Franchise History- The team originated as the Vortex, hailing out of Vancouver, British Columbia. They found little success there, posting their best record in Season 1 (66-96) and the worst record in franchise history in Season 3 (45-117). The only highlight for Vancouver fans while the Vortex took up residence there was the arrival of Glavine300’s original 20 million dollar man, Henry Garcia in Season 2. After 3 fruitless seasons, the owner of the Vancouver franchise decided to go into the maple syrup business and sold off the Vortex franchise to Natic_Empire. Natic took the franchise, with their bloated contracts and barren minor league system to the desert in search for an oasis…and the Tucson Daddies were born. The new found team had similar success over the next 3 seasons, compiling their franchise best record of 74-88 in Season 6. Ticket sales were a major issue in Tucson so in Season 7 the franchise moved 120 miles up Route 10 to Scottsdale to try and find a better market. Seasons 7 and 8 found more fans for the Daddies but not more success, the team has continued to struggled to find consistency and has had a very hard time climbing out of the basement of the AL West.
Franchise Outlook - One of the benefits of being at the bottom is that you get to pick at the top…and the Daddies have certainly had their share of top picks. With players like Rule 5 pickup Derek Patterson and draft picks like Willis Simmons, Erv Lewis and Bo Park, this franchise should be able to compete very soon.
