FTB Defenders Have A Long Way To Go In RU West
Skipper Robbie Brooks made progress last season in the Ruthlandian Union West, but still ended up last. The Fort Benton Defenders improved vastly from 56-98 in 2002 to 70-84 last year, but still have a ways to go even to contend for a playoff spot. All predictions indicate another season near the bottom of the division.

Brooks has added two new pitchers and four position players, but none of them look like impact players, although all of them will get an opportunity to win a regular job. The best of the lot is LF Carl McCord, a speedy outfielder with some punch and and a quality hitter. Armando Vega will get a good shot in the starting rotation as a rookie.

Best Pitchers: Erv Gunderson (8-13 3.02)

Best Batters: C Irv Small (.262 BA/22 HR/90 RBI) and RF Murph Lunsford (.282 BA/19 HR/75 RBI)
