#1 Pick Quick Historical Look

I was curious how much success our #1 overall picks have had in the big leagues over the years. Mainly because a team like me is treading water, trying not to tank... focusing more on depth rather than tank for a pick (I don't blame some teams for doing that). 

So I wanted to see just how successful those #1 picks have been. 

Using StatsPlus data from 2013-Present Day

We have had 10 #1 overall picks make it to the big leagues. 2013-2021 made it. 

2022 1st overall did NOT sign: https://baseball-stars.com/reports/news/html/players/player_12052.html and then never made it to the big leagues

Shane Hutchinson, 2023's 1st overall pick was the last 1st overall pick to make it to the big leagues.

https://baseball-stars.com/reports/news/html/players/player_6384.html

So who was the most successful #1 overall pick since 2013? 

I present to you.... a Chart!

NSH AUG PR: Rock 'n' Roller Coaster of Emotions: The Short Tale of Edgardo Molina

New then-Madison GM Adam Brisske was ecstatic. Edgardo Molina, one of his top targets in the IFA period of 2027 had signed. For $2.1 million he was getting a premier power hitting teenage outfielder. OSA rated him at 4 stars, but the team scout had him at 4.5 stars. With a 20 POW and a 14 EYE, he was exactly the kind of bat the organization was missing.

Fast forward to before the draft and GMAB was looking around his organization. There stood out Edgardo sitting in the international complex. Those ratings, still fresh on his mind, just sitting there, the potential staring him in the face.

GMAB made the move. He put the 16 year old on the Rookie league team, and sat back waiting to brag about the ballsy move that paid off at the next GM meetings.

​

.264/.292/.370. only 4 home runs. Where did the power go? 3 walks to 48 strikeouts. He had broken him. He was doomed. The new scouting report was not kind. 1 star from OSA. At least the team scout still saw something. 3 stars. There's still hope. But his eye was gone, The contact was gone. All that remained was that prodigious power.

GMAB had already thrown in the towel, but Molina was the best prospect to start in RF in Rookie league again in 2028.

​

His 2nd pro season, at age 17, started off with a bang. 2 home runs in season opener. Half of last seasons total. 2 games later, another one. 2 games later...

​

5 games in he's banged 4 dongers and is batting .368. GMAB tells his fiance all about the hot start and she walks away without saying anything. She's right, he thinks to himself, This could just be a fluke, better to stay quiet. But while GMAB was swinging trades at the major league level, he kept getting daily alerts on his phone to see how Molina did each day. A donger nearly every other day. More walks. Still strikes out a lot, but who cares? He's raking. GMAB can live with the whiffs. 

As we enter September, GMAB could no longer hold it in. In a front office meeting discussing the team's future, there was only one name on his lips.

.366/.429/.745, 15 home runs, 38 RBIs. GMAB rubbed the stat sheet in Pedro's face.

"I was the only one that still believed in him!" said Adam (he didn't). "I knew all along he would be great!" (he really didn't)

Watching the young man's short career so far has been a wild ride so far, and no matter where it ends, one thing is for sure, GM Brisske is not ready to get off.

VIS SEPT PR - Team Balance

"Something something charts, I'll die if I don't make a comment about it" - Branda.

Now with that out of the way. I thought that some of us might appreciate visually seeing how the teams are balanced in the BSA based on pitcher/batter WAR.

Some teams have found success being heavy in either direction (SEA/NAS)

Others have found success from the balanced approach (VIS/IRV/BAF/NO/KAL) while others have not (STL/HOU/POC.. but barely POC they lean further form balance than this group).. though you wouldn't be able to tell by the chart because they are all producing similar WAR totals. 

What I've concluded is that to win in the BSA.. you need to be extremely good at something while being above average at the rest. 

Out of the highest WARing balanced teams (IRV/NO/KAL/BAF/STL/VIS/HOU) only Irvine looks like it has a shot at the division. New Orleans, Baffin and Vista have playoff hopes with Baffin's being the most sure thing while St. Louis, Houston and Kalamazoo will likely be missing out.

