Meet the Teams: Saffron Turtles



If you want to combine the island and big city lifestyle then there's no more perfect place to do that than Saffron. Previously you could only reach the island via the ferry but the newly installed railway bridge means you could be in the CBD in 20 minutes.

Some think that's amazing. Others aren't so sure.

The Saffron life attracts a particular sort: artist communities, little family farms, and mini brewing operations populate the island.

The Turtles are owned by Danny Blind, owner of the Amelia Daily Times, which also lends its name to the team's stadium: Amelia Daily Times Park. The Park, situated next to the water proves to be a particularly difficult park to get home runs.



BEST POSITION PLAYER: Valentin Folgan




Folgan is the best contact hitter in the league and looks set to be a critical component to the success of the Turtles.

BEST PITCHER: Adam Scoles




Two relievers in a row? Is that allowed? I'll check but in the mean time, Scoles is a young reliever with a devastating changeup that'll leave all batters a bit flummoxed. He's going to get a lot of ground balls and has the ability to keep the ball in the park so we hope he's got some good defenders behind him!
