BNN Forecasts 6th Place Finish For San Dimas in RU South
According to the BNN pollsters the San Dimas Rancheros are headed for another sixth place finish in the Ruthlandian Union South race. The Rancheros have been sixth in the standings for their first two seasons with not much of a chance of getting higher or lower. With pathetic teams like the Grand City Cybercats and the Crystal Lake Crushers in the division, manager Paco Banderos probably won't have to worry about ending any worse.
San Dimas will welcome many new faces to the clubhouse this season. 7 rookies have made the roster with pitchers Bobby Prince, a lefty, and Shane Rymer in the rotation at closer and #5 starter respectively. Banderos will have a new highly-touted center fielder in Dennis Jones. who is fast on the base paths, swings a good contact bat and ranges far and wide in the field, but doesn't hit for power.
Top Pitchers: Zippy Hodge (10-9 3.34), Wayne Mallard (14-15 3.97) and Lowell Wall (9-13 3.66)
Top Hitters: Gold Glove 2B Cyclone Cobb (.272 BA/2 HR/39 RBI/82 R/95 SB), 3B Domingo Rios (.291 BA/24 HR/74 RBI/91 R), LF-RF Fernando Baldera (.295 BA/18 HR/68 RBI), C John Wesley Ewing (.303 BA/9 HR/65 RBI) and SS Russ Russell (.274 BA/18 HR/88 RBI)
