Sun Sox Will Not Shine in 2004, Forecast Is Cloudy
Manager Charley Oscar says his Southport Sun Sox are going to have to go through the throes of a rebuilding stage. During the expansion season in 2002 the Sun Sox surprised with a third place finish, going 78-76. Last year the pitching went into a tailspin and Southport plummeted to seventh with a 70-84 mark. If the BNN baseball gurus are right, then it will be more of the same in 2004. The Sun Sox were picked to end up seventh again in the TU South.

Oscar has added four rookies to his roster. Two of them, southpaw Nero Scolari and knuckleballer Tommy McQuilkin, will get regular duty in the starting rotation. RF Duane Hilburn will be the Sun Sox rightfielder, adding defense, speed and a little pop to the line-up.

Best Pitchers: LHP John Colasanti (10-5 3.18) and Paul Grange (6-6 3.30)

Top Bats: 1B Pat Mystryk (.298 BA/30 HR/91 RBI/101 R), 3B James Bagwell (.305 BA/24 HR/96 RBI), CF Rich Crowley (.316 BA/17 HR/92 RBI/84 R/16 SB) and LF Angelo Lombardi (.297 BA/16 HR/84 RBI/79 R)
