Season 19 Preview - AL South

Cyclone put together a pretty good team last year and earned a 3 seed in the AL. After winning their first series, they got dropped by KC in the Divisional Series. On offense, the team made very few changes and will continue to produce at a very high level. On the pitching side, Larry Sherman was the only pick up.

The Braves have a window at this point to win their next championship. Can they get number three this year? They have a very good chance.

Mitchdog’s rebuild is nearly complete. The starting rotation is suddenly very solid and ready to take a big step forward. Snagging Norm Gibson was a good move, and Chad Jordan should help as well. Some of the younger sluggers are now a year older and should contribute more. They might, and this is a big maybe, catch Richmond. In the long run they are built solid. The only concern is defense. For all the pitching, it only matters so much if you don’t have a defense.

CC had a tough off season for with the Knights. Their #14 ranked offense lost Rincoln, Singleton, and Cueto in the off-season. The pitching staff remains largely unchained, while the defense is still weak.

Nothing in the cupboard as far as pitching for mytitan and the Suns. They lost their best offensive weapon,  Alex Castillo, who is gone for most of the year. Other than that, Jacksonville remains largely unchanged. Which isn’t a good thing.
