Monterrey is on the move...to Mount Pleasant!

New to 2016, the Mount Pleasant Trainwrecks! Named after the best beer to come from cozy Mount Pleasant, the Trainwrecks are hop-ing to have a strong draft in their first year. Ideally, if we're winning we'll be wrecking the competition but if the team completely sucks, well you can just saying they're living up to their name so it's a win-win.

Also considered were the Troy Beavers, named after the Minor League team that never was. The Beavers would have looked to bring a new brand of exciting baseball and puns such as "Dam it!" and "he really muff-ed that grounder." Not to mention playing the classic Naked Gun scene after each home run.

First move as the Trainwrecks is making some cuts, here's my protection list:

Protected
  • Brad Boxberger
  • Brett Cecil
  • David Price
  • Kevin Jepsen
  • Koji Uehara
  • RA Dickey
  • Trevor May
  • Zach Putnam
  • Stephen Vogt
  • Albert Pujols
  • Brett Lawrie
  • Mike Trout
  • Rajai Davis
  • Rougned Odor
  • Carlos Sanchez
  • Danny Santana
Cut
  • Bud Norris
  • Joba Chamberlain
  • Chris Carter
  • David Lough
  • Robinson Chirinos
  • Lonnie Chisenhall

No Card
  • Jarred Cosart
  • Max Scherzer
  • Derek Norris
  • Yunel Escobar
Yu Darvish: Nick Markakis

See you all at the draft! (Kinda!)

  1. Good thing you are moving Monterrey out of Mexico before Trump builds his wall!

  2. Nice Beaver! Man, I can't believe you didn't go with the Troy "Big Beavers". It's good to know that there is another small market team out there to compete for leagues low attendance with Maine now.

  3. Is Amy Schumer your team mascot/cheerleader? She could have had that job whether you chose Train Wrecks OR Beavers, right?

  4. LOL! Too funny. I actually watched "Trainwreck" on a flight, and I was ready to walk out of the theatre until I realized it was a long way down. LeBron James was 100 times funnier than Amy Schumer. I think I will find some Trainwreck in Mount Pleasant and bring it to the draft to get some expert opinions on it.
