The pundits are more pessimistic about the Bulldogs this season, projecting them to go only 77-85. Owner Don Allaire expects us to stay close to an even record, as usual. Hawk Kaikeaponi, Herb Clark, and Manasa Pualani are listed among the top ten in the conference. Waterbank is projected to repeat but with only an 85-77 record, and three teams are projected to tie with 87 wins in the EC.

The starting rotation will be Herb Clark, Dana Webb, Jeff Gwin, Kewiki Hiwahikeiki, and Maluhialani Kimo. (Those are some hard names to say.) There are concerns about Gwin's endurance, and despite two good seasons in the rotation, he may move to the bullpen as the season progresses. Other than Manasa Pualani, all of the current relievers are right-handed.

The starting lineup will be

LF James Porter
C Jonathan Wilson
3B Haukea Kaikeapona
CF Vincent Bowman
1B Barent Schachte
RF Trevor Edwards
SS Sergio DeNiro
2B Joe Dougherty

As usual, not much punch in the middle infield. Hekeka Ahulani, Dan Phillips, Lou Johnston, and Reed Barber will all play against lefties.

Our system is still only #13 overall. Our current top prospect is 18-year-old catcher Kirk Hoyt, an international find last season, who is #26 overall and will repeat rookie league this year. 22-year-old Tom Caldwell is #44 and is pushing for a big-league spot, and pitcher Rick Mosley (#60) will start in A-ball.
