8th - Elnora All-Stars (65-89)
Zoggy White, Manager
Elnora did it again, going from the penthouse in 2006 (2nd) to the outhouse in 2007 (8th), just like they went from first place in 2004 to seventh in 2005... strong contact hitting with a .275 BA (5th), average power with 140 HR (16th), can score runs (728 - 12th), not so good on the mound with a poor 4.19 ERA (22nd) and below average in defense (.970 FA)... the All-Stars have three pretty good starters in Taylor Gibbs (18-14 3.86), All-Star Warren Paul (16-18 3.59), who slumped during the second half of the season, and Matty Wilkerson (11-12 3.34)... two fine hitters in 2B Dmitri Vrotsos (.295/26 HR/112 RBI/67 R) and RF Lloyd Voss (.345/17 HR/80 RBI/101 R)... and two pretty fair performers in SS Allen Black (.260/18 HR/80 RBI/79 R) and CF Rick Mulloy (.297/19 HR/69 RBI/89 R).
