2062-021: Talons Low Effort Bullshit Stadium Fees Post #15: Rich Dares

Rich Dares is a 6'2" 200lb "shortstop" from Winnepeg, Manitoba. He was born on June 30th, 2028. He was acquired by the Talons via free agency, signing a 4 year, $37 million contract before the 2062 season. Dares had a pretty nondescript career before his time in Portland, where he became a star. He parlayed that performance into a big payday, and the Talons took the bait. Unfortunately, Dares is back to his old negative WAR self, despite being healthy for almost the entire season.

Talons Scouting Director Schytt E. Pyck put it like this: "Welp, guess we got bamboozled on this one. Maybe we can slide him over to second base and get some value from him. But that would involve getting another shortstop, and we literally have no one better than Dares' 8 rating. SO I guess we're stuck with him. What a joke. Where the fuck are all the good shortstops??"

GO talons.

Middle infielders have to be developed. They’re never available any other way.

It's definitely hard to find a deal for a good middle infielder unless you find a team that's running a fire sale. And the few who are available in FA tend to get pricey.

Regardless, I'm with Sean here. :)

This really screams for a good player spotlight. Especially now that there's two teams who hate him.

Looks like I've been going about TN all wrong. Low effort bullshit stadium fees posts are the way of the future! I am going to be PPT rich in 2063

Sean has a long spy/counter spy with the anti-game. I miss the drive home video casts.
