Jennings Announces Fanclub Lineup and Rotation

"Ee-Yah, I am looking forward to managing this club.  I may score 150 runs hitting in in front of Bonds, Muscles McGwire, and Joey Belle."  Hughie Jennings assumed the managers role for John McDonald Fanclub on Friday and immediately inserted himself at the top of the order.  "Last year for the Orators I was hit by a pitch 67 times, the year before with the Survivors it was 79 times.  My philosophy for this team is to get on anyway possible, and I expect Roy to do the same."  He continued, "Roy was hit 5 times in his entire career, I can do that in two games."

Asked about his decision to play a 256 error rate out of position, Jennings stood firm.  "Thomas, Chase, Sutton, and myself are each a heck of a fielder.  Swarty will be fine, how much harm can someone really do in right."

Jennings ended the conference chatting about McGwire's chances at the ATB home run record playing in the Polo Grounds and how excited he was to see Gabe White and Dennis Eckersley coming out of the bullpen.
