[b:8a6fdfe163]AT Press: [u:8a6fdfe163]Season V Opening Day![/u:8a6fdfe163][/b:8a6fdfe163]
We are now entering the 5th season, of what was originally designed as a three season concept. The Grenadiers have gone through some massive changes throughout the seasons, as I am sure is the case for much of the league - considering the varied owners & players available through the years.
Rather what is more surprising, rather than what has changed, is who actually remains. Jon Garland & Mariano Rivera (who I've actually used in 3 prior seasons!). The only 2 01 players that are also on this years squad [b:8a6fdfe163]AND[/b:8a6fdfe163] remained with their original MLB teams. I also have Eric Chavez & Mike Mussina, but they didnt actually make the roster. ;) Mark Buehrle got traded to another owner.
For those curious enough - here is a link to each of my previous four teams - so you can see their evolution throughout the seasons based on trades & players available.
