A view from outer space

There are two sides to every coin and conversely there are two views of every GLBL franchise.  For those unfamiliar with the veteran GM William Atteberry, GM Toledo,  it would be easy to dismiss the 2015 version of the  Neptunes as a ‘Lost in Space’ franchise.  The parent club is 18-74, AAA Harbor Springs 34-53, and Sandusky Navigators AA 35-51.  And, while #2 in Team Prospect ratings they seem light years behind the Toronto Maples, who have incidentally won 20 more games than Toledo.

But those who have followed the savvy GM Atteberry over the years know full well he is not a guy who fell off the turnip truck and landed in the GLBL.  There is a plan at work,  Always, the plan.  The young prospects, the blue chip players working their way through high school and college that are being evaluated, the heavy reliance on staying in the black…seemingly innate forces at work that will form a consolidation.

So, before you experience the ‘huh?, what?, where did those guys come from?, remember this post and know that the vision on the ice blue planet sees the GLBL through its own lens.  A lens that will come into focus faster than you can say…….just a guess….not a prediction….2018.
