Somewhat amazing that the #1 on the list (Skip Adams) only made the hall of fame 3 seasons ago. I guess that is what he gets for playing most of his career during the FOOL dark ages.

I am surprised there aren't more Hammersmith/Atlanta pitchers there, given how often we had top end pitchers. But then, I often had guys who were better at getting outs than getting strikeouts, I think.
Interesting list. I wouldn't have guessed Skip Adams at the top of that with a hundred chances.

This looks to be a very tight RL race, just like last season. It seems like rebuilding Brunswick is the only one that you can reasonably count out.
The Hooligans returns a very similar squad to last season. The six-headed rotation returns. Last year, I split the fifth spot between Bell and Lopez, both rookies. IMO, they have both passed up pitchers who had been starting, so now they will take their full turns. Pacheco drops to a key pen roll, which I hope he'll really take to. Once again, it will be pitching that gets me to the postseason, if that's what happens. The pen is a bit weaker. We let Villa and Bayer go. Pacheco helps, and we had some depth, so I don't know if there's going to be too much drop off, but it's sometimes hard to tell with bullpens. My lineup went trhough much less changes this offseason than last. We let Alvarez (starting 3B for one year) go to free agency, as well as platoon C Buddy. We bring in Espinoza and Suzuki at those spots, and I actually think they are slight upgrades in both cases. Last year's break in SS Rodriguez is one year improved in his stats and I expect a stronger year from him offensively. Otherwise, it's essentially the same lineup. Not a juggernaut, but a solid and productive lineup. Toronto ran way with the division title last year, and Colorado had, statistically, a better team than I had last year. The ratings say both are still strong. Toss in past regular division champ Ann Arbor and maybe the best pitcher in baseball, and the RL's going to be a toss up. Chico and Hartford seem very solid as well, although that's a lot of top teams to climb past. In the end, though, aren't we just sacrificing our champion at the altar of Napa Valley? Teach's acquisition of Perez gives her a muns-like rotation. Scary stuff. Good luck to everyone tonight.

I think Napa Valley has some question marks. Tony Perez will turn 33 this season and is clearly not the same pitcher he was at age 29. There will be some continued fall off this year as his pitches lose velocity. The big question for him is how quickly will he fade? Will it be noticeable this season or wait another year? The promising thing for Napa though is even with a fade, Perez is still better than most pitchers, including Merritt whom he will be effectively replacing in the rotation, so that definitely counts as an upgrade. One additional question is if the bullpen will still hold up with the loss of Martinez. He didn't have any flashy numbers, but Martinez was a big part of the best bullpen in baseball last season. Don't let the 6 losses make you look at him the wrong way, he was extremely solid. If anyone can stand losing him from their bullpen though, it is the Winemakers. Even though I think the Winemakers have the best talent, it still is no lock that they even make the playoffs. Baltimore has a pitching staff that is close to them and a better lineup. Tokyo also has a comparable lineup and a solid pitching staff. Even Georgia can make a splash if they get some hitting from -somewhere- as their pitching is also nothing to laugh at. We've all seen teams perform well below expected records with -10 pyths, and neither league has a team that can win 10 games less than expected and get away with it this season. |

I'm excited for the rebirth of the Boston Settlers as this is a turning point in this struggling franchise for the past half a century. We have some good young ball players coming up in the next year or so.

Good luck Chief and everyone else. Great report! Most of my staff is returning a year older. NOt sure how good or bad that is. The offense is the same. Maybe a little better. The pitchers are always a question mark. Same starting staff except for the 5th. The relievers are the ? this year. Some great enders. The middle staff I"m not sure of. GOOD LUCK ALL! |

Chico's Hudson Gets 3000th Hit
Tuesday, April 15th, 2087: The day belonged to Dave Hudson of the Chico Rebels as he became the latest player to reach the 3000-hit plateau. He did it in Chico's 13-12 win over Toronto. "It's a moment I'll never forget," said Hudson after the game, "3000 hits is a lot. It puts you in a very select group. I never expected to be around long enough to reach a milestone like this." He finished the day with 3 hits in 7 at-bats. Lifetime Hudson is batting .321 and has totaled 143 home runs. |

Tsuchiya Tags Number 300
Tuesday, May 27th, 2087: He has done it! Takiji Tsuchiya has reached the 300 home run mark. He did it today, but the Apex Assassins still dropped the game to the Napa Valley Winemakers by the score of 7-6. "Number 300 was hard to come by. I think the pressure was getting to me a little bit. I got a call a few days ago from a couple of guys that have been through this and they just said, 'Keep going, have some fun. Just be you.' I think that helped me a little bit, having those guys make a call to me and try to settle some of the nerves down." On his historic day Tsuchiya was 1-5 with 1 RBI and 1 run scored. Over his career Tsuchiya has batted .293 and collected 2670 hits, 300 home runs and 1245 RBIs. |

Bedeschi has made 13 starts, tossed 87.1 innings, struck out 78 batters and walked 25. His record is 10-0 with a 2.06 ERA and he has limited other teams to a .212 batting average.