Niagara Falls Post Season PR

As expected, Year One was a shit show.  57-105 was good for 47 games behind Plymouth, who were abandoned by ownership to pursue other interests in Boston.  Speaking of being abandoned, Niagara Falls has seen something this week that they hadn't seen all year...  Vehicles in their parking lot.  However, it wasn't fans cars, it was moving trucks.  After their obligatory one year in Niagara Falls, the Frenzy are moving to a spot that GM Robert Perinka feels more at home...Philadelphia, PA.  Being rebranded as the Philadelphia Athletics, partly because Shibe Park was not being used except for a weekend farmer's market, and partly because Perinka managed a somewhat successful franchise in these parts roughly 100 league years ago.  The stadium will match the most recent Shibe Park dimensions and the ability to find fans that can get a fine authentic Philly Cheesesteak at a game tend to be more in abundance than the occasional honeymooner that wanted to catch a game in Niagara Falls, NY.

So far this offseason, the team won all but one arbitration case,  but more of that in the upcoming preview PR.  So far, we hired a top dollar scout Bill Myers to help with this from the ground up rebuild.  Pretty much nobody on the team last year will be back unless they accepted the $12M qualifying offer.  Hopefully none accepted.

KCK Off Season PR: Heart Attack: The Game

The Greatest Wildcard Round Ever 

Let’s meet our teams:

Vista Panthers (99-63) 2^nd in the CL West

After Dante Owens went down for the season, the Panthers were one of the most pitching heavy, and stingy teams in the league, ranking fourth in ERA (3.24) in the league, and second in the CL.  Vista’s BSA leading defense was a part of that too, and the Panthers only ended up allowing 586 runs over the season.   Twenty Five year old starter Dave “Pep” Jackson earned his first all-star nod in his third season, putting up 5.3 WAR while almost striking out 200 batters.  For as good as their starters were (again, second in the CL), their relievers were even better with a 2.97 ERA.  Vista was always ready for the long game, going 14-6 in extra-inning games, and 28-19 in one run games.    

But they were the wildcard team for a reason- Dante Owens led the team in HRs, despite playing less than 100 games.  They were 13^th in the CL in batting average, and 10^th in OPS.  Without Owens, Rivera led the team with a .265 average, and no one made it to 85 RBIs. 

Finally, Vista has worked incredibly hard to attain the number one farm system in the league.  Superstars in the making like Jake Reeves, Johnny Williams and Roberto Carrillo are either finding their way to the big league squad, or are a year or two away.  Vista sported a $84 million payroll for the 2028 season, leading to a +141 run differential.   

Kansas City Kings (97-65) 2^nd in the CL Central

Led by 2B Chris Chandler and DH Toshimichi Kono, the Kings were bit more balanced, scoring 919 runs- good for 2^nd in the CL, while allowing 661 runs, about middle of the pack in the CL.  With average pitching and above average hitting, the Kings performed rather, well, averagely in extra inning or one run games.  In fact, the Kings were below .500 in one run games, despite mid-season bullpen acquisitions.  Kansas City is a three true outcome stadium, with 435 HRs launched there this season, as well as over 2,400 strike outs and almost 1,000 walks. 

This obviously played a large role in the 200+ strike outs by SP Ron Young, who also dazzled with a 2.59 ERA.  The Kings were also suspiciously healthy this season in contrast to Vista, which really helped the $50 million payroll attain a +258 run differential. 

But they were the 2nd wildcard team for a reason- the Kings also play in the same division as Springfield. 

Thursday, October 5^th, 2028:

The Kings strike first in Vista, scoring 4 runs in the top of the first off All-Star Dave Jackson.  Jackson settled down afterwards in his postseason debut, keeping the Kings off the board for the next four innings.  Meanwhile, Vista chipped away at Kansas City starter Francisco Morales, tying the game in the 6^th.  In the eighth inning, Chris Chandler scored on a wild pitch by Antonio Lopez.  Manuel Parra and Nick Parks closed out the game, with Johnny Williams striking out looking to end it.

Kings win, 5-4

Saturday, October 7^th, 2028:

               Paco Canpos happened.  Canpos went 7 strong, allowing only 4 hits while striking out 4.  Antonio Lopez came in to finish off the game in a combined ‘5-hitter’.  The Panthers tied the series with a strong statement in Kansas City- we can pitch a shutout at any damn time. 

               Panthers win, 6-0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Monday, October 9^th, 2028 AND Tuesday, October 10^th, 2028:

               Back to Vista for the rubber game.  The Kings tossed out their star, Ron Young while Vista brought in fan favorite and guy with his eyes wayyyy too close together, Randy Mailman.   This was Mailman’s first start off the DL, a huge gamble by GM Calhoun.

