Ridge Ducks Announce Logo and Draft Update

The Ridge Ducks today have announced their team colors and logo. The thought here is that while a duck is traditionally a docile creature, they're smarter than most people give them, and as Co-Owner Mike Thomas said "Who doesn't like Emilo Estevez?"

"Yeah. The new Logo looks an awful lot like the Disney-Sponsored Anaheim Ducks' New Tag, but it's better than the awful Quakerjack that other Island-Based Water Fowl Squad parades around." Quipped Co-Owner Rob Serva when asked for comment. "Hey, did you get a load of the soon-to-be-Major-League-Talent we've picked up in this Minor League Draft?"

While many teams have made excellent selections on future talent, it seems the Ducks are looking to win this year, using their first two picks to grab players that they feel will make a big impact on their Major League Roster this year. By grabbing Troy Tulowitzki with their first pick, Thomas said that they've settled their SS position with a player they feel will be the next Bobby Crosby, "hopefully with a little more power." With their Second Round pick, they nailed down future Ace Luke Hochevar.

"It's going to be a tough league to compete in. You can see already the level of attention being paid to these first couple of Draft Rounds." said Serva "We'll have to wait and see how everything shakes out, but I'm looking forward to our inaugural season. We've got our eye on a manager candidate, and if all goes well, hopefully we'll be making an announcement on that real soon too."
