Justin Morneau of the Grundy County Grizzlies welcomes Michael Cuddyer to the Bear's clan. Jack Howard, GCG's GM has decided Cuddyer will be the first choice in the Supplemental Draft. Cuddyer (right) celebrates being a first overall pick - even if it is a Supplemental Draft.Howard has set Cuddyer's name as the Bears 1st choice in the website's autodraft and when Steve Beard, league commissioner, flips the switch to start the draft - Howard's announcement of the Griz choice will be made.
Originally, Howard cut the Griz roster to the minimum with the intent of trying to help his beleaguered pitching staff. After studying the available free agent pitchers, Howard gleefully planned the staff rebuilding.
Justin Morneau, the Griz slugging 1B, called Howard and suggested Cuddyer would be a good addition to the team. Howard was surprised that Cuddyer was made available by division rival New York Knights. He met with Cuddyer and it wasn't long before Howard signed Cuddyer and declared him as the Griz regular RF.
Howard stated in response to questions from Bob Uecker, Bear radio announcer, regarding why the switch from pitching to Cuddyer - "Pitchers, pitchers, we don't need no stinking pitchers."
