CLIPPERS ANNOUNCE A SPOT ON POSTSEASON ROSTER FOR CANNON-ARMED CATCHER
Calgary GM DeMarco Strategizing Against Possible Playoff Matchups Weeks Before Play Begins
 
Low level minor league catchers Paul Taylor (left) and Carl O'Brien (right) await the call from Calgary GM Christian DeMarco after he announced that one of them will make the Clippers postseason roster in a strategy to stop speedy rivals in the upcoming 2022 SIMBL playoffs.
The Calgary Clippers front office has announced that they have made a postseason roster move weeks before the official start to the 2022 SIMBL playoffs even begin.
Clippers GM Christian DeMarco stated that a roster space on the 25-man postseason roster will be made for either 24 year-old Single A backstop Carl O'Brien or for Calgary's recent 23 year-old third-round Rookie League draftee Paul Taylor.
Both catchers possess cannon arms and superb defensive ability in which DeMarco has eyes on stopping the vaunted 'speed kills' teams of Dallas Texans GM Robert Don and San Diego Warewolves GM Paul Ware should the postseason hard-luck Clippers advance that far to face either team in the playoffs.
O'Brien was picked up as a minor league free agent back on June 27, 2020 and Taylor was drafted with the 86th overall pick in the recent 2022 SIMBL Draft by DeMarco specifically for the reason of shutting down esteemed SIMBL speed kings such as Lance Stanley III and Tony Aguilar of Dallas and Kent Harvey, Kel Griffin, Bill Wells and Manny Romero of San Diego should Calgary meet them in the playoffs.
"We know it's unconventional to waste a precious postseason roster spot on bringing up a Rookie League or Single A player for the playoffs but we've watched O'Brien and Taylor closely since we brought them here and acquired them for their arms specifically for possible moments like what could happen against speed-rich teams," said DeMarco.
While both backstops possess elite defensive ability both also are very weak on the offensive side of the ball hitting very low for average.
It's a strategy that's not going to make current starter Garland Wiley, obtained earlier this season in a trade with Hollywood, too happy. Wiley took over for Clippers longtime starter Bruno Perillo who recently went down for the season with a hamstring strain.
"We'll see what happens when the time comes and we'll see if it was a plausible strategy or not. It will be either a genius move or a complete failure if the chance comes" said DeMarco who is seeking only his second SIMBL Coveted Cup Championship in what will be the Clippers 15th trip to the postseason in the SIMBL's 18-season history.
