New season, new name and a new sheriff in town...
With a change in season comes a change in name for the Krikkit baseball club. Hactars never really caught on with the fans, so after a close vote, they choose War Robots to represent the team.
After auditioning 96 players for the new season, a few standouts made the cut. The starting will rotation will have a new sheriff, Sheriff Blake, that is. A one-hit wonder from 1928, Blake finally gets a chance to prove he can provide more hits.
The starting lineup is relatively unchanged. Jerry Mumphrey takes over in center and 3 new backups were added to the bench. Backup catcher Phil Masi was a 1947 All-Star. Shortstop Angel Berroa was terrific as a rookie in 2003. And, center fielder David DeJesus earns a snapshot from 2005.
On a sidenote, while the 16 packs didn't provide much help in terms of players, they will provide more points than they cost. The live pulls included 2 high value silvers, 3 golds, a diamond and a perfect Jacob deGrom. I've already sold 9938pp worth and still have 2 golds and the perfect to sell plus all the over priced bronzes and irons.
