#15 Looking for a playoff spot



Kansas City Bobcats

The Bobcats had one of the greatest offensive teams that the league has ever seen during there first four years in Santa Fe but the pitching staff was equally has bad. Then the team moved to Kansas City with a new attitude and starting there winning way again. The last three season has been really great for the team expect they just haven’t made the playoffs despite there great record during that time.

The total percentage of wins for the Bobcats is .511 (579 victories and 555 losses). The most wins in a single season was 93 during season two. The most losses in a season being 101 during season four.

Sanmoss17 is entering his fourth season as the general manger of the franchise compiling a 265-221 record for a .545 winning percentage. Sanmoss17 took over a team that was in deep need of some help and he quickly turned them around into a playoff contending team. Now if he can only get the Bobcats to the playoffs some time soon.
