LAST SEASONS RECORD:94-68

OUT: Bernard Prince, Bryan Brow

IN: Jonathan Daley, Haywood Bergesen

PREVIEW: Lefty took over this team in season 4 and has turned the Pirates into Winners. They just won their 4th consecutive division crown. With 1 World Series Championship ,Lefty's Pirates wants another. There is no reason for these Pirates to Rape, Pillage and Plunder in the off season. So he let Prince go to free agency(He was a sissy pirate anyways). Then he traded away Bryan "Bushy" Brow . He traded for Bergesen and has yet to assign him. Finally he picked up Daley in the R-5 Draft. This is pretty much the same Pirates that have harassed the rest of the league. Hide the Women and Children when they come to town for Leftys Pirates are a tough bunch. PREDICTION:97-65


Rochester

LAST SEASONS RECORD:84-78

OUT: Christopher Hennessey, Hong-Chih Suzuki, Bartolo Alvarez, Deivi Calderon, Woody Rando

IN: Walt Ganzel, George Downing,Gerald Guerrero, Tom Joyner

PREVIEW: Walsh is in his 3rd year at the helm of Rochester. In the first two years he spent some money in free agency raising his cap 27 million. And so far this team has won , but not like a 110 million dollar team. But being only in his third year Walsh may just be getting this team to his liking. With that in mind The Broncos let Hennessey , Suzuki, Alvarez, Calderon and Woody go to free agency. He then signed free agents Ganzel, Downing, Guerrero and picked up R-5 Joyner. This team has talent and Walsh brought in some more . If they ever Figure it out , they could be dangerous. PREDICTION:87-75




LAST SEASONS RECORD:78-84

OUT: Vin Rojas, Steve Lambert, Joaquin Ordaz, Cliff Jennings, Bartolo Cordero, Benny Cruz

IN: Herman Karl, Woody Rando, Ricardo Sosa, Julio James, Ricardo Guillen, Bernard Fonda

PREVIEW: Russilini hasn't had much luck in his first 6 years. And the Mets fans are restless for a winning season. In the Off-season russilini let Rojas and Lambert go to free agency. Then he released his catching staff( Ordaz ,Jennings). Finally he traded away Cordero and Cruz along with their big contracts. To plug the holes he signed Rando and my ex-Catcher Karl. Russ picked up 2 R-5 players in Sosa and James. Then he traded for Guillen and Fonda. It looks like Russilini is changing philosophies . Lowering his cap and shedding salaries. He will be near .500 and pick up a IFA here or there. PREDICTION: 81-81


Philadelphia
Philadelphia Phillies (NL)

LAST SEASONS RECORD:70-92

OUT: Hub Taylor, Jumbo Herzner, Josh Lawrence, Santos Aguilar, David Pena

IN: Dweezil Blair, Theodore Joyner, Darren Keeler

PREVIEWS: Dennis misses the Glory years of the Phillies. When they won a World Series , 2 Division Titles and appeared in playoffs 4 times in a row. And he went into the offseason with one of the highest payrolls. First he let Taylor and Valentine go to free agency and released Lawrence, Aguillar, Pena. Then he claimed Blair off the wire and signed free agent Joyner. Finally dennis promoted Keeler to shore up his catching corp.This team hasn't showed life fer a long time and nothing in the off-season has made a big impact. But you never know in this game. This team may finally wake up but the smart money says Not. PREDICTION:65-97
