Last off season the then Burlington Black and Blue Brachiosaurus entered the winter meetings with one thing on the mind, signing a big time free agent (or two). GM Indiansrck27 came through on that by signing Nick Philips to a massive 4 year 61 million dollar contract. Peter Corino was the other big time free agent netting a 4 year 33 million dollar deal.
The BB&B entered spring training as confident as ever prepared to take down the monster that was the Philadelphia Black Lightning. Burlington soon realized the only problem as that Phillips and Corino who had big seasons previous seasons could not adjust to the extreme pitchers park that is Mustain Stadium. Nick Phillips didn't make it to the trade deadline before he was dealt to the eventual World Series Champion Salem Witch Doctors in a money saving deal for the BB&B which would leave them untied to a huge contract the next offseason. Corino on the other hand was not traded due to lack of interest.
Now back to today, the newly relocated BB&B to Kansas City announced that they had signed Ted Wilson to a massive 4 year 70 million dollar contract.
Uh Oh in Kansas City? When news of the signing broke the thought of Phillips was instantly in everyone's mind. GM Indiansrck27 would regret the signing in 2 months when Wilson fails to produce just like Phillips the previous season. Except this time GM Indiansrck has a different mindset. "I mean of course Nick Phillips is in my mind, that was a huge mistake, we're lucky Salem was willing to take the contract. The difference between this year and last year is not only are we in a much more hitter friendly, especially to contact hitters with speed but also last season I had regrets as soon as Phillips signed, this time no regrets. Ted Wilson is exactly what we need, and in our new ballpark he WILL produce in front of our big boys Lugo and Cashman."
In 2 months time will Wilson be a BB&B, will he be producing? No one really knows, but only time will truly tell if "he did it again".
