SIDEARM REVIEW: #27 SPRINGFIELD FLOOZIES

                                           SPRINGFIELD FLOOZIES:
                                           WORST FRANCHISE NAME ??


FRONT OFFICE 

Scott Ryan uses the worst stadium in the MLB ( Tampa Bay) to house the team with the worse name in the league ( what the hell is a Floozie ) but I think it is simply part of a master plan Ryan has hatched to keep his opponents from taking his team seriously. 

Whatever magic version of the latest algorithm Ryan uses, it has a history of good results. 10 years in the league, 1 World Series ring, two World Series appearances and 3 other playoffs would make any owner proud.

ANALYSIS

Kopech and Gray are potential aces and Bubic could grow into a 3/4 starter.  Wells is a wildcard.  E. Rod is on the decline.  Barria is a great swingman and the bullpen can shutdown any lineup with A. Diaz (476) and Minter (556).  I am sure Ryan will know how to mix and match Falter (671L) and Abreu (635L) while Velzasquez and Minor soak up innings.

Ozuna, Escobar, Franco and Castellanos are place holders as Ryan brings in a future foundation of Gorman, Pache and McCarthy.  The great news is Gunner Henderson is on the way and should be the superstar Ryan seems to develop frequently enough to enter the tournament of randomness. As for now, Henderson had limited PA in MLB 22 and that is not enough to keep the Floozies from a 5th place finish in the AL West
