Offseason Recap

1956 Hurler of the Year Charlie Munford becomes the 25th member of the Confederate Baseball Association Hall of Fame. A five-time All-Star, Munford whiffed 2965 batters while collecting a record of 190-116 with a 3.24 ERA and three championship rings in seventeen seasons with Jacksonville, Nashville and San Antonio.
(17 seasons, 190-116, 3.24, 2965 Ks, 1x HoY, 5x All-Star, 3x champ)

Three solid "Second Look" candidates for next year:

Eight-time All-Star LF Paul Speck retires at age 40 after eighteen seasons with Tampa, Dallas and Jacksonville. Speck hit .284 in his career with 274 homers, 1283 walks, 493 steals and a Slick Fielder award in 1968.
[Yes. The walks and swipes make up for the low hit total.]

Six-time All-Star SP Barney Maloy calls it quits at age 40 after striking out 3604 batters in his nineteen years with New Orleans, Atlanta, Houston and Norfolk. Maloy ended up with a 201-178 record and a 3.89 ERA to go with a championship ring from the Pelicans in 1951.
[A relucant 'Yes', basically because of the whiffs.]

Two-time MVP and 1959 Confederate Series MVP 1B Roy Seal hangs up his spikes at age 41. A nine-time All-Star with 3 Slick Fielders and 3 championships, Seal hit .290 with 288 homers, 1524 RBIs, 408 doubles and 350 steals in his nineteen-year career, fourteen with New Orleans.
[Yes. Third-best career RBI total.]

Three-time Manager of the Year Andrew Brasfield retires from Nashville after a twenty-three year run. Brasfield won championships with both teams he managed, 1951 with New Orleans and 1956 with Nashville. Andrew won five pennants in his career with a record of 1857-1873. The Hounds pick up rookie Blake Dotson.

Four-time Manager of the Year Donnie Chancellor calls it a career after twenty years with Carolina. Chancellor led the Flyers to a pair of CBA titles in 1955 and 1968. He ends his run with a 1667-1575 record. The Flyers' new skipper is Jeremy McGrath.

Memphis saw enough of Aaron Noles during last year's 101-loss season, and sign newcomer Dave Boger.

The Blues also get the only $5 million share via revenue sharing.

Atlanta SP Don Downey (10-13, 3.21) gets the only notable arbitration award, up from $4.3 million to $5.1 million.

Free Agency Highlights

February 5 - Defending champion San Antonio picks up 3B Scott Hass (.268, 26 HR, 75 RBI, 102 R, 130 BB, 20 SB) from Nashville for six years at $12.1 million.

February 7 - C Alexander Roundtree (.347, 12 HR, 83 RBI, 82 BB) leaves the champion Missions to sign a three-year deal for $9.2 million for Tampa.

February 13 - They signed his favorite catcher, so Hurler of the Year Don Tapper (19-8, 2.89, WHIP 1.05) had to leave San Antonio for Tampa too, signing for four years at nearly $20 million.

February 23 - Nashville gives 1B Benjamin Gordon (.319, 8 HR, 82 RBI, 21 2Bs) $6.2 million for four years.

March 2 - Rule 5 Draft

Miami (from DAL) - MR Millard Bontrager, 3.34 ERA in 56 2/3 IP for AAA Little Rock
