2029 TIGERS, MEDIOCRE AGAIN? |
|
|
|
Hello Tiger fans, it is almost opening day for 2029 and your Tigers are ready to take the field. We have a few new faces this year starting with rookies Nguna Oba at catcher and Vaughn Hayes at SS. I know the GM is very excited about these 2 young players, when asked about them he said, "I really think that they will be an improvement for this team this year and years to come. I'd be very shocked if they are not both considered early ROY candidates." While Oba seems to be the next Gold Glove caliber catcher for years to come some people are concerned with his bat. I myself do not see a huge improvement in the offense category from the catcher position, but the defensive upgrade will sure help everyone on the field including the pitchers. ...

2029 WASHINGTON SEASON PREVIEW |
|
|
|
Key injuries dashed the hopes of the 2028 Nationals. C Travis Oiliani and would be rookie sensation OF Jack Blake were saddled with 12 month injuries last June and won't be back until mid-season 2029.
With the injury to Blake, Yankee outfielder Joel Long was traded for last year and will lead off for 2029. Joining Long in the outfield are Noriega and Duncan until Blake is healthy again. Both are solid performers and have been with the Nationals for a while now.
Infield much the same as last year with 2026 first rounder Riyka Okada starting at 3rd base this year.
Starting rotation is the same as 2028 with one key addition - ex-Dodger Guzman Zertuche replaces veteran Jeff Behne at #4 in the rotation. Ted Ottem joins a s ...

2029 NY METS: SAME OLD SONG AND DANCE? |
|
|
|
A new season of HBL baseball is finally here, and for Mets fans they’re wondering if their team will continue to be the bottom feeders of the National League East. The expansion of the HBL to twenty-two teams means realignment for the NL. The new Eastern Division as some old rivalries, that let’s be honest the Mets would prefer they went elsewhere. Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, & of course the Washington Nationals all returned, while the Houston Astros were shipped off to the NL Central. With the top two teams returning from last year, it will be a tough mountain to climb to get back in the driver’s seat of the East.
Who is missing from an awful 2028 team? Well 37 year-old Left Fielder, Fernando Martinez was let go, and is now h ...

ASTROS ACQUIRE WILLIAMS FROM BOSOX |
|
|
|
In a move to fill a gaping hole in the outfield in Houston, the Astors acquired RF Dave Williams from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for BA Top 50 prospects Leroy Castle and OF Cory Sheppard, along with C George Woods.
Willams is coming off his first season in the HBL, hit a respectable .270 with 25 HRs. His power, as well as superior defensive skills, are welcomed to a squad with no real OF skill in the crucial CF position.
The Astros did give up some gems in the farm, as both Castle and Sheppard are on the cusp of becoming big league ready.
"Our outfield was a major concern," noted Astros GM Bob Figarotta, "and I did not feel that this team could compete without some additions coming in from outside of the organizatio ...

METS TO CALL PRESS CONFERENCE AT 6PM EST TONIGHT |
|
|
|
New York Mets officials have called for a press conference tonight. There are rumors circulating out of the head office that it could be the announcement of a possible trade. GM Michael Pullen has been shopping his ace, Pedro Valenza. An unknown source from inside the Mets organization said, "Yes, we're trading Pedro Valenza today. We've had lots of interest, and we are talking with Pedro and seeing what is best for both parties." It is rumored that Valenza could land in one of three places: New York Yankees, Baltimore Orioles, or the St. Louis Cardinals. We can not confrim nor deny but the thought is the Yankees seem to be the front runner for the Big Kahuna. I guess we will all know by 6 tonight. ...

|
|

HBL Officials have confirmed that the league will be expanding after the 2028 season, adding two (2) new teams in the National League.
HBL Weekly News has learned that Bob Lang will be the new owner of the Colorado Rockies, and Lukas Brooks will be taking the helm of the Milwaukee Brewers.

NL Central: Houston, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Calgary
NL West: San Fran, San Diego, Colorado, Los Angeles
This would assumably mean the end of interleague play until the final 2 expansion teams are added following the ...

YANKEES SCALP TRIBE!! |
|
|
|
What was supposed to be a low-scoring, pitching dominated series in New York, turned into a slugfest with the American Leagues best hitting club sweeping the Indians back to Cleveland in four games.
Game 1:
Yankees 13 Indians 12 (12 innings)
Both teams 5th starters pitched so offense was expected here. The Indians lead 9-4 going into the bottom of the 9th before the Yankees exploded for 5 runs to take the game into extra innings. The Yankees then poured salt into the open wound by scoring 3 in the 12th to come from behind to win the 1st game.
Notes:
LF Joel Long went 7-8 in the game, what may very well be the leagues 1st ever 7-hit game.
Game 2:
Yankees 13 Indians 3
The Yankees blasted Indian ac ...

DODGERS 2028 ROUNDUP |
|
|
|
The Dodgers head into the season with only a few changes as they were unable to acquire any top players in FA or in trading in the offseason. Problem is the NL West is stacked with the likes of the Giants and San Diego making it difficult to win any games in the division. The best they can hope for is maybe breaking .500 for once. They have a pretty good offense with a Young and unproven starting lineup that could make or break their season and the relief is only slightly better than last season. Let's look at the roundup
THE LINEUP
Catcher (No Change)
Buitrago, Jorge
Buitrago is a top 5 catcher in all of the HBL. He had his best season ever last year hitting .335 Avg with .392 OB and 33 HR.
1B (No Change)
