5. SAN ALEJO (92-63): the Monties have been a contender for the last 15 years, winning the TU South in '49... prior to that, it was '37... the Montaneros only Pro Cup trophy came in '32, when they edged the Colfax Blasters in seven games... they possess very good offense (5th in scoring) and solid pitching... at the plate the standouts are superstar CF and All-Star Paulo Teixeira (.315/37/104/116), star and All-Star 1B Royce Grantham (.292/25/98/112), RF Erik Landau (.283/9/55/98) and SS Sal McAllister (.287/7/86/62... just two years ago Grantham was named the Tycobbian MVP and won the Golden Bat Award... however, the two most important players are superstar starters and All-Star Will McKinney (29-3/1.68) and Matt Bell (24-14/2.94)... McKinney had one of the greatest seasons ever the annals of the IPA... his 29th win came in the championship game, a 9-3 victory for him... San Alejo will be a force in the postseason, but they need to get a third starter, which was missing in the regular season... the bullpen is not very good, either.
