2102 league discussion

[bobcat1018]

Welcome back to another season in BD, i see the league is pretty dead and only decided to come back because I was curious to see how some of my former players were aging out. A few of the last draft picks I made will be regulars on the team the next few seasons with some of those wily old guys who just dont want to hang up the cleets just yet.

Lets start with those vets, I cant believe what i discoved when I first checked in.

BD has a very long history and went through some evolutions well before I got there so im happy to see some guys at the top of the charts finally in team history. Pitching was particularly strong back in the day so I still havent challanged for top ranks there but i've had some very strong offensive players who now rank at the top of the charts.

Home Runs

#	Name	HR	Chicks arent the only one who love the long ball
1	Clark Johnson	670	Still adding to his total at age 35 he was a #7 pick at 17YO 8X AS, 11X GG sure fire HOFer
2	James Miranda	669
3	Quincy MacLeod	621	late start to career robbed him of being the HR king for a bit but still a great career
4	Ryan Caldwell	582
4	Fausto Carmona	582	Acquired via trade, 18th pick by WS, helped us to 3 WS
6	Robert Kuhn	557	not sure how I got him in FA, maybe a noob owner after Luke left? 11th overall pick
7	Steven Connor	526	Blue collar player, #24 pick never recieved an award part of 3 championships
8	James Oswalt	517	#27 pick CN/SL guys that some dont like but hammered out 500+ HRs while playing good defense in OF
9	Shawn Rice	512	already a HR in each of his first 2 games so he'll likely pass Oswalt before the AS break
10	Ruben Meikle	426	Getting a 6.5+ RNG from your 2B is nice, having him hit 30+ HRs at the bottom is awesome
