Boston Americans

New Name.

New Strategy.

New League.

New Name: Boston Americans                     Previous Name: Aberdeen Ironbirds

After a failed playoff attempt missing out by only one game, management decided to move the franchise the historically winning city of Boston. There is no secret behind the reason for the name change. The team owned by Jeremy Byrd has never won a championship. Of course, the Boston American’s won the first world series and we hope to bring back that success.

The American’s will stay in pitcher friendly Petco Park.

New Strategy:

Of course, we cannot comment on this.

New League:

Moving into the American League was not a difficult decision. Being an American League type manager and the opportunity arising, the newly named American’s felt that they had no other option but to accept the move. The American’s submitted their request midway through the season and were very excited when notified by the commissioner’s office that the move was approved. This has left the team with a need at designated hitter but the team is actively looking to acquire that through trade and preparing to draft through the draft if needed.

Team Info:

The American’s have a bit of a hole in CF, long term hole at first base and are looking for someone to fill the designated hitter position. Catcher will not be a good spot for the American’s this season, but that is expected to be filled through trade when the draft begins.

Pitching is for the most part in decent shape, and the American’s are expected to keep 10 pitchers.

Aside from catcher, management feels comfortable with the infield positions.

In the corners, the American’s are in good shape with Pence and Stanton. Centerfield is an issue right now and Pence may be forced to take most of the innings in the middle of the outfield.
The expectations are high and remain the same even with the move to the Molitor division.


On the block: Grady Sizemore.
