Two teams went earlier today. We are at May 13 in the second season. A short plug for each team...

Pittsburgh: Like a challenge? The Pirates are 17-21, and may be overachieving. With close to $30 million in contract up for re-negotiations, this is the perfect time to start a rebuilding program. Seven rounds of rookies next season could be the launching pad for a quick turnaround in the Steel City.

Colorado: What can you say about any Colorado team? The thin air makes for good hitting and nervous pitching. They are 16-20, and are part of a very evenly-matched division. Who wouldn't like to add a couple of power hitters around the league's best slugging catcher in Glen Perlman and ride the longball to the playoffs?

Houston: Easily the pearl of the group, but you wouldn't know it by their 17-21 record. Good team, tough division. Two red hot hitters lead the charge in two-bagger John Haney (.358, 14hr) and leftfielder Steven Wooding (.267, 20hr in only 146 AB!). On the pitching side you have ace Odis Davalos (27-yr-old, rated 9) and the unhittable closer, Salvador Lopez (.132 vs Avg, 6-5, 37 saves last season).

Minnesota: The Twins are leading their division (21-15). This is an offensive manager's type of team. Four players hitting .333 or better, led by C Edmundo Talavera's .380 average. The pitching is somewhat thin, but two starters (Moorman and Griggs) have combined for a 10-3 record with both ERAs under 4.00.

Cincinnati: Good team, evenly-matched division. An excellent fan base, one of the best power-hitting teams in the league, and quality pitching make the Reds appealing to most anyone. No huge stars here; this is a blue-collar team where everyone contributes. The pitching stands out slightly more than the hitting with a good mix of starting, relieving and closing.
