Veteran Roster Hitting Rankings

The draft is complete and the rosters are set. The world is locked down so we cannot set a specific date for Opening Day yet. However, we can at least analyze those aforementioned rosters. The numbers for the following five offensive stat categories (batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, plate appearances per RBI, and at bats per home run) are calculated using career numbers of the veteran players for each team. Burros, El Diablos, and Redux each have six vets; the Aces are carrying five; the Islanders and Nuts both have four. Rookies, you are wild cards, so sorry, you have to sit this one out. With that we have hit our 120 word minimum. Scroll down see how our newly formed veteran rosters stack up.

Redux Update Colors, Tweak Logos

Minor changes for the Redux in 2020. First, orange is promoted from its place as an accent-only color in logos to the team's secondary color. Gray and navy blue remain unchanged as the team's primary and tertiary colors, respectively. The second change is another promotion with the webfoot "D" becoming the team's primary logo. This logo also receives a subtle tweak by giving an even weight to the navy outline around the logo.
The "DUX" shield logo (former primary) and the bright green, carried over from the SeeYas years of the franchise, both are sidelined. The only logo retained from the 2019 Redux set is the gray version of the duck head / ball in flight.

King Friday Rebrands as Burros

Donkeys are back. In a way. The one year team from 2012, recognizable by their logo drawn with the pencil tool in paint and surprising use of red jerseys, is having their spirit animal revived by David Castle. Castle is carrying over the red and gray colors, but also throwing purple into the mix. The rest of the 2020 identity is completely retooled. Instead of Donkeys, Castle's new team dons the name Burros. No more crude kicks, the new logo (seen at right) drapes the burro in Zorro regalia in front of a red circle. The Burros will be the first WSEM team to feature red as a color since 2016 (Red Cox).
Castle's last team, King Friday, was also a resurrection. King Friday, like the Donkeys, began in 2012 but played through 2014. After a two year hiatus, Castle brought back the King Friday name in 2017, although updating the colors and logos (twice): originally to blue as primary, and later the recent orange and black scheme.
Irrelevant notes:
  • Castle denies any reference to David Buhr (his first WSEM captain) in the Burros name.
  • If Castle ever wants to continue the 2012 revival tour, the Aces franchise is still active, but the Punchouts brand is free to claim.
