2058.02 Powerful Weatherford is Round One Selection
The Sacramento Mad Popes just turned Oklahoma native Justin Weatherford's dream into reality. The lanky outfield prospect out of Buffalo Wild Wings High School was drafted in the first round by his favorite team.
"Everyone I know is a Mad Popes fan," Weatherford said after celebrating with family and friends upon learning of the news. "My dad has yet to quit jumping around and hugging everyone. Somebody pinch me, cause I'm in heaven."
The lefthand hitting Weatherford projects to play left field during his professional career due to above average range and acceptable defensive acumen. But it was his prowess at the plate that moved him to the top of the Pope's draft board.
"We just love his power," GM shoeless said from his office at the Basilica. "Power has always been a point of emphasis for us here in Sacramento. All of us like nothing better than to see balls flying over that deep right field wall."
Weatherford's power could be quite the savior in the coming years as the 2058 Mad Popes are sitting dead last in long balls through a month and a half into the season. The team's measly 12 dingers is something GM shoeless wishes would change.
"I've never seen anything like this lack of power with this current bunch of punch-n-Judys," shoeless continued. "I'm just so sick of this wimpy ass style of play. I've spent 17 seasons trying to fix it, but have yet to find the magic bullet."

This immediately took him off our draft board. The kid is really surrounded by bad influence and poor decision makers.

Ha. I'm not even sure who I am anymore. Did you see the guys I received in the trades for Flores and Wullenweber? They collectively have more power than my entire franchise.

"Everyone I know is a Mad Popes fan," said a guy who obviously sits alone in his basement playing sports sims all day.

Beautiful self-own. Or perhaps a new stadium is on the horizon?
