I successfully accidentally deleted my AAA league when intending to delete the APL (congrats, the APL got promoted for my test sim!).

I also forgot to expand the league until the day before the rookie draft. That resulted in the expansion draft happening after the rookie draft.


The good news is that everything seems to be working much better! That is the most important takeaway. I will sim a little more and then start moving into setting up the 2318 offseason matters more. I am busy until May 8 with end of the semester business, but I will always squeeze in CBO time! If I can help it, my weekends will not be busy just because I will probably not work!

Glad things are working better! And hope the end of the semester isn't too chaotic!

Does the expansion part now mean they don't have picks for the first season?

Thanks. Only as chaotic as I allow it to be. I need to remember to prepare all of my late policies for replies to student emails because I will inevitably receive 20 emails about people who "care about [their] education" yet who never opened assignment instructions and now want to make it all up.

I actually added them either the day of or the day before, so the expansion teams did get picks in the rookie draft. In the real setup, though, I want teams to know what they lost and need, so I will make sure the expansion draft happens in October for the real run.

I ended up simming to 2340. I also noticed that I am eating up my hard drive space fast, so I am going to look at a few things that happened, like The Slog winning five or six seasons in a row, and see what else needs tweaking. Then, goodbye large 2+ GB save folders!

CBO Celebrates New Year

The CBO is celebrating the new year with a lot of adjustments in preparation for the second expansion of the CBO. Commissioner Jason LaRue has indicated that he thinks this will be the last for awhile, with the expectation that the league may eventually expand out instead of adding more teams. We have the alignments and uniforms modeled at the end of this update.

In this update, we want to take a look at the realignment along with new teams in each league. Some of the minor teams have reaffiliated as well as moved up or down in league level based on LaRue's census report that determined settlement/township populations.

NEBL

Not only did the NEBL change some teams, but the divisions will be named differently in 2319. The Patriot League will be made up of the Stars and Stripes division, while the Yankee League will be made up of the Old Glory and USA divisions.

Some teams joining the league include the:
Cranston Boomers
Greenwich Grays
Lawrence Revolution
Pawtucket Pips
Portland Pops
West Hartford Alphas

Diamond City said a tearful goodbye to the town of Natick, its top minor league team throughout the history of the minors. As part of the expansion, some cities were a part of the sale. Cape Cod's team will be the affiliate, starting in 2320, so the town of Natick gets only a one-year break from being a baseball town.

MML

Of the 28 teams, 13 are new to the league:
Attleboro Mongrels
Beverly Beverages
Brookline Bandoliers
Capital City Conquerors
Chicopee Vans
East Providence Townies
Everett Mutant Hounds
Methuen Spy Hunters
Middletown Sextants
Milford Mole Rats
Wallingford Elis
West Haven Demos
Weymouth Cannibals

The other members' towns voted on division names and decided to keep the divisional names as pre-War Boston legends: Boggs, Murtagh, Williams, and Yastrzemski.

BMU

The BMU is the original minor league of the CBO. Members have changed but like the traditional division names: Dark Hollow Pond, Cambridge, Downtown Boston, and Glowing Sea. No, they no longer make regional sense, but the league loves the memorabilia. The Dark Hollow Pond name has long been popular, and the CBO will not allow a team to adopt that as a location or team name.

For changes, well, there are a bunch this season. Teams added to the league are:
Bangor Fort Knights
Brunswick Brainiacs
Clifton Vertibirds
Cumberland Convicts
Danvers Sonics
Dedham Bombers
Enfield Rugs
Fitchburg Finches
Greenfield Disciples
Pittsfield Trolleys
Shelton Hitters
Shrewsbury Cosmos
Southington Handies
Watertown Armorers
Westfield Gun Fu
Woonsocket Butchers

GBRL

The GBRL made wholesale changes in anticipation of even more changes as 15 of the 16 named teams from the Nuka World League and Vim! League (except Far Harbor) will join the GBRL in 2320 with more changes coming at that time.

For now, not only did some teams change, but the associations and divisions have all changed names. There will be the Heroes and Saviors leagues hosting the Danse, Howard, Garvey, and Desdemona divisions.

New teams include:
Abernathy Adamantium
Eastlake Aquaboys
Graygarden Action Boys
Haverhill Grooms
Mystic Pines Raybathers
Sandy Coves Freaks
Somerville Place Jets
Tenpines Bluff Manta Men
Trumbull Glow Sox

College Season Preseason Begins

The 2319 collegiate season is set to begin in just over a month. We are featuring here the changes and newcomers. There are now 98 collegiate teams with 24 making the playoffs, from the Play-in Round to the final two of the College Series.

