well, that one way to start a ML career

my best offensive player is a 35yo catcher, so I went out and traded for a 18yo defensive catcher Jose Molina. promoted him directly from AA into the starting lineup, batting 9th.

in his first ML AB

and it didn't end there, he had a hell of a game

he has come down to earth, but for this season his job is really to play defense, and offense is gravy

3 homers in your first ML game ... not too shabby

Completely irrelevant, but I went to college with a guy called Alex Walters.

I dunno, imported 1899, expanded to 48 teams and switched to random debut.
