Sunsets Lose Backstop To Season Ending Injury

              The league champion Sunrise Sunsets will have a much tougher than anticipated time in trying to defend their crown as they lost their catcher, Chris Craig, to a season ending knee injury.
              Craig suffered a ruptured patellar tendon and will miss the entire campaign. The Twilighters already lost Calvin Rayburn and Keith Nicoll to retirement and will start the season without slugger Rudy Mueller.
              Although Craig hit only .263 with one home run and eight RBI last season, his value to the team far outweighs his offensive contribution. Long regarded as one of the league's top defensive catchers, as well as a team leader, Craig will be sorely missed behind the plate and in the dugout.
              Craig was a first team all-star in the 2014-2015 Fall/Winter season and was twice named to as a second team all-star.
              Three seasons ago, Craig was limited to just 21 at bats due to injury, but bounced back to hit a robust .306 the following season.
              The Sunsets will explore the trade market in hopes of finding a catcher. In the meanwhile, player/manager Brandon Hull may be pressed into service until Craig's replacement can be found.
