Even in my own games, I'm always glad when pre-season is over and I can get on to games that "mean something", so I'm really looking forward to another excellent season of CBO baseball.

They most certainly have a currently good team and should compete again for a title, or, at least an NCA title. After a few trades to get better, the cupboards are bare at the moment for further improving their squad. I am attaching the position rankings of all teams here. I hope I captured them all! You can see that the Party Boys currently are pretty good at most positions, but they are 21st at shortstop and 20th at closer. They are also in the top 5 at four positions, including starting pitching. Therefore, they are likely to win a lot of games, even if the league overall is evened out more. I love that no team is predicted to win 70 or more games, and I would love if 60-something wins is the standard for good teams and 60-something losses is the standard for bad teams.
