[The Game]

16-10 .615 3½ GB AL East in April.


Not bad overall considering how great the Warriors did. Still could be better though. Hopefully with Tigris, Nikolo & Peanut coming back next week, we will improve.


Offensively we are good except for that we rank 14th in SO. Pitching side we are good overall and defensively we are really good early on.


May's schedule starts off easy with 2 remaining games vs PON, then 3 vs sub .500 AND. Day off. 3 @ 1st place CC, host CHE for 3 and they are playing well, 4 @ struggling ATS, 4 vs .500 GC, 3 @ last place MAD. day off. 3 @ PAN 3 vs HL, both teams are solid and finish the month with 1 vs struggling SPR.
17-12 worse case.
I am overall happy with the rotation. Getting Peanut back and healthy is key. The pen is great with the exception of my LHP Tiger & Bullfrog. Tiger will go down when Nikolo comes back and wither Baldwin or Shevyakov will go down when Peanut comes back. Bullfrog just needs more IP.

[The Game]

Kennett hasn't been used much as a RP.


Only players that are struggling are Foster, Benz & Kennett.


Oddly Perch is leading the team vs LHP. Humbert is killing RHP.


Kool Kat led the Offense in WAR.

[The Game]

Nokleby led the Pitching in WAR and was named Pitcher of the Month.


Defensively we are solid at all spots except for 2b. I will use Perch at DH more in May with Kat moving to 2b & Juan moving to 3b. Ruiz & Benz will also play.


Middleton is playing well and several players could appear in Delgado at various times. C/P Todd Allen has really improved, Savage could be up by the end of the month, Hopewell could replace Benz or Ruiz on the roster.

[The Game]

New Chicago has some promising players like Lf tony Walker, Cf Joe Conrad, C Israel Kami'kova, P Eddie Cicotte, SP Courtney Tarpein, SP Golden Rule.


Mobile has players that need to improve like 3b Pachelbel Canon, 2b Jordan Capri, C Jerry Timar, SP Tawnee Stone.


When we get to the June draft around 20 Ackbar players will be cut. Cl Jayden Smith is probably the best player.

[The Game]

3 games vs Ravens
13-15 .464 1½ GB AL Central


The Ravens look like they might be in a mini rebuild this season. They made a few moves in the offseason and have many rookies on their roster. They also brought back an old veteran in RP Joe Caine. No longer a SP, which might hurt his HOF chances but he is still a solid P. other new faces are:SS Cha Chi Menezes, a rookie that should be a solid player on both sides of the ball for many years. Cf Vincente Buchanan & Lf Jeff Beatty, 2 rookie OFers that have potential to be stars. C's Felix Randin & Luis Rico. Both played for Woodstock last season and both are inexperienced. Other rookies include 1b Blaine Sanchez, 3b Lou Ewin, 3b Sergio Garcia, SS Sixto Garcia & Lf Manuel Stopparo.



Most of their pitchers are new also.

3 games @ Cloud City
17-12 .586 1st AL West
2-1 vs Thrantas


This will be the final season for Calrissian Place, the home of the Thrantas. They will move in TeAndro Arms Field in 2039, a retractable roof stadium.
So far the Thrantas are enjoying early season success after struggling since they played in the BoE a few seasons ago. They rank 2nd in the AL in HR, 1st in bullpen ERA, 1st in RA.
The AL West is a relatively tough division and the top 4 teams should fight it out for most of the season.

We are on a 5 game winning streak. SP Peanut Johnson, RP Farani Nikolo & Cf Tigris DeGaulle are all back from the IL. P Semyon Shevyakov, RP Tony Tiger & Of Oddvar Duong all have been assigned to Middleton.