Top of the 1^st:

Calhoun’s Mailman gambit seemed to go south immediately, as the first three pitches to Chris Chandler were ball, ball, home run.  Could this be the start of a blowout?!

No.

Mailman dealt with the mistake, learned and moved on.  He immediately settled down and started to deliver.  Taylor, Kono and Crawford were sat down in order.  Kansas City leads 1-0

Kansas City LOB running count: 0

Bottom of the 1^st:

Vista’s Catcher Gatan started the action off with a first pitch single, and second baseman Stephen Wilson worked a walk.  First baseman was hit by a pitch, filling the bases with zero outs.  Ron Young was rattled, and gave up a long flyball to Alfredo Rivera, and Gatan tagged up from third and scored, tying the game at 1-1.  Could this be the start of a blowout?!

No.

Young got Bob Cunningham to ground out, and then struck out Gui-xiu Choi looking. 

Vista LOB running count: 2

--

Top of the 2nd:

Clean inning by the Mailman, and Oliver Lugo strikes out for the first time. 

Kansas City LOB running count: 0

Lugo Strike Outs: 1

Bottom of the 2^nd:

Francisco Marino starts things off with a double, but is stranded by Gatan.

Vista LOB running count: 3

Vista guys in scoring position with < 2 outs: 1

 --

Top of the 3^rd:

Perfectly clean inning by the Mailman. 

Kansas City LOB running count: 0

Lugo Strike Outs: 1

Bottom of the 3^rd:

A leadoff triple for Stephen Wilson!  Fangraphs puts the expected runs this inning at 1.426, but strikeout artist Ron Young has different ideas, striking out Sangi and Rivera, and inducing Cunningham into a weak grounder to end the inning.

Vista LOB running count: 3

Vista guys in scoring position with < 2 outs: 2

--

Top of the 4^th:

Douggie Fresh starts the inning off with a well-earned walk.  Kono and Crawford both ground out to move Taylor to third.  Catcher De La Cruz singles Douggie home!  Kansas City regains the lead, 2-1.  Lugo ends the inning with a strike out.

Kansas City LOB running count: 1

Lugo Strike Outs: 2

Bottom of the 4^th:

Marino again gets on base with a one out single, then Johnny Williams strikes out while Marino is caught stealing second.  Stop trying to steal on De La Cruz you jerks.

Vista LOB running count: 3

Vista guys in scoring position with < 2 outs: 2

-- 

Top of the 5^th:

Another clean inning for Mailman, leaving the score at 2-1 Kansas City. 

Kansas City LOB running count: 1

Lugo Strike Outs: 2

Bottom of the 5^th:

Lopez and Catan ground out, but not without Gatan putting up a 9 pitch at bat.  Neat!  The frustration gets to Ron Young who gives up a solo home run to the next batter, Stephen Wilson.  Tie game, 2-2

Vista LOB running count: 3

Vista guys in scoring position with < 2 outs: 2

Note to the reader:

Dearest reader,

It’s me, the author, Colin Shelby.  We’ve had a great time so far together, going through 5 innings in detail.  Unfortunately, to those “in the know”, this game goes 17 fucking innings.  And spoiler alert: it ends 3-2.  So I can’t go through the next 12 innings in such detail.  But my friends, I watched this live.  Jordan was right there with me, as were some heroes on slack.  So let me just skip to some highlights:

Top of the 7^th:

Oliver Lugo strikes out.

Lugo Strike Outs: 3

Bottom of the 7^th:

Johnny Williams starts the inning off with a triple.  I’m sure you know where this is going- almost a 1.5 run expectancy, blah, blah.  The next hitter walks, then a strike out, fly out and fly out. 

Vista guys in scoring position with < 2 outs: 3

Top of the 12^th:

Lugo strikes out.

Lugo Strike Outs: 4

Top of the 11^th:

KCK gets Kono and Chandler to first and second base with 1 out (.9 RE).  Obviously, this is followed by two fly outs.

Top of the 12^th:

Lugo strikes out.

Lugo Strike Outs: 5

Top of the 14^th:

Lugo hits a double!  Third baseman Dave Parker flies out to end the inning.

Bottom of the 15^th:

Gatan gets to second with one out.  Strikeout, ground out.  Fun!

