They begin 2046 in LL4, for the first time in their organization's history. Pitching SP1 Chase Holder The organization's unquestionable ace, Chase has put together two stellar seasons in a row, and at 26 figures to lead the rotation for some time to come. SP2 Felipe Mendoza After a stellar 2044 campaign, Mendoza returned to Earth a bit in 2045. However, the organization still believes he is a high quality starting pitcher and looks forward to a strong 2046 campaign. SP3 Lazaro Ledesma The grizzled old man, Ledesma was expected to limp off into the sunset last season but instead turned in an entirely unexpected quality season, albeit rejoining the rotation later in the season. At 35, he should be retiring, but hopes to surprise again with another quality season. SP4 Scottie Brant Signed late in the offseason, Deadwood hopes that Brant can show some of his star form from a few seasons ago while in Legends with Burlington. His 2045 campaign was not impressive, but was mostly out of the bullpen, which is not his usual role. His resume speaks volumes and Deadwood hopes a return to the rotation will spell success. SP5 Lester Gale Now in his Rookie season, Gale impressed in a handful of starts late in the 2044 season. He's young and unproven, but shows promise. He's got a blazing fastball, but needs to keep the ball in the yard. At 24, if he can finish his development and find some success, he'll be around for many seasons. SS Josue Mercado A lifetime minor leaguer, Mercado was signed by Deadwood last season and made his major league debut at 26. It's questionable if he can develop enough before his time as a prospect is finished, but if he can he's got a chance to be a major league starting pitcher. LR Vincent Levine On paper, Vincent promises to be a quality relief pitcher. Whether that will prove to be the case remains to be seen. Last year he spent some months with the club and was less than great. In 2046, he will need to show some success at the big league level to stick around. LR2 Nolan Hatfield Nolan is young and inexperienced. He made his debut last season as a mop up artist and to get some reps, and did not do very well. But his prospect sheet and potential are very high, and there are hopes that he will either be a bullpen star or a low-innings starter. He's not there yet, but he'll get his reps this season and hopefully finish the season with a solidified role. MR Gus Zuliani Gus' 2043 and 2044 campaigns with Deadwood were All Star quality, and he was an anchor in the bullpen. His 2045 was a bust and he was nearly cut. The organization is desperate for him to return to form and prove last season was an anomaly. MR2 Daniel Smith Smith is a Deadwood veteran. He has always been a little bit of a disappointment given his ratings. The organization thought he could be a quality starter, but he could never put it together. As a reliever he has been pretty good, with some poor streaks. SET Marcos Ruiz Since being signed in 2043, Ruiz has been untouchable. This season, he is the primary setup man and hopes to dominate again. At 34, age is knocking at his door a little more loudly. SET2 Enrique Marin Marin has been a long time veteran in Deadwood. He has been All Star worthy every season since 2035. His ratings took an absolute beating this offseason, and he is 36 years old. However, his 2045 performance was so good the organization is going to let him pitch with a cane as long as he keeps performing. CLR Russel Billingsley 2045 was a career defining season for Billingsley. He stepped into a closer role and dominated all season. Deadwood is hoping that, at 27, he stays there for the next 7+ seasons. Hitting DH LHP "Bromano" Brett Romano has been a quality DH against lefties in his career, though that limits his playing time by nature. RHP Danny Weldon Weldon was acquired last offseason and put in an All-League performance, starting against RHP. At 33, he hopes to have one or two good seasons left. 1B LHP Emiliano Ocampo Ocampo is a late blooming prospect who may or may not have enough time to develop into a quality major leaguer. Relegated to at bats against LHP, his performance will dictate whether he stays in the lineup this season. RHP Gavin Jones Jones was a slow-footed outfielder for most of his career in Deadwood. His bat kept him in the lineup, despite his poor range. This season, due to retirements/departures, Jones has taken the 1B role, improving the outfield defense and keeping his bat in the lineup. His power was never what it was hoped to be, and is poor speed has limited him to singles and doubles, but he has still proven to be a career .300 hitter against RHP. 2B Marv Paulsen Paulsen is a potential star who is just entering his prime. His glove and bat have earned him the 2B role against both LHP and RHP. 2046 will be his first season at full development, and the organization is hopeful and excited. 3B Elliot Curran Curran has been both an OF and a 3B during his long Deadwood career. His bat has always played, despite his less than optimal ratings. Starting last season, he became Deadwood's full time 3B against both LHP and RHP. SS Lorenzo Solis The best player in Deadwood and a sure fire Hall of Famer, Solis moved from 3B to SS last season and excelled. He has been a career .330 hitter (.360 against LHP) and at 29 should still have quite a few seasons left to shine. LF LHP Johnny Holm Holm is a quality major league outfielder against LHP and a sub-quality one against RHP. So his role is clearly defined, and he covers the outfield with grace. RHP Ed Scruggs Scruggs' 2043 and 2044 seasons were All Star quality, but his 2045 was a disappointment. Deadwood hopes for a return to form this season. He covers a lot of ground in the outfield and normally handles RHP well, and with power. CF Caleb Mancini A natural outfielder, Mancini is entering his first real season after a cup of coffee in 2045 (an embarrassingly bad cup of coffee). His potential is huge. He's a very young 22. Time will tell if they write stories about him in 15 years. RF Lorenzo Camacho Camacho still has some development to go, and at 27 might not get there. But his potential upside his high and he will get the chance against both LHP and RHP. He covers the outfield with grace and could be a star.
