The Hamilton Mounties have signed C Paul Trent to a five year $60M dollar deal in hopes of pushing the team over the top.  Trent can also play 1b but his biggest asset is in the power department.  A cast off from the Sea Gulls became a calculated gamble for GM Alex Wobbema as he hopes that combining Trent with the number one pick in the draft, Dave ‘Mustache’ Teague will spell nothing but trouble for opposing pitchers.

Teague can play both corner outfield positions and first base but, again, he’s there for his bat more than his glove.  He projects to hit for power, average, and work pitchers for walks.  It will be interesting to see if he bats before or after Trent in the line up.

With no real weaknesses in the starting rotation 1-5 Hamilton may just have captured lightening in a bottle with their plan going into 2015.
