Bostock Announces "Mechanics" Lineup and Rotation

Late Friday evening new "Mechanics" Manager Lyman Bostock and Owner Matt B were flooded with questions after dropping the biggest news in sports in the past 50 years, perhaps of all time.  Matt and Bostock will require each and every player on the team to donate portions of their salaries commensurate with their results, as measured by the .500 resims.  Bostock explained, "I drafted Jimmie in the first round for a .350 OBA and .539 SLG with 39 home runs.  If he isn't within 10% of those numbers his pay will be docked and will be donated to a charity of his choice."

The players were mostly mum on the news, with all but Rube Waddell declining to comment on the concerning, albeit altruistic, nature of the "Mechanics" front office.  Waddell on the other hand was visibly excited though frustrated, as he couldn't decide if the Colorado Gator School  for alligator wrestling, or the National Historic Fire Foundation's "Hall of Flame", was the best place to send any donations.