Tufts University is the defending champions, downing the New Hampshire State Giants. While still talented, the Jumbos lost several key people, including #1 overall pick, 1B Bear Jones, both the College Series MVP and Top Collegiate Hitter.

There are 10 new teams:
Mitchell College Mariners (ASC)
Olin College of Engineering Phoenix (MCC)
Brandeis Judges (MCC)
Bowdoin College Polar Bears (NEAC)
Husson Eagles (NEAC)
Emerson Lions (Independents)
Norwich Cadets (Independents)
New England College Pilgrims (Independents)
Trinity College Bantams (Independents)
Colby College Mules (Independents)

The only other change was the U.S. Coast Guard Academy moving from the Independents to the Atlantic Sound Conference, making that conference the largest with 14 teams. CBO Commissioner Jason LaRue has indicated that the plan is to continue building the CCBL but that a total of 128 teams would be the maximum in a well-balanced design.

The make up of each conference appears at the end of this update.

Freshmen to Watch

SS Top Dog Fowler, UMass - Fowler enters the college ranks as the top collegiate middle infielder. Scouts love his ability to be a patient hitter and drive the ball where outfielders are not. Some have questions about his attitude, with a few concerned that he must be with a winner to be happy. His arm is really good, meaning he is likely to stay at SS at this level.

SP Stumpy Gilmore, Quinnipiac - Gilmore gets his nickname for being short throughout his early years. He grew but is a bit undersized at 5/10". Still, he has a durable arm that relies on his knuckleball to fool hitters. Scouts believe that his great potential for control and developing his knuckleball into an elite pitch will help him to become a future ace.

LF Mackie Braveheart, Rivier - Braveheart may be the elite hitter of incoming freshmen. Scouts believe he will be an all-tools hitter who could eventually shatter some OBP/SLG records. Scouts love most his ability to find the right pitch and added ability of swinging at balls in the strike zone. His defense is not great, but he does not need to be good there to be a star.

3B No Hands Humphrey, Nichols College - Humphrey is the elite power hitter of his class with scouts seeing him battling for home run titles from day one for the Bison. 1B Randall Marcus of Roxbury College may be the only player in the CCBL with more power than Humphrey. Marcus hit 34 last season, a goal Humphrey can shoot for.

1B Antonio Smithjones, Lesley - Smithjones is another powerful hitter entering the CCBL. He is large, measuring 6'8" and 250 pounds. When he puts his large frame into a swing, the ball can travel just about as far as anyone else can hit it. He is a decent fielding 1B, so he should be on the field from Day 1 with the Lynx.

Top CCBL Players

1. SP Maverick Rizzy, Quincy Coll - Rizzy finished his sophomore season with a 10-3, 1.40 season. Based on those numbers, he was the Top Collegiate Pitcher Award winner. Assuming 2319 is similar, we should see Rizzy among some of the CCBL's all-time lists and his name called early in the draft.

2. SP Snag Favre, ECSU - Favre has a shortened freshman season, pitching in only three games and finishing 0-1 with a 2.08 ERA. Scouts believe he has only one factor stopping him from being the top overall pick in 2320: his health. There are concerns that his body is not built to handle the pitching load expected of him. His snappy pitches have a lot of movement, so he may need to upgrade his straight fastballs to pitch an entire career.

3. SS Monster Milam, American Int'l - Milam burst onto the scene as an exciting defensive SS who will one daty develop into a major league hitter. He did not have a bad start, hitting .354/2/30 and stealing 24 bases.

4. SP Ronnie Rants, Roxbury College - Rants is the "stuff" pitcher, using his blazing fastballs to frustrate hitters. He finished 9-4 with a 2.43 ERA as a freshman, showing that he is one of the top pitchers in the CCBL. His 4-seamer and cutter are equally detrimental, helping him to 143 strikeouts in 115.0 innings pitched.

5. RF Old Blue Sandoval, Narragansett - Sandoval is considered a 1st-round talent for the 2319 draft. Scouts love his eye and how he is a great all-around hitter. In two seasons, he is hitting .366 with 45 home runs and 114 RBI. A 25 homer 2319 would put him as one of the CCBL's best homer hitter of all-time.

