Springfield Slammers

On Monday morning the Slammers added their second closer to the roster. Many had predicted that the owner would fill the need in the outfield or add another front line starter, but after there was a run on closers Springfield's hand was forced in the second round.

"We were looking for an outfielder in the second round, but not having a third round pick forced us to rethink our plan a bit. A player of Derrick's caliber would not be available in the fourth round, we are excited to have a great tandem of closers to lead us to the title this year."

Here is a current look at the Slammers roster.
