LAST SEASON: 110-52

OUT: Enrique Diaz, Kareem Maduro, Sammy Rosa, Benny Ramirez, Wes Sierra, Matty Lackey, Benny Sosa

IN: Al Segui, Bobby Stone, Chad Keisler

PREVIEW: Douglasdao has left this team to take over the Toledo Mudhens in the Stargell/Monument Park League. He left a stout team that has won the last 5 division titles. Rcabers bought this team for 3 FEMA trailers and a truckload of ice. Then moved into his new offices at the Mall of the Americas. Rcabers let 7 players go to free agency including Type-A Enrique Diaz. He brought in Free Agents Segui, Stone and Keisler. This is rcabers first HBD season and he has started with a nice team. But as you know this game takes alot of trial and error. Hopefully the errors will be few and the trial will be brief. PREDICTION:90-72




LAST SEASON:87-75

OUT: Dan Guiel, Octavio Torres

IN: Angel Borges, Kevin Phillips

PREVIEW: Dimestoregin finally made it back to the playoffs last year. And he tore thru the #3 and #2 seeds in the post-season and lost to the Champs in the LCS ...no shame in that. In the offseason dimestoregin let Pitcher Guiel and SS Torres leave the team. He signed free agent SS Borges and picked up R-5  Phillips. Looks like Dime is happy with his roster and he brought in a couple of defensive bench players. If this team gets in the playoffs they may go all the way this time. PREDICTION:85-77


Milwaukee
Milwaukee Brewers (AL)

LAST SEASON: 82-80

OUT: Alex Porzio, Edwin Bukvich, Rickey Wood

IN: Alfredo Velazquez, Matty Lackey, Domingo Romero

PREVIEW: Brentcnb is in his 4th year .And last season this team showed some signs of life by finishing above .500. Now the Millwaukee fans want the next step by playing in the post season. Brent went into the offseason by letting Porzio, Bukvich and Wood leave the team. He brought in free agents Lackey and Velazquez who had a great career in my Minor leagues. Then he picked up a R-5 Player (Romero). This is a very young team with only 2 players over 30. They also have some great talent in AAA waiting to mature . If this team continues to get bettter they may contend for the division in a couple of years. PREDICTION:85-77


Chicago
Chicago White Sox (AL)

LAST SEASON:73-89

OUT: Odalis Santana, Alex Felix

IN: Charlie Valentin, Robert Thomas, Jeff Lieber, Sticky Houck,Storm Glanville

PREVIEW: Dmann2158 spent 6 seasons trying to get this team to produce. But they never really believed in him. He was last seen shouting "repent ye sinners the end is Near". Ace1430 bought this team for a one-way ticket to the Yucatan and a map to a Mayan Temple. The first thing Ace did was increase his cap by 30 million.You would think he was gonna spend a fortune in free agency but he picked up 5 players spending only 13 million. With a 52 million surplus it looks like Ace will pick up some expensive contracts later this season.Or transfer money to IFA's and pick up some tasty Prospects. PREDICTION:75-87 as of now
