Dixon Announces Pretty Ladies Lineups and Rotations

Ted K was on hand this morning to introduce Rap Dixon, the new manager for the Lancaster Pretty Ladies.  Dixon, a superstar in the Negro League's, was excited to manage a lineup with both MLB greats like Eddie Collins, Honus Wagner, Frank Baker, and Carl Yastrzemski along with a few Negro League stars such as Edgar Wesley and Biz Mackey.

He did voice some concerns about his defense on the right side as Rocky Colavito and Wesley aren't exactly fleet of foot, but thought Mackey would be one of the best throwing catchers in the league.

As for the rotation, Dixon reminded everyone that it was Ted, and not he, that chose 11 batters to start the draft, but was also thrilled that he landed Bobby Shantz, who may be the best #5 starter in the league.

Here's the Pretty Ladies:
