Spring Training has ended and the regular season of the 1968 WPK season has begun.
The pre-season predictions were released recently and they indicate the Denver Brewers will gain almost no ground in the upcoming season, in spite of making some big off-season moves. The Brewers management team has voiced skepticism about this and publicly voice confidence that the team will be better than prognosticators think, but in private there are reportedly some members of the front office who admit that the under-powered offense does concern them.
(It should be noted that these pre-season predictions indicate a very pitching rich environment. The day before opening day I adjusted, or thought I had adjusted, the statistical modifiers of the league to MLB 1973 numbers. Something seems to have gone wrong and they reverted to, I believe, 1968 numbers. I tried adjusting again prior to any games being played on opening day but I can't be sure yet what the results will be. So these may be pretty flawed predictions or this might be another year of the pitcher in the WPK. Time will tell.)
