 16th , 2059	New Orleans	6	188

I was really proud of the fact that we have 7 Rule 5 picks on our 40 man. As I started to fact check to see if that was most in BBA, I saw Brooklyn has 12. Damn. Oh well. Wearne and Marcillas are solid finds. The rest are maybe more flawed than good. As you can tell I target defensive depth and you guessed it, more cheap relief pitching.

Nothing wrong with an "easy TN". There was some effort involved here, anyways.
