I enlisted the help of some friends to name the team. I received several naming ideas and whittled them down to 18 players to fill the roster. It is my pleasure to prsent the 2016 Sizzlin Sirloins.
Batters
Name | Position | Notes |
---|---|---|
Jack Longballo | 1B | Part 1 of the Longballo Bros. Jack no where near the athlete of his bro Hammer but he can mash |
Green Gras | 2B | Wirey second basement called up from the Triple A team in Cheboygan. Usually nervous and squirrely |
Benny Rodriguez | SS | Meteoric rise from the Sandlot to the Sizzling Sirloins Starting Short Stop. |
Jake Pounders | 3B | Competes with Hammer to see who can crush the ball the farthest. Hates Green M&Ms |
Casey Royal | LF | All American kid from Clarksville, TN. Country Strong can go deep effortlessly |
Willy Mays Hayes | CF | "Don't your guys go anywhere, I plan to put on a hitting display". |
Hammer Longballo | RF | Part 2 of the Longballo Bros. Hammer is a 5 Tool player and with the Mojo to back it up. |
Glovey McGloveface | C | Baseball is Glovey's second career. He runs a high power hedge fund in NYC. Sometimes he wears one of this Bluetooth ear pieces closing deals during the game. |
Joltn Joe Garageiola | Bench | OK Power, great contact. Ol Joltn Joe can give you a hit when you need it. Has some peculiar pregrame rituals. |
Skweez Bundt | Bench | Short Pop Fly power, can barely make contact but can field decently with a decent arm. No surprises what Skweez is up to when he is called in to hit. |
Jacque Strap | Bench | With a name like his you at least need confidence. 99 Mojo, dude is energetic to say the least. Locker next to Hammer, which Hammer complains about often. |
Sabre Metrics | Bench | Speed and Contact to deliver timely hits when needed. Calculates his BABIP in real time after each AB. |
Pitchers
Name | Position | Notes |
---|---|---|
Harry Butts | SP | The Ace. I guess its sorta my fault when I said Middle School Humor was acceptable, but hey should be a fun season talking about Harry Butts Pitching Dominance. |
Hole Camels | SP | Distance cousin is a starter for the Phillies. Junk ball pitcher with great accuracy. Ground ball machine. |
Blaze N. Kays | SP | Convinced he can throw it past anyone. Off-speed stuff is sub par so he relys too much on the heat. |
Ed Harris | RP | Old Ed Harris limps out of the bullpen when skip needs him. |
Ross N. Bagg | RP | No Heat, No Junk, Not much accuracy. Ross N. Bagg pretty much just sits in the bullpen working on closing hedge fund deals with Glovey McGloveface |
Ricky Vaughn | CP | Wild thing Vaughn, straight from his playing days in the California Penal League. How did you get there, "Stole a car" |

So there we have the opening day line ups. I will start the season with the EGO set at 40. The EGO is a measure of how difficult the game is. I played a pre-season game with an EGO set to 50 and was beat 9-4. Hopefully the 40 EGO will make the games nail-bitingly close. I will adjust the EGO as needed.
