North America Central

Austin Armadillos, 362-286, .559
On the field: Above .500 every year, made the playoffs in 2000 and 2002. Advanced to LCS in 2002 but was beaten 5 games to 1 by Calgary.
Top Player in Team History: SS William Snodgrass. Had first 40 HR/40 SB season in league history in 2003. In the league’s Top 20 careerwise in hits, homers, RBI, and steals and is still only 27.
Finances: Poor, made a run at it this year with $90 million+ payroll but only 13th in attendance and not much of that salary comes off the books.
2003 Record: 94-68, 2nd
Minor League System: 32nd (last), nothing unless you count a 25-year old 1B who hit .213 in AA who is listed as their top prospect.

Mexico City Aguilas, 352-296, .543
On the field: The Aguilas were the class of the division the first 2 seasons, winning the division crown and advancing to the LCS before losing to Portland in 2000 and Calgary in 2001. They were losing money though and were forced to cut payroll and have finished under .500 the past 2 seasons.
Top Player in Team History: 1B Pedro “Dynamite” Posada. Huge (6’7”, 230) power hitter, averaged 41 HR and 145 RBI between ’00 and ’02 before tailing off this year at 37 years old.
Finances: On the surface, awful, as they will lose $10 million + for the 3rd time in 4 years. However, 8 of their top 12 guys in salary will be free agents, most of them over the age of 35 so there is some relief there
2003 Record: 79-83, 3rd
Minor League System: 27th, 2B Jose Nevarez, 23 (4th Round Pick in 03, .318, 13, 45 at Single-A)

San Antonio Cocks, 285-363, .440
On the field: After arguably being the worst team in the league for 3 years the Cocks more than doubled their win total from the previous year going from 51-111 to 108-54. Every offensive starter is under 30 and relatively cheap. They did lose in the Divisional Series to Calgary.
Top Player in Team History: Considering their first 3 years were so forgettable we’ll go with this season’s sure-to-be Rookie of the Year, CF Aquila Poderoso. He only hit .327 with 39 HR and 136 RBI and he’s just 23.
Finances: After hoarding large profits the first 3 seasons, the Cocks are set up well for the future. At least until the young studs (and there are many) come looking for their payday.
2003 Record: 108-54, 1st
Minor League System: 1st, the rich get richer. Aside from Poderoso, there is RF Wesley “Captain” Hook who hit .314 with 22 HR and 105 RBI in his rookie season. They also have several young SPs with ace potential.

Guadalajara Fightin’ Monks, 282-366, .435
On the field: They have gone from mediocre to just plain bad, progressively getting worse each season from 83 wins the 1st season to 59 this year. They do have some young talent that should help in the future.
Top Player in Team History: A name before my time, SS/3B James Tillman. Played 2000 and 2001 with the Monks before being dealt to Buenos Aires. Hit 90 homers in those 2 seasons. Has since retired.
Finances: Low support, low income, low payroll. Still profitable though and could add some decent free agents to go with their young players. Could be a team on the rise.
2003 Record: 54-108, 5th
Minor League System: 5th, SP Barrett Shoe, 19 (17-9, 3.94, 172 K in 221.2 IP split between A and AA).

New Orleans Pelicans, 274-374, .423
On the field: Worst record in the NA over the first 4 seasons. Best season was 74-88 in 2001 but then slipped to 64-98 the following year. Yet to lose 100 in a season though and they do have some nice prospects on the way up.
Top Player in Team History: Not many choices but it would have to be SP Benny Frisina. He was signed from Rio prior to 2001 and was a great pitcher who suffered from being on a bad team. He was traded to Caracas at the trade deadline this year and sports a career 56-32 record and 2.72 ERA.
Finances: Tough situation. They have the lowest payroll in the league but still are not overly profitable because they have the lowest fan interest in the league.
2003 Record: 67-95, 4th
Minor League System: 10th, 1B Pat “The Bat” Stansberry (.301, 16, 76 between AA, AAA, and a month in the bigs).