The Youth Rises

The 2319 Commonwealth Youth League season is set to begin with each of the North and South regions adding a new division and multiple new teams.

In the North Region, the Franklin Pierce Division joins the fray, while the South Region added the Nathan Hale Division. Several teams have moved around, but there are also some new youth teams joining the CYL. Divisions and teams are at the end of this update.

North Region additions:
Andover Radhaunts
Beverly Burglars
Burlington Sweet Tooths
Dover Gentleboys
Rutland Glow
South Burlington Astrokids

South Region additions:
Bridgeport Gears
Narragansett Noises
New Shoreham Drifters
Stamford Wraiths
Waterbury Waterwalkers
Westerly Circuits

Top Freshmen

1. CF Huge Jack Mann, Taunton Giants - Mann is a beast with getting on base and then extending to extra bases, at least according to scouts. Scouts think that he will be a top-of-the-order staple throughout his career, with an excellent ability to turn any LCF/RCF base hit into a double. He is not overly aggressive on steals, but can swipe as many as he wants. While he still needs to improve defensively, he should also not have trouble running down fly balls, meaning he is likely to be a CF, though he came in listed at RF.

2. LF Orel Gep, Sudbury Celebs - Son of Oren Gep, the youngest has made his claim to the outfield, currently listed as the a top newcomer for the Celebs. Scouts think that he is a cleanup hitter type who can work the count. Defensively, he is considered solid. He has some speed, though he is not expected to steal a lot of bases.

3. SP Justin Nightwatch, Bridgewater Baristas - The son of former outfielder Jace Nightwatch, the younger Nightwatch is a talented pitcher with an effective four-pitch arsenal. Scouts believe his splitter will one day be elite. he is expected to develop a well-rounded ability to blast pitches past hitters, keep them off balance to prevent home runs, and hit his spots. In other words, Nightwatch, should he fully develop, will be a staff ace.

4. 3B David Pageturner, Haverhill Detectives - Another son of a CBO veteran (Mace), and in this case, also the nephew of one (Matt), Pageturner follows neither in his father's outfield prowess or his uncle's pitching arm. Instead, Pageturner is a corner IF who could play the middle. He is also a premier power hitter who should start on his power journey as a freshman with the Detectives.

5. 2B Alex Noob, Boston Harbor Fellows - The 4th son of a veteran listed, though it is important to note that Alex is related to Sam Noob, not Josh. Two unrelated Noobs played at the same time. Alex is a baseball nut, willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. He loves to get the bat on the ball, though he swings more to make contact than drive balls to the gap or over the fence. As a pull hitter, that could mean teams play him down the line, so he needs to work on patience and driving the ball to the opposite field. He has excellent range and an arm. Once he learns how to handle his glove better, he will move to SS.

Top of the Draft

Here are the five seniors we expect to be taken earliest in the 2319 Rookie Draft.

1. SP Starlight Ball, Salem Werewolves - He has not been as dominant in his youth career as he is projected to be later, but Ball has shown flashes of being a star. Scouts think that he will eventually become a pitcher whose pitch movement on his four-pitch repertoire will frustrate and overmatch most hitters. They see nothing but ace potential in his future, giving him a high ceiling and high floor. A dominant senior season to improve on his career 15-11, 3.33 ERA stats would push him up draft boards.

2. 1B Rocket Rooth, New Haven Sailors - Like father, like son, Rooth is expected to be one of the CBO's premier power hitters. He is tall at 6'6" but is still too lean, meaning muscle gain will make the difference. Rooth may also be all name, since he dropped to just 9 home runs his junior season versus the 25 he hit as a freshman. Returning to a 20-plus homer season is what he will need to go high in the draft.

3. SP Wand Engill, Castle Freedom - Health is the key for Engill, who will not play until mid-April, early-May. In the past two seasons, he has had 15 starts compared to his 14 as a freshman, so he has never been able to show all he's got. However, he has shown dominance at times, compiling a 13-4 record with a 2.65 ERA to go along with 270 Ks in 203.2 innings.

4. LF Yeller Cocoa, Newsburyport Cubs - Scouts are starting to warm up to the fact that Cocoa may not be his legendary dad, but he can play ball. Stats do not scream superstar, though his .342/.449/.466 line is both promising and concerning. Cocoa could develop power but has not shown very much. He has been a singles machine, though, and that could lead to a job at the top of a batting order at the higher levels.

