Franchise History - In the Delaware franchise we have a team on the rise, this team has consistently gotten better over the last several seasons. They started out as the Hartford Harpons with a 79-83 one and done season. In Seasons 2 and 3 they moved to Dover for the first time as the Chicken Haulers and recorded two winning seasons even though they didn’t make the playoffs. In between Seasons 3 & 4 the team was bought by canesfan4369. He has retained ownership of the team but has moved them several times. In Seasons 4, 5 & 6 the hailed out of St. Louis as the Buds and played competitively, securing a wildcard berth in Season 6. They became the Milwaukee High Life and took the AL North in Season 7, registering a 93-69 record. Season 8 finds them back in Dover, hailing as the Delaware Destroyers with their home base at Watkins Field.

Franchise Outlook - The reigning AL North champs have some talent. All Stars Kenneth Steele, Cookie Otanez and Gaylord Glass lead the team. Their most celebrated player in the minors is Catcher Deivi Goya. Even though they traded away their first pick in the draft this year to sign a Free Agent, the Delaware Destroyers look like a strong contender in the AL North.
