Red Sox Ranked Runner-Up in Preseason Poll in TU East
The Red Bluff Red Sox with 80-year-old Mack Connery at the helm surged from seventh place in 2002 to the top spot in the Tycobbian Union East last season, but they were bumped from the Pro Cup playoffs by the Oxford Red Caps in the Elite 8 round. The Red Sox have good hitting, good power and good pitching and have been voted to take the number two position in the division behind high-scoring High Mesa.

The Red Bluff skipper Mack Connery is celebrating his 62th year in baseball as a player, manager, GM and owner. Connery has signed three rookies for the upcoming season, but none are rated by experts to be impact players. Ray Schiller and A. J. Acuff, both righthanders, will work out of the bullpen in middle relief initially. Darius Castonis will be the third string catcher.

Best Pitchers: LHP Frank Beaudoin (17-8 3.28), LHP Mila Miholski (19-12 3.48), Leonard Urban (11-6 2.99) and All-Star closer LHP John Dougherty (5-4 1.65) with 25 saves in 68 games

Best Hitters: LF Tony Blundell (.318 BA/24 HR/99 RBI/109 R/27 SB), 1B Bucky Frizzell (.293 BA/26 HR/113 RBI/95 R), 2B Tony Borcellino (.237 BA/30 HR/107 RBI/94 R), CF Kris Grabowski (.299 BA/13 HR/46 RBI/45 R) in 103 games, 3B Vern Gable (.279 BA/7 HR/52 RBI/92 R/19 SB)
