Mackian Baseball Outlook After January One Twenty
The Mackian roster lists Bodie Kopp and Jamie son as three outfielders, Myers Schauer and Green as three pitchers, Thomas and Helder Dugan as catchers. They need three or four pitchers, one or two more catchers, a second and third baseman, a first baseman, plus several new outfielders to be competitive. The Athletics are described as wrecked and far from a major league standard, with the task of rebuilding seen as gigantic and unlikely to yield more than a weak eighth place.
