After a disappointing defense of their season 2 World Series title that ended in an ALCS 7 game heartbreaker to the Boise Spuds, the Rebels targeted pitching this offseason and they hit the jackpot. Their number 1 target was Alexander Gray and he cost them dearly, to the tune of $52.5 million over 4 years. Also acquired was youngster Greg Riggs and highly paid veteran Gary Jenkins. The pitching staff boasts seven quality starters and hope this gets them back to the Series.The offense returns almost completely intact, losing leadoff man and double machine, Andy Reynolds who left via free agency and young catcher, Phil Koh who was dealt to the Scottsdale Bombers.Outlook: The Rebels own 6 of the first 56 picks due to the departure of some key bullpen parts but hope to continue building up a growing farm system while keeping the big league club competitive. Will these guys be the future of the Rebels or will they be used as trade bait and the trade deadline? Stay tuned, this team should be fun to watch.
