Preseason Predictions

Time to see once again who will make their mark for this year. Will Boston repeat? Does Troy have what it takes to stay in the hunt all season.
Will Worcester bounce aback from a dismal 1881 season? Stay tuned to find out.

May 7th 1882 Update

One of the two expansion teams is doing well. Baltimore is being led by rookie Bill Geiss. Louisville, on the other hand, is 0-11 out of the gate.
They hope not to repeat what the Washington Nationals did in 1872. Worcester is struggling once again, the only bright spots thus far are
Deacon White hitting .400 and a lone Frank Mountain shut out.
