Super Mega Baseball Season 1

Thought it would be fun to start a league on Super Mega Baseball and follow them like a beat reporter/sports reporting for a few weeks this summer. I will track the team's games and progress. I hope to have video highlights of games, player interviews, etc

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


NamePositionNotes
Jack Longballo1BPart 1 of the Longballo Bros. Jack no where near the athlete of his bro Hammer but he can mash
Green Gras2BWirey second basement called up from the Triple A team in Cheboygan. Usually nervous and squirrely
Benny RodriguezSSMeteoric rise from the Sandlot to the Sizzling Sirloins Starting Short Stop.
Jake Pounders3BCompetes with Hammer to see who can crush the ball the farthest. Hates Green M&Ms
Casey RoyalLFAll American kid from Clarksville, TN. Country Strong can go deep effortlessly
Willy Mays HayesCF"Don't your guys go anywhere, I plan to put on a hitting display".
Hammer LongballoRFPart 2 of the Longballo Bros. Hammer is a 5 Tool player and with the Mojo to back it up.
Glovey McGlovefaceCBaseball 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 GarageiolaBenchOK Power, great contact. Ol Joltn Joe can give you a hit when you need it. Has some peculiar pregrame rituals.
Skweez BundtBenchShort 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 StrapBenchWith 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 MetricsBenchSpeed and Contact to deliver timely hits when needed. Calculates his BABIP in real time after each AB.

Pitchers


NamePositionNotes
Harry ButtsSPThe 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 CamelsSPDistance cousin is a starter for the Phillies. Junk ball pitcher with great accuracy. Ground ball machine.
Blaze N. KaysSPConvinced he can throw it past anyone. Off-speed stuff is sub par so he relys too much on the heat.
Ed HarrisRPOld Ed Harris limps out of the bullpen when skip needs him.
Ross N. BaggRPNo 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 VaughnCPWild 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.