Vista guys in scoring position with < 2 outs: 4

Top of the 17^th:

Dave Parker starts the inning with a triple and 0 outs!  Well, we know how this goes… WAIT! It’s KCK's turn!  Eric Fuller (2028 batting average = .198) hits a deep enough foul ball so that Parker can tag up and score!  It stands, and Kansas City wins 3-2

Records set:

KCK: Oliver Lugo ties the CL Playoff extra inning game record for strikeouts with 5. 

KCK: Douglas Taylor ties the CL Playoff extra inning game record for strikeouts with 5. 

VIS: Cisco Gatan sets the Vista playoff extra inning game record for at bats with 8.

Fun Facts:

The game lasted 4:57 minutes. 

Player of the game: Randy Mailman

VIS: 14 LOB

VIS: Runners in scoring position with 2 outs: 6

VIS: Runners in scoring position with less than 2 outs: 4

VIS: Total Bases: 22 (7 were Stephen Wilson)

VIS: "Fuck"s uttered: 82

KCK: 8 LOB

KCK: Runners in scoring position with 2 outs: 4

KCK: Total Bases: 16 (7 were Chris Chandler)

KCK: Times making that  face: 4

This game broke a ton of rules, and I was very very fortunate to win.  Preventing a leadoff triple from scoring twice is bonkers.  This off-season will see Kono move on, possibly Vista's Canpos too, but I'm hoping we get a rematch.  Jordan somehow didn't punch his computer screen or threaten me online, for which I'm grateful.

Nevada Noise - End of Season PR Part 2 - Tank or No Tank?

As I look around the landscape of the BSA, I'm wondering am I rebuilding wrong or should I just stick to my original Plan B and stay the course?

It seems to me, just from being here now through two seasons that - you're either going for it... or you're tanking. 

The teams in the middle, seem to be there by accident or know their time is maybe just one season away. 

The Noise were a pretty bad baseball team this year. We lost 90 games, though we did turn a profit. But even by losing 90 games, the Noise will be drafting outside the Top 10 next year. In fact, I think I am picking #13 if my memory serves me correctly? And that's excluding any unsigned first rounders from the previous year. 

So we lost 90 games and were still better than 40% of the league? 

To put that into MLB perspective, in the last five years the most amount of teams losing more than 90 games was actually last year with 8. The previous four years were 7-6-6-7. 

So if you lost 90 games, you were better than about one quarter of the sport over the last five years.

That's a drastic difference. 

So am I wrong to build the way I am building, or am I stubborn for doing it? I'm not sure. 

I am starting to wonder if a lottery system is not needed here though. 

To reward blatant tanks to me, does damage to the competitive balance. But hey, maybe I'm wrong - since we have what 12 teams potentially tanking plus another handful who probably gained success because of a tank - I'm sure the majority doesn't stand with me on this concept. 

If I can trade Madrid, I will. I wouldn't be doing it to tank - I'd be doing it to get out of his contract (which is becoming more team friendly) but also get him a chance to win a ring. 

But maybe I should just DFA my entire big league roster and collect top picks for a few years instead? 

(PLY Offseason PR) Another Failed Season...

October 24th, 2028

As the Rocks' are on a flight out of Los Angeles on their way home after being swept by the So Cal Bruins, Sims is sipping on a glass of scotch trying to get the taste of being swept out of his mouth. He is not fond of any liquor really but tonight is a special night and defeat is hard to swallow. On the flight home he thinks about all the moves he did and did not make to make this season as good as the last. Should he have pushed harder to get a deal done for Mike Hill? Offense was a big reason for the teams failures in SoCal. Should he have not forced the manager to start Jose Martinez on short rest? Should he have sat his starters the last week of the season instead of chasing the #1 seed again? His defense star at 3B was lost for the year because of this. As he finishes he his glass he realizes that none of this really matters anymore. The season is over, So Cal was better and Plymouth needs to continue to move forward. 

October 25th, 2028

The next morning in Plymouth Sims stumbles into owner Doug Derry's office for the their end of the year meeting. Derry and Sims have never really seen eye to eye on anything. Derry is a shitty owner and Sims never bites his tongue when being criticized by Derry. Since becoming the GM of the Rocks every year Sims has to answer for every dollar he has ever spent. They go over everything from the scouting budget, staff, players all the way down to Sims own personal salary. This is the most miserable day of the year since in the world of professional sports some things work out and somethings don't. For some reason today Sims really has no patience for Derry's bullshit. When he ask about acquiring more pitching and no hitting at the deadline Sims loses it. He tells Derry how he really feels about everything that Doug Derry is involved in. Sims reminds him that he took the Plymouth franchise from a bottom feeder of the league to a champion. When it is all said done Sims does what he feels like his is only option left...he resigns as the Plymouth GM. 

