Today is the first day of the offseason and the Tartans are already making moves.
Earlier today the Tartans waived veterans Hanley Chiasson and Ross Varitek, both had been with the team for over 6 years.
The club also waived the contracts of two pitchers Alfonso Cueto and Olmedo Ibarra. Both pitchers where members of the Tartans bullpen last season, Ibarra also made several spot starts during the season.
I will check in later should any other transactions be made today.

Strategic Insight
(This area of the blog will be used to record key insights learned in the Branch Rickey World.)
In no specific order:
1.) Don't under estimate the value of a good coaching staff, they can turn a dud into a competitive squad, etc.
2.) Pitching settings are one of the most important controls in the game: particularly the Call Bullpen setting, which can dramatically improve any pitchers performance (use it to reward good ERAs/WHIPs and improve bad ones).
3.) Pick a strategy that is unique and one that you can live with. (If you are in for the long haul then consider going young early, or you want to earn a free season get big league talent, just make sure you won't have regrets when your minor league system sucks.)
