8th Place: Cape Coral Hurricanes (60-94) (27 GB)
Outlook: the 'Canes can certainly hit the ball with a .283 average... they can score runs better-than-average... and they have decent home-run power with 126 roundtrippers... but they can't get anybody out... Cape Coral has the worst starting rotation in the IPA with a 5.13 ERA... and they are just about the worst team defensively (.970 FA)... consequently, the Hurricanes came in dead last in the TU South... the last time the Hurricanes won a pennant was in 2041... they have just been a lackluster team for the last two decades... about half the time they finished with a .500 or better mark, playing middle-of-the-park baseball.
Historically Cape Coral has made eight postseason appearances, but they have never won a Pro Cup... the 'Canes usually lost in the early rounds... but four times they were beaten by the eventual Pro Cup winner... Turon knocked them out in '03 and '06... Blue Lake whipped them in '30... and North Hills got the best of Cape Coral in '41.
