Pepper Virtual Baseball League


News and Info from Larimer


STATEMENT BY OWNER JOHN J. DYBALA -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

* Item 1: There appears to be some confusion over our team name. We are not called the "Larimer Knights" but simply the "Knights," based in the county of Larimer (hence the naming of the location of the team) and in the city of Laporte, which gives a geographical reference to the team's specific location. We have contacted the league offices and resolved it with them, but wished to clarify the situation for other owners. We are aware that having the Atlanta Knights and the Larimer Knights in the same league could cause some confusion, and we have notified the league offices that we would be willing to change our team's name if it came to that.

* Item 2: I wish to publicly apologize to at least two of my fellow owners for inflicting the stress of the last three weeks on them. It was inappropriate and unprofessional, and hopefully should not happen again for at least a few months, as I was hired for a cashiering job this afternoon, ending six months of unemployment.

* Item 3: I have received innumberable requests concerning the availability of either Benes and Chris Hoiles. Due to their popular demand, I will only give reluctant consideration to any offer for them that does not provide me with some combination of the following:

  • A defensively-solid catcher (50 FA/50 AS minimum sought)
  • Strong middle infielders (seek solid FA/AS, batting/speed a plus)
  • Solid defensive outfielders (specifically LF or RF)
  • A solid bat (55/55 minimum preferred, speed would help)
  • Solid pitching (either starting or relief)

    In any trade offer, please specify which team I am speaking with, to help me find your roster among my printouts.

    Enjoy the season, everyone.