5. SS Pattie Pembroke, Barrington Chess Knights - Pembroke is probably the best all-around baseball player in the entire class of '19. He can play any position well except catcher on the field. He is also a great top of the lineup hitter who had elite contact and the ability to avoid strikeouts. His average dipped a little in 2318, but scouts think he will bounce back strong, seeing .300 as a regular number in his batting stats at the next level.

Nuka World Tournament - 2319

Lost in the excitement of the upcoming season, the 2319 Nuka Cup Tournament has seen changes with the entirety of the tournament being held in one week. We will get to that later, but first, let's talk why.

Commissioner Jason LaRue has stated that he feels the Spring Training period is much too short for the needs of developing players. Therefore, the CBO Spring Training period will move from one week to a four-week period, starting March 10.

In the meantime, the Nuka Cup Tournament will take place March 1-7, and the Commish has mentioned that the expansion to 32 teams in 2320 will follow that same pattern.

The initial losers of the Play-in Round of the now single-game elimination will play exhibition games against Nuka World League and Vim! League teams as part of the farewell to those leagues and welcome to their CBO representatives, the Nuka World Thrills and the Far Harbor Fog. CBO teams will visit those locations between March 3-7.

The top two teams from each of the Season pass Association leagues will be in the Boston area, though, taking on teams during the Nuka Cup Tournament, their opponents being the first four teams eliminated in the double-elimination portion before the semifinals in Diamond City. That means there will be plenty of games played over the course of a few days.

Now to the Nuka Cup Tournament regions.

The champions Diamond City have home-field advantage throughout the Cup. Teams playing for the right to play for the double-elimination portion of the Cup are #2 Fort Hagen vs #7 University Point, #3 Jamaica Plain vs #6 Nordhagen Beach, and #4 Easy Town vs #5 Roxbury.

Lexington's regional is matched with the Swatters. Teams in their region include #2 Vault 81 vs #7 County Crossing, #3 Concord vs #6 Oberland, and #4 Goodneighbor vs #5 Salem.

The runners-up, Cambridge, hosts a regional for the first time. Teams involved in their regional are #2 Egret vs #7 Sunshine Tidings, #3 The Slog vs #6 Spectacle Island, and #4 Atom vs #5 Nahant.

Finally, Southie is the host of the final regional, paired with the Coursers. Teams in their regional are #2 Starlight vs #7 Quincy, #3 FHE vs #6 Bunker Hill, and #4 Malden vs #5 Glowing Sea.

Nuka Cup Tournament

The Nuka Cup Tournament was a one-week affair this season, meaning that there was a lot of action but many fewer games. As mentioned, Commissioner Jimmy LaRue decided that Spring Training would expand from one week to four weeks, taking away some of the exhibition of teams and giving younger players more opportunities to make their marks and get some game experience before the season begins. he has said that it would be beneficial for the expansion teams to get more work in, also, as they begin operation in late 2319.

With that stated, the Nuka Cup Tournament has come to a close, and we are pleased to report that there is a first-time champion holding on to the Nuka Cup until March 2320: the Malden Grognaks. Let's see how they got there.

Nuka Cup Championship

Malden 7, Easy Town 3, 10 inn.

The Malden Grognaks clinched their first-ever Nuka Cup Tournament title with a thrilling come-from-behind extra inning offense burst, defeating fellow Brotherhood League member, the Easy Town Assaultrons, 7-3, in 10 innings.

While starter Hrye Caje was named the game's MVP with a six-inning, three earned runs allowed affair, it was the Grognaks offense in the late game that mattered.

Entering the top of the 9th, Malden trailed 3-1 with the Trons' Tee Browning on the mound. Browning led off by walking Jack of Diamonds Cordero. With one out, pinch hitter Buttons Bunterson surprised with a two-run home run to tie the game, 3-3. Bunterson has five career homers over seven seasons.

In the 10th inning, the Grognaks axed the competition. Browning again started the inning, but he was quickly pulled when Malden's Floren Habern led off with a solo home run. With Tut Cadillac in relied, the onslaught began. Cadillac walked Lance Tinter, allowed him to steal second, and then intentionally walked Jacob Tarberry. With one out and runners at the corner, Cordero hit an RBI sac fly to make it 5-3. Keepuh Knockin then hit a two-run bomb to make it 7-3, leading to Easy Town pulling Cadillac.