As Sims walks to his car he gets a call from an unknown number from a 617 area code. Not really wanting to talk Sims reluctantly answers the phone. "Hello? This is Chase?" said the strange voice from the other side of line. "This is he." Sims responds. "This is Alexander Posey, the owner of the Boston Rebels. I hear you are looking for a job..."

Attached is a memo to the fans of Plymouth. 

To The People Of Plymouth

What a journey this has been. What started as a rookie, 36-year-old GM taking over a historically bad franchise in Cleveland to Joe Thomas selling the franchise to [Removed] in 2024 to bringing Plymouth home the championship it deserved. To Plymouth I owe everything. You are the ones who believe in my passion and you are the ones who continued to believe in the dream even after a rocky start. Without Plymouth I am still just a kid from Baton Rouge just looking for his first big break. Together we made Plymouth Great.

While the situation did not turn out how I wanted or plan it is what it is. I have never seen eye to eye with my boss and after having to answer why I allowed the team to have name brand drinks instead of RC Cola I realized that enough was enough. Over my years in Plymouth we brought nothing but progress and success to he who shall not be named. While we fought our way to the top he was out and about doing whatever he wanted while asking why he had to provide the team with meals before games. So I did what I felt had to be done.  I walked away from him leaving everything I built over the last six seasons.

The decision to leave was not an easy one for me but I had a plan. The plan was to take a season off to decide if being a GM was the right thing for me. As I was walking to my car after resigning as the GM of Plymouth I received a call from Alexander Posey, the owner of the Boston Rebels (how he knew I quit so quickly is beyond me.) He offered me an opportunity that I could not turn down. The Rebels -- with their passionate fans, dedicated ownership, tradition, and World Series drought -- represented the ultimate new challenge and the one team I could imagine working for after such a fulfilling Rocks experience. Also I could watch Baffin Island GM, Aaron Blank, try to chase what I created all the while building up another organization to fuck him again, hopefully at the same time but in a different hole. So I have accepted the job as the Boston Rebels GM.  I really do wish things did not have to end but this is the right move for my family and myself. Plymouth still has a very bright future and I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the support that you all have given me over the years. The future for me has to start somewhere, it has to start sometime so what better place than here and what better time than now.

Chase Sims

Nevada Season in Review PR

(PLY SEPT PR) Once Upon A Time

Everyone has heard the saying "It is not about how you start but about you finish." The Rocks have gone 40-31 since the All Star break after losing only 26 pre-all star break. Despite 100 wins and a NL East title for a second straight year there is serious concern in the Rocks' front office. 

The Rocks' pitching staff is 29 points higher compared to the 2028 season despite a major haul of the back of the bullpen and the young rotation heading into their prime years. Rocks babip is 16 points higher in 2028 but yet the batting average is 10 points lower. To top it all off the Rocks will enter the playoffs with their second best hitter on the DL in what is already a joke of an offense. 

After several hours spent trying to figure out what is the reason for this downward trend the front office has come on this conclusion...

....

....

....

Yeah we don't have clue what went wrong. For the most part the team is in tact but the losing continues. 

The defense is better in 2028 but yet we can not stop runners from crossing home plate. So with the offense down two starters and the pitchers throwing like they play for SF the Rocks' fan do not have a whole lot to look forward to this postseason. Especially when the impending match up with the People's Champ over in Nassau. 

So I have to ask...is it 2029 yet? 

Houston PR: Season in Review and Target 2031

Winning and Losing

Houston's primary goal for the 2028 season was to be around a .500 team. We got close with a 79-83 record. It was a rough month of June (7-20) that did in the entire season. It was the one month that GM Michael Carroll turned over the team to the rest of the management staff. "That's the last time I do that", said the Houston GM.

The Marshals actually finished the season well:

July: 16-9

Aug: 17-11

Sept: 17-11

Oct: 0-1

That's a record of 50-32 (.609) in the back half of the season.

The Financials

Strapped with expensive older players that nobody in their right mind would trade for, the Marshals suffered a $52M loss in 2028. The owner was sure to pay back GM Carroll for his efforts, by dropping his 2029 budget by $30M..."That'll help us get back on track", said Carroll sarcastically. 

