7th Place
The seventh place
Cape Coral Hurricanes have endured three bad seasons in a row... pitching is terrible... 'Canes came in 38 games behind this year... they didn't post a winning month this year... never got higher than seventh in the standings... 4.73 ERA is horrendous (30th)... starters are atrocious (4.87 ERA)... but the Hurricanes do have a few contact hitters... All-Star SS Lynwood Barley is a good hitter, but with little pop... so is Barney Fiske, but not much power, either... Marvin Cordice is a real good leadoff man and base stealer... Dain Coxson and Kalian Coston are fair with the bats with decent power... not a lot else in the batting order... Cape Coral scored 686 runs (16th), hit .275 BA (8th), but only had 96 homers (26th-tied)... and the 'Canes don't field very well with a poor .974 FA... only two starters, Frisco Francis and Michael Nagy, are decent... the bullpen is just adequate with Manny Rosetti.
Cape Coral has a lackluster IPA history... only 8 postseason appearances... no Pro Cups... the last TU South pennant was long ago in '41... the last time the Hurricanes contended was in '47... it's been a long dry spell in Cape Coral.
