After being relegated down to VI, and the pitching staff that stinks, and a 120/15 SP decide to just be terrible and sport and ERA just under 5, there is at least one glimmer of hope. Josiah Nichols, drafted back in '67, has moved into the top spot in the Global Top 100 prospects. SI went up 15 last season, and has already hit 12 pops this season. https://brokenbat.org/player/375153 Hey, one positive in a pretty poor season...

This is my 22nd season managing this team (I took control of it just before the season roll-over between 47/48, so the archives give me 47 too, but I never did a single game in 2047). I have only ever had 2 closers. In those 22 seasons, those two combine for nearly 1000 saves. I think that's pretty neat.

Should I just call him up now and start him in the Majors? Is that "better" than leaving him in AAA for a little longer since he's only 19, well pretty much 20, and only at 91 SI?
