Branching out from their yearly battle for the Iron Throne in the Westeros Baseball League, the Ghost Hill Green Dragons enter strange new territory to take on a hodge podge of odd foreign teams. Their spring training league does contain one familiar face among the dozens of other teams: the Direwoves of Winterfell have apparently joined them in trying their luck in a new league.
The initial draft (starter packs) provided Ghost Hill with a quality anchor for their lineup at catcher with Francisco Mejia, and a solid starting pitcher to lead the team, Jake Arrieta.
After the first game (which coincidentally enough was against Waffletown), Ghost Hill racked up a quick 2000 points to draft more players. The new additions provided another good quality player, this time for the outfield: Yasiel Puig.
As we near the end of June in spring training, Ghost Hill finds themselves mired in mediocrity, 5 games under .500. A few bright spots provide some hope (Mejia's .346 avg; Scott Spiezio maintaining over .300; Mark Bellhorn's 17 homers; Arrieta's 9 wins; starters ERA ranking 3rd in the league), but there is plenty of room for improvement as spring training continues.
