All this poor franchise needs is some stability at the top!
The nomadic franchise of the PEBA returns to the spotlight. Speaking earlier about the Badgers, I suggested that
a GM with some sticktoitiveness could have the Badgers turned around in short order. Finding that GM for the Badgers has been the trick. We'd like to see if we can nail it this time around.
Almost everything else that was said about the Badgers last time still applies. 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.
Things have 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 (and he's
raking to start 2012). They've got stud youngster
Joel Swedlove manning second base. He forms a dynamic double play combo with SS
Raúl García (who, unfortunately, is out for the next three months with a broken hand). 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. We're just one month into the 2012 season, and K-Zoo has kept their head above water with a 17-15 mark. This is a club with a legitimate chance to dance into the playoffs. They're lacking one key final ingredient: Strong leadership at the top.
That's where you come in. Join now and you'll have the time you need to make the big decisions. Draft Day is just two and a half weeks away. Which players from our
feeder leagues do you want to build around? Is there a trade out there that will put the team over the top?
