Here Comes The Paragon Baseball League!

[luckymann]

By Nik Hill

If the New Jersey Stallions are to see playoff action this season - and, at 64-54 and just 3 games back of Boston, there is a fair chance of this happening - then you'd have to think a lot of the credit for it will go to the two men whom some rag wag - OK, it was me - has started calling Jersey Family Robinson.

It is hard to imagine two baseball players with personalities as dissimilar as Frank Robinson and Robinson Cano.

Frank is a sombre and serene type, almost like some sort of baseball Zen Master - so much so that his nickname is "The Judge".

Robinson, on the other hand... well let me put it this way. There were less ornate showboats ferrying people up and down the Mississippi in the time when Samuel Clemens decided to start calling himself Mark Twain and put pen to paper.

And yet, from all reports, the two men are incredibly close teammates, rooming together on road trips and living just a few streets away from each other in Asbury Park, NJ.

Go figure.

Whatever the case, they certainly do seem to enjoy playing on the same team.

Frank - who is usually stationed in left field but can also play right and first - is some chance to win the Northwest League MVP this year. His 26 home runs lead the PBL, and he is third in the NW with 90 RBI.

Robinson, who holds down 2B and bats ahead of Frank in the clean-up spot, only trails his good friend in those two categories for the Stallions with 14 and 78 respectively, along with 28 doubles.

Along with George Sister, Honus Wagner and Cristobal Torriente, the top five in the Stallions line-up is as good as any in the league, and it comes as no surprise that New Jersey ranks first in the NW for team HR (85), second in team OPS (731), and third in both team BA (273) and OBP (326).

If anything, I believe this side has another gear it is yet to find this season, and will really give the Beacons and Colonials a run for their money over the final 50 games of the season.

With the Robinsons of Jersey sure to be right in the midst of it.

Still plenty of development left for some of these guys, but yes this league will find you out if you're not up to it.
