In the WEST: Can Danville's ace pitcher Ross Buchanan rise to the next level and lead Danville to promotion? Or will Santa Barbara's ace, Neil Cassidy get the recognition he is due? Will Khalish Lin repeat as MVP for newcomers, Tombstone? Or will Santa Fe's Haneul Kim take his SIXTH MVP title in a row? Temple's stud prospect Andres Orosco is on the verge of joining the big squad. Will he pan out or be the next big bust? In Kaneohe, can former stud Ken Brett return to Cy Young form for their troubled franchise? In the EAST: Early season favorites, Bronx, are placing a heap of faith on ROTY winner "El Gordo" Arellano? Will he justify pre-season hype? In Chicopee, Walt Scalise looks to regain Cy Young form and dominate, can he? Can Camden's star, Norm Knight, pull off one more amazing season and help his team promote? Are Wingrove Lake's hopes in journeyman, Nicholas Rose, going to payoff? Can youngster, Benito Bello make Mobile's big squad? And make a difference? In Lexana, ageing veteran, Adrian Wallace is seeking his fifth Cy Young. Can he earn it and Lexana promote?

Three pitchers, all projected starters for the major league roster, have been struck with significant injuries in spring training. Yamato Matsumoto was knocked out for two weeks and both Miguel Beltran and Francis Montovani landed on the 21-day DL. This troubling development sparked a team investigation and evidence was found that the Zombie's team trainer, Zach Mulder, was a college roommate with Colton Welch .... currently manager of the Bronx Athletics. The league is investigating. Since neither team can comment during the inquiry, we are left to speculate. Could Colton conspire, consider and connive a criminal catastrophe? We will remain patient, even as the mob outside league offices grows larger and larger. Are the Athletics this afraid? Time will tell. Updated Thursday, March 2 2017 @ 1:37:24 am PST

Scalise has been super strong against lefties, other than that is there really many good pitchers..? About 4 good batters are key players: Porter, Song, Whiter, Callahan... Camden: last season relegated from Div4 with 71-89 record. Macaluso (skill index 122) being the key batter. Few really strong pitchers also, interesting to see how they play this year. Wingrove Lake: Last season 2nd, the owner has been there since feb 2013. Lefties Nagel and Matthews are the strongest batters. Quite young batting department.. Good pitching also. Fallows is packed with some serious skills but look how bad he has been underachieving. Where do Crowley sit, starter of relief? Mobile: last season managed to hold on to div 5 but this year, so long. Will be relegated. Lenexa: Rightie batting dangerous offense, Defese at least mediocre or better, few good pitchers but not too many. Relief bench looks ok. Wallace might not be in top two starters any more. Bronx: u tell me. Last time in Div 5 was shocking. I lead the league in mid season, then i just couldnt win games. I lost the last relegation-deciding game after leading it... I almost cried. Now, after one more frustrating season in Div 6 where there was no competition whatsoever, i will do every thing to keep up with good consistency, taking care of management, ending in top 3.
