The Sporting News
Releases Pre-Season SLCBA Predictions
Portland, Me., Feb. 4, 2012(BNN): For more than 100 years,
The Sporting News
has been playing out baseball seasons on paper before they are played out on the
field and on computers. This year the tradition continues.
Despite picking the Illinois Cardinals to be one of the top teams in the SL East in
2011,
TSN proudly releases their predictions for the coming SLCBA season.
SL East: Atlantic Division
Maine – basically, the same club as in 2011.
Pennsylvania – potential: young at the plate, old on the mound.
New York – feared at the plate, fair on the mound.
Massachusetts – Patriot pitching proves problematic.
SL East: Southern Division
Georgia – By a nose.
Virginia – Will threaten throughout.
Florida – If the pitching comes through, look out!
Alabama – Will make the division interesting.
SL East: Western Division
Indiana – In a tight race.
Arkansas – May make this a 101 game race.
Iowa – Hurting and will look to youngsters.
Illinois – Will not find home-plate very often.
SL West: Plains Division
Kansas – Bats may take them home this year.
Texas – Will be very close.
Nebraska – Will be very close.
Oklahoma – A step behind the rest of the division.
SL West: Mountain Division
Wyoming – Pitching too good to put them anywhere else.
New Mexico – Batting will lead but pitching will get them only close.
Colorado – Climbs out of the cellar to make some noise.
Montana – Few too many holes for this division.
SL West Pacific Division
Arizona – Slim nod to dethrone defending Champions.
California – Improved batting but pitching to hold them back.
Washington – Will improve but a step behind in pitching department.
Nevada – Looking like 2011 all over again.
