First, here are the GL awards and All-Stars for 2001:
Obviously, in such a young league there aren't as many transactions as there eventually will be. Still, a number did occur, with Jose Mendez (Jalisco), Frank Robinson (León), Aaron Judge (Tijuana), Ken Griffey Jr. (Tabasco), Eric Davis (Puebla) and Triston Casas (León) among those who signed long-term extensions and Fernando Tatis sr and Telosh Howard (both with Tijuana), Jesse Houston (Puebla) and Bert Hunter (Chihuahua) the notable FA adds.
As at OD 2002, Quintana Roo's Ronald Acuña jr is the GL's top prospect, with Chihuahua's farm system #1.
The top-rated players are C Heavy Johnson of Yucatan and Durango P Willie Spearman.
As far as the upcoming season is concerned, the all-knowing analysts favour the following clubs:
- NOR SIERRA: Monclova 90-72 by 4 from Tijuana and Union Laguna
- NOR DESIERTO: Chihuahua 83-79 by 2 from Jalisco
- SUR CENTRAL: Veracruz 96-66 by 1 from Mexico City
- SUR MAYA: Quintana Roo 89-73 by 2 from Yucatan
Plenty of excitement in store if they are to be believed!
