Morgan Lynch

​

Boston Bandits (2000-
Lynch wasn't drafted in the Inaugural Draft, but the Bandits picked him up shortly after on a minor league contract. He started the 2000 season as a bench player. Lynch clearly made an impression in Boston as he was named starting center fielder early in the season. He ended his first season with a .283 batting average in 106 at-bats in addition of a Gold Glove at CF. Lynch's contract was automatically renewed by Boston at the end of the season.

In 2001, Lynch's number decreased, constantly through the year. Boston eventually grew tired of him and he was replaced in the lineup near the end of the season. Lynch only appeared once in the Championship Series as a pinch hitter, but didn't manage to get on base. Even if he played only 35 games, he was impressive enough on defense to earn a ABA Gold Glove Award at CF.

Just like seemingly every player on the Boston squad, Lynch was unable to keep up with last year's performances and struggled at the bat. He was also pretty bad during the Championship Series, batting for a mediocre .111 in five games. For the third straight year, Lynch won the ABA Gold Glove at CF.

New York Bombers (2003-
During the offseason, Boston decided to deal Lynch to the Bombers in exchange for starting pitcher Bill McCrary, in a attempt to improve the rotation.
