[jiminyhopkins]

Phoenix, AZ--

As we continue our coverage of the 2064 Champs, let's take a look at the roster that swept through the playoffs and never lost a game. The club carried 9 infielders on the postseason roster. Where did they come from?

C Tony Lopez: First Round Draft Pick
Tony was selected 20th overall in 2057 and came with a $3.7 million signing bonus. Played in three straight postseasons with Toledo.

1B G'Tuda Choppa: First Round Draft Pick
Turk was the 18th overall selection in 2060, signing for a cool 5 million dollars. A great DevLab that year helped build his HR power.

1B Israel Perez: Seventh Round Draft Pick
Perez was the 238th overall selection in the 2059 draft, and signed with no bonus. Won titles in both Daytona Beach and Toledo.

2B Tsu-bahr Rhu: Waiver Claim
Subaru was claimed off waivers from Montreal in 2062. Hard pressed at shortstop, he began to shine once moved to second base.

SS Daniel Kenner: Acquired via Trade
Kenner was brought over from Cobble Hill in return for Stefan Kolokotronis in August. Instantly transformed the Talons infield.

INF Mitch Wareham: Minor League Contract
Mitch signed a MiLC in March, and was one of the few Surprise Talons players called up to the big club.

INF Feliz Vasquez: Waiver Claim
Felix was another 2062 waiver claim, coming from Calgary. Aside from a week in Medicine Hat, has been on the ML roster ever since.

3B Alfredo Sloan: Third Round Draft Pick
Sloan was chosen 92nd overall in 2060 and signed for $610k. Won championships with Daytona Beach and Toledo, like Perez above.

3B Mas'ud bin Salah al Din: Signed as a Free Agent
al Din was one of the sight-unseen major league contracts that worked out for the Talons, signing in 2059 for 6 years/$47 million.

Go Talons!