Yes, you read that correctly. Delgado has a 1.19 ERA but still is only .500 winning pct with a 4-4 record!
Of course with a BABIP of .189, I can't imaging him keeping that 1.19 ERA all season. |

Chico Rookie Hits His Way to RL Honor
Sunday, June 1st, 2087: Youngster David Ramos emerged as the latest Republic League Rookie of the Month today. The young man from Chico deserved the honor, batting .350 with 4 home runs and 21 RBI. Is the month of May a harbinger of things to come or just a fluke? We'll find out someday, but for now, we'll just let Ramos enjoy the limelight. For the year Ramos is batting .326 with 10 home runs, 32 RBIs and 36 runs scored. CL Selects Rookie Star of the Month Sunday, June 1st, 2087: Miguel Rijo is still a bit shy, but then, who could blame the newest Continental League Rookie of the Month honoree? He hasn't been around the league long enough to fully know the ropes yet, despite the fact that he's putting up veteran-like numbers. In May the Napa Valley hitter tagged opposing pitching for a .358 average with 38 hits, 5 home runs and 13 RBIs. This year Rijo is batting .282 with 8 home runs. |

RL's Premier Starter is Border
Tuesday, July 1st, 2087: Sean Border nailed down June's Republic League Pitcher of the Month award today, adding pressure on Hammersmith to get a deal done before the 28-year-old becomes a free agent. Border seems unfazed by the talk. "We get a deal done or we don't," he told reporters, "I'm not worrying about next year. Worrying about next year isn't what wins awards, you know?" He fashioned a 4-1 record, reeled off 37 strikeouts, worked 41 innings and held batters to a .242 average for the month as he posted a 2.63 ERA. So far this year Border has made 16 starts, tossed 101.2 innings, struck out 84 batters and walked 10. His record is 8-5 with a 3.54 ERA and he has limited opposing teams to a .273 batting average. Nakano Stands Out, Choice for Best Pitcher Tuesday, July 1st, 2087: Yoshimatsu Nakano had an outstanding June -- so good that the Continental League presented him with the Pitcher of the Month Award earlier today. "There's no way to know where the Winemakers would be without Nakano," one fan is quoted as saying. In June Nakano dominated the competition, running up a 4-1 record, a 2.63 ERA and 30 strikeouts in 37.2 innings. On the season Nakano has a 10-4 record with a 2.50 ERA. |

RL's Best Batter Picked
Tuesday, July 1st, 2087: In June, Théo Dubé was the toughest out in the Republic League and that is the prime reason he was voted the Batter of the Month. The Chico center fielder rapped out 37 hits in 95 at-bats for a .389 batting average, hit 5 home runs, drove in 21 runs and scored 20 times. This season Dubé is batting .340 with 12 home runs. CL Honors Terry, Best Hitter in June Tuesday, July 1st, 2087: A hot-hitting Randy Terry punished CL pitchers in June, hitting .301 in 24 games while racking up 13 home runs, 22 RBIs and 20 runs scored. With those numbers it came as no surprise that Napa Valley's 28-year-old first baseman earned Continental League Batter of the Month honors. Terry is hitting .237 so far this season with 58 RBIs and 40 runs scored. He has 65 hits including 22 home runs, 24 walks and .308 OBP. |

RL Announces Rookie of the Month
Tuesday, July 1st, 2087: A veritable toddler to the Republic League, David Ramos just sewed up the Rookie of the Month trophy for June. Over the past month the 25-year-old right fielder for Chico hit .344 with 32 hits, 4 home runs and 16 RBI. He also logged 4 walks and compiled a .408 on-base percentage.

Napa Valley Right Fielder June's Best Rookie Tuesday, July 1st, 2087: Miguel Rijo earned June's Rookie of the Month honors in the Continental League for last month's performance. The boyish Napa Valley right fielder might be wet behind the ears, but he's proving that he has what it takes to play at this level. Rijo hit .315 with 2 home runs, 10 RBIs and 15 runs scored this past month on his way to winning the award. In 74 games this year Rijo has posted a .293 average and put up these numbers: 10 home runs, 30 RBIs and 43 runs scored. |

Nemoto Hurls Rancheros to Shutout Victory
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2087: Tetsu Nemoto was sneaky fast, on the mark and hard to hit today. He blanked the Hartford Harpooners 4-0 on 3 hits and had 3 walks and 8 strikeouts. "You know what he's going to throw. You know what to expect. And you still can't hit it," the Hartford skipper told reporters after the shutout loss to the Colorado Rancheros. "He just had a real deceiving fastball today and he was throwing it for strikes." This season Nemoto has a 5-4 record with a 5.16 ERA in 16 starts. |
