Claxton and Far Mountain have better scoring and better bullpens... but Marston can compete with them.
Marston hits very well for average (.285 BA)... but doesn't have a lot of power (95 HR)... that will hurt them in the playoffs... they do have 4 fine starters, but are weak in the bullpen... defense is their shortcoming (.973 FA)... league average is .978 FA.
Marston's pitching may be as good as Sligo's... and the Nine hit much better than the Rovers... Marston could be favored in the first round... and just might give Claxton some trouble in the RU title series.
I don't think Marston can whip Claxton or Far Mountain.

Yeah, Marston is the ultimate underdog team for me. For them to get to the championship series, everything will have to go right; timely hitting, some guys pitching the games of their careers.
Rolling Hills is seriously flawed, too. That makes them a fun a follow, too.
