Congratulations to Rafael Montero. Here's hoping your success proves to be more enduring than Alay Soler's.

[Guest themetfairy]

This says it all about the season, doesn't it....

But great work as always BG!

[G-Fafif]

Cespedes I've practically forgotten about.
Montero I had all but forgotten about.
Robles I'd like to forget about.
Nimmo struggles to be memorable.

Yup, August 2017. That's them.

Love the fresh cards, Grimm. Two 1977s seem apropos.

[Benjamin Grimm]

2017 is a lot like 1977 isn't it? Long-time players leaving, a very different team in September than in April, and many more losses than we had anticipated.

I certainly hope 2018 and 2019 turn out better than 1978 and 1979 did.

Congratulations to Rafael Montero.
Great job, kid.
You made me proud.
