A GM with some sticktoitiveness could have the Badgers turned around in short order
Kalamazoo is a team with tons of potential, and yet things have been going south for them since the conclusion of their gangbusters inaugural season campaign in 2007, where they went 100-62. Eight fewer wins in 2008; three fewer wins in 2009; nine fewer wins in 2010, dipping below .500 for the first time; and now a 75-87 record as we wrap up the 2011 season.
Everything has been going downhill for the Badgers, which is frankly shocking when you look at the wealth of talent they possess. 1B
John Collins is one of the best sluggers in the league.
Brett Hurst would be even more valuable if his glove played at 2B. Not that Kalamazoo needs Hurst at second; they've got stud youngster
Joel Swedlove manning that position. He forms a dynamic double play combo with SS
Raúl García. CF
Álex Martínez gives the Badgers an up-the-middle offense to boast about.
Er Hang gives them an ace starting pitcher (and a really cool name).
With all that going for them, why do the Badgers continue to play second fiddle to
Crystal Lake? Good question. Maybe they just haven't found the right man to lead this collection of talent. Which is where
you come in.
It's time for the slow degenerative process to stop. The regular season has just ended, and while Kalamazoo won't be dancing in the playoffs, they can and should be using this time to prepare for a run in 2012. Join now and you'll have the time you need to make the big decisions. Who should be offered arbitration? Which pending free agents should be allowed to walk? Is there a trade out there that will put the team over the top?
