Baseball is back!

We start Spring Training tomorrow and the Cougars will fill all 60 spots in camp. I will do individual reports for each position group and explain any battles that may be going on.

Our spring schedule is very simple, as we play a sequence all spring. We play all seven of our Continental Association rivals in the following order: Kings, Foresters, Wolves, Sailors, Stars, Cannons, Saints. We play the Kings, Foresters, and Wolves four times, the other three teams just three. I have turned off 7-Day Lineups and will let my manager have full control over the depth chart (I set the lineups and pitching staff) so he can ensure everyone is getting playing time.

A lot of new faces entered camp this spring, but this will be the 24th time for Cougar legend John Dibblee. The team has found a long term replacement for Dibblee in Vince York, so he won't see nearly as many at bats as he has in the past.

Speaking of new faces, there was a different aura in Cougar camp this year then years' past. Last year they added a few new players, but nothing like this year. Cougar fans are elated to see the return of Steve Castellini as well as one of the leagues youngest stars Tom Taylor. Once the Spring starts, every team has that hope that this year could be the year. And perhaps for Chicago, 1931 could be theirs.
