Seems as though the Lebowskis have made their last moves of the offseason, losing out on the Russ Jerchower sweepstakes, being unable to offer their 2 year, 40-million dollar contract due to a trade being completed a few hours too late. However, some replacement moves have been made and the Lebowskis look ready to compete.
The Lebowskis made the bullpen a prime focus in this offseason, acquiring not only closer Pat Yamamoto but also many set up men and specialists. Sal Harris is being moved from the trading block to the big league starting rotation in an attempt to counter the 3 lefties making up the rest of the rotation. The Lebowskis are also excited about LF Justin Hutton, a 40-40 man twice in his career, who will take over leadoff duties.
Although recently coming in #26 in the league power rankings, and without their best player and pitcher, the Buffalo Lebowskis are hopeful of the playoffs. When asked about their spot in the rankings, new Lebowski 1B Luther Marte said, "Well, you know, that's just like, uh, their opinion, man. We're acheivers." Seems like Marte will be a perfect fit for the Lebowskis.
