I would prefer to roll without one, but maybe there really is someone in the room with the Captaincy in them.
If we must have one, my vote would be Backlund. He deserves it most IMO. Fight early pressure to be something he wasn’t, survived multiple team turnovers, formed himself into one of the games premiere two-way players and has quietly become one of this Franchises best ever.
I think there’s a chance he can hit a late career surge with C on his chest, not unlike Giordano who was always good but really became something different with the absence of Iggy.