Fortunately, Carroll will be moving about $53M off of the payroll via Team Options and Arbitration releases this off-season. "We'll be promoting a lot of our current AAA players to help us get through the 2029 season, and we have a lot of talent at the lower minor league levels. A little more patience is in order, but we're getting close."

Target 2031

The GM is predicting a $30M surplus by the end of the 2030 season, and a very high Minor League system. "Our lower Minors are very deep in my opinion, and it'll probably be 2031 by the time all of those kids are ready. Until then, we'll be fielding what will amount to, a 4A team in the BSA.". That's the Marshal's prediction...that 2031 will be the year that they become a threat once again at the top of the standing.

Thank You,

Michael Carroll

(VIS SEPT PR) The Drought Is Over 2

The Panthers have finally gotten themselves out of their second and longest drought in team history, and best believe Vista is lit af rn (translates to 'excited' )

Homegrown players like Dave Jackson, Bob Cunningham, Justin Burgess have played a huge role in getting the Panthers to the promised land.

But even more surprising is the talent on the DL. 

Dante Owens, Randy Mailman, Juan Cortes, Mark Wells and rookie Andrew Cane, all important to the Panthers, have spent a lot of time on the DL.

Even more surprising is rap talent of the players on Vista's DL.

Excited about the prospect of getting their team to the playoffs, Owens, Mailman and Caine did what most 20 somethings would do with a lot of free time, a lot of money and nothing better to do would do - make a mixtape.

Little known to the rest of the league, Dante Owens likes to make beats in his free time using FL studio. 

In addition to being a culinary master, Mailman is also a solid rapper - a la Action Bronson. 

Rookie Andrew Caine grew up in the small town of Townsend, Montana. A town with a population of 1,978 of which 0.2% are black. That means, Andrew Caine's family were the only black people in his entire town. His mom, his dad and himself. There is also a 0.9 black guy somewhere. Anyways, Andrew really loves rap because he couldn't' relate to anybody in Townsend. So he was always on the internet meeting people from around the world. He'd actually be trying to be a rapper if he wasn't so damn good at throwing a baseball. 

Lil’ Panthers Present - The Drought is Over 2 (Mixtape review)

1.Tha Panthers 3 (Intro)

• 
  

2.Did It Before (ft. John Doby, Shizue Chouda and Cipriano Montanez)

• On this smooth banger, Panther Legends Doby, Chouda and Montanez reminds the league that they did it before. 5 times in 6 seasons. Montanez asks, "Shit I wonder if they know that we did it before" ? Well, we do now Cippy, we do now.

3.Kush

• A few BSA teams play in a state where marijuana is legal (Pikes, Panthers, Noise, Gang Green, Bruins, Bandits, Deplorables) but no GM has been as outspoken about his love for the plant than the Panthers GM. The players appreciate Calhoun's acceptance and created this anthem to explain why the team plays so much better than they probably should.
• Dante Owens is probably the biggest pot head of the entire team and let's everyone know in this songs hook: "Yeah, and we smoke that kush / Yeah, that kush / Yeah, and we ball like swoosh / Yeah, like swoosh"
• Catchy Hook Dante, but this isn't basketball.

4.Something You Forgot

• A sad Mailman, Cane and Owens wonder if their team mates have forgotten them while they sit on the DL on this heartfelt track  "But I hope you haven't forgot about me / Up in the livin' room watchin' Sports Center"

6.World Of Fantasy (ft. Cisco Gatan)

• Mailman dominates this track. Having joined the BSA at 17 after running away from home at 16. He's proud he's been able to fend for his own. "Left home at 16, I ain't never been back. When it come to being broke they say I never been flat"

7.Help (ft. Tim Fulgham)

• Panthers coach calls for help on a track recorded during the midseason. With all his players on the DL he felt he had no hope. The Panthers traded for a couple of relievers and a 2B but most of the help ended up coming from within. 

8.I'm A Beast

• Dante Owens let's everyone know that while he is on the DL, he still thinks he's one of the best "No, never entertain the suckers with the hating bidness/I'm on a yacht playing table tennis / Expensive linen, women sinnin"

9.Pussy MVP

• And if you didn't feel Dante is the BSA MVP, he reminds us that he should definitely be the Pussy MVP on the mixtapes final track.

Go Panthers.

Fuck the Pikes.

Good luck to all in the playoffs except Seattle and Especially Nassau.
