View Hardball Dynasty Profile


LAST SEASON:86-76

OUT: Bey Robinson , Arthur Howard , Norberto Ramirez , Peter Hodges

IN: Samuel Tomlinson , Ariel Gonzalez , Ross Bush , Roy Kramer , Ernie Jenkins , Len Carver , Patrick Miller

PREVIEW: Pbsilver was very happy when he won his 3rd division title last year. But the jubilation was short lived after the Pandemonium lost in the DCS to the 2 time champion Barking Moonbats. Pbsilver has a great core of winners.So he went into the offseason looking to add just a few players.He released Robinson and traded away Howard ,Ramirez and Hodges. Then he signed free agents Tomlinson ,Gonzalez ,Bush and promoted Kramer. Finally Pbsilver traded for Jenkins , Carver and Miller. Looks like Portland unloaded a couple of big contracts in order to resign several players. The bats of Howard and Ramirez will be missed. But this team is still very good. Prediction:88-74

IN: Jamie Delahanty , Pedro Mercedes , Ed Comer , Miguel Piedra

PREVIEW: Slowly aaronwayne has brought this team along. And last season they showed some signs of life. Could this be the year the Prairie Dogs venture out of their hole? Fargo first let Oliver and May go to free agency. Fargo then traded away Jimenez ,Carver ,Meares and waived Lopez. Aaron signed free agents Delahanty , Mercedes and promoted Comer. Finally he traded for Piedra. Fargo has increased their payroll 20 million since last season. It looks like the Prairie Dogs are going for it!! Prediction:84-78

PREVIEW: Kumbia and his Aztecas Finished 3rd in the division. A long way from his days as the division Champ. This year Kumbia has lowered his players salary cap by 17 million. First Kumbia let Duran ,Ortega ,Rando ,Uribe ,Sefcik and Rowan go to the free agent market. Then he released Harris, refusing to pay his Arbitration demands. Kumbia traded away Ramirez ,Torres ,Hunter and Lo .Dumping several big contracts. With a ton of holes to plug ,Kumbia signed free agents Cummings ,Melhuse and Ryan. Then he picked up Feliz ,Nady and Wang in the R-5 draft. Finally he traded for Dransfeldt ,Schilling and Thomson. With the offseason moves it looks like a classic Rebuild year. By shedding salary and picking up Bargain and R-5 players. The Aztecs still have 11 million in cap space. Look for Kumbia to build his farm system.Prediction:67-95

He got the part of Bashful in the Off Broadway production of Snow White and the Seven Naughty Dwarfs.Hey, Midget Porn is in these days. So district5 picked up this team for a song and a dance.
