Maple heads into the Rookie Draft in last place in the Billy Martin division, 11 GB. Maple had some good momentum going up until the past 2 sims (3-10) to finish the month at 11-17. Our struggles continue to be with divisional games. San Francisco, South Carolina and Jersey are taking care of business versus our team. Our divisional record is: 6-13.
Our bullpen, defense and team speed have improved; however, our SP has been 1 step foward, 2 steps backwards since the 2014 season. Our team SP ERA is 11th (2nd last in the TML). Our organization had high hopes on some trades made to boost the rotation but, they just haven't paid off. Dave Blake sits on rehab in Triple AAA Astoria & Robert Osborne has been inconsistent at the ABL level. Our hope rests on last years International Free Agent sweepstakes win in landing: SPs Gabresilassie Cherono, Felipe Moreno, Robinson Pedercini and Hayden Capel. So it was no big surprise that in Round 1 of this years rookie draft, GM Goldberg took the mic and announced Ramu "Pepper" Pavi's name at the 6th overall selection.
The team has also announced it will take offers on OF Billy Greer & CL Ron Cutter.