Spring Training

Today marks the first day of Spring Training in the first season ever where it will last an entire month instead of a week. Teams have called up players to their 40-man spring rosters and have begun to make some cuts. Based on the players invited, we will feature several young players we are looking at to make a splash in 2319. We will also list the cuts as franchises reduce their numbers to 160 players in their systems.

Bunker Hill - SS Alvin Dark - The 3rd overall pick in the 2317 draft, dark played and started in 41 games with the 75ers last season, racking up a .168/3/8 line. The team is expecting those numbers to continue to improve and cite his glove as the reason they need him now before he has fully developed.

County Crossing - SS Warring Morris - 2317's #1 overall pick went straight from a championship at Yale to the worst team entering the 2318 season. In 111 games with 105 starts as a rookie, Morris hit .205/3/42/17 SB. He has already shown some frustration but his talent should boost both his numbers and team's success sooner rather than later.

Fort Hagen - SP Bubs Tentsleep - We are not sure if this is a splash pick or just an improvement pick. Tentsleep went 13-10 with a 4.54 ERA in his debut season with the Silver Shroud. The former 2nd-round pick by Starlight, Tentsleep started 27 games and appeared in 34. The 22-year-old is still developing, but the Shroud hope he can take the leap up the rotation this season.

Lexington - SP Diesel O'Neal - The Synths rookie appeared in 10 games as a reliever in 2318, going 1-1 with a 2.30 ERA in 15.2 innings. Now, Lexington is going to ask him to join the rotation. At 26, the former Concord 2nd-rounder is almost in a now-or-never situation. he will have to beat out veteran Admiral Kelm to get a starting nod, or the Synths might deal him to get some more help on the offense.

Malden - RF Nhat Tru - A 4th-round pick in 2316 out of Boston Common (CYL), Tru appeared in eight games late in 2318, starting seven. He his .391/0/5 in that stretchm giving the Grognaks hope that he will be their everyday starter in RF. They want his good power to show in Spring Training.

Quincy - SP Arcade Anderson - He is penciled in as the 2nd starter behind Kid Boots Appling for the Granites, so a splash will be necessary. The #2 overall pick in the 2318 draft, the true rookie is in feast or famine mode with his new squad. We expect Anderson to make the rotation, but the question is how much success can he find in Year 1.

Roxbury - SP Crawdad McCarthy - McCarthy is another rookie looking to break into the rotation. The former 5th-overall pick in the 2316 draft, McCarthy has appeared in relief in 16 games over two seasons with the Rad Sox. He is 2-0 with two saves and a 3.06 ERA in those 17.2 innings of work. Now, he is ready to try his hand at starting in the CBO. The Sox have him listed as the 4th starter in the Spring Training rotation.

Southie - 1B Earthwind More - The 2316 4th-round pick More debuted in 2318, appearing in 34 games and starting 27. In that time, he hit .316 with 4 home runs and 19 RBI. The Brews are now looking to pass on the torch to More as the full-time starter, hoping he can hit 20-plus home runs for them. he showed his star power, too, earning the Association Semifinal Series MVP.

Sunshine Tidings - SP Talley O'Reilly - Fort Hagen's 15th-overall pick in the 2317 Draft, O'Reilly was a part of the Red Jay Jones trade. Now, he is pencilled in as the Chemists' 2nd starter, meaning that he needs to be ready now. That may be a tough task, but he did show success in 2318, including going 3-0 with a 0.45 ERA in three starts totaling 20.0 innings wth Worcester of the NEBL (AAA) in 2318. Numbers like what he had at Tenpines Bluff (MML), 3-4, 3.48 in 10 starts, would be great for his CBO numbers in Sunshine Tidings mind.

CCBL Season Begins: Title Up for Grabs

When the 2318 season concluded, with the Tufts Jumbos defeating the NHSU Giants, college baseball felt as though the baseball gods got it right yet again, just like it did for the star-studded Yale team of 2317. Again, the champions had the #1 overall pick to go with their win when County Crossing selected 1B Bear Jones #1 overall in the 2318 draft. He joins Yale's Warring Morris with the Bloodbugs as #1 overall picks from the championship team the previous season. The Jumbos, just like Yale, are not expected to repeat with the loss of talent they had in 2319. So someone new must emerge.

In looking at PAM's predictions for 2319, one big stat jumps out. NONE of the 98 collegiate teams are predicted to have 40 or more wins in the 60-game season. PAM picks three to tie for the best record at 39-21: American Int'l, ECSU, and Framingham State.

Here are the tiers of most wins for the other playoff expectant teams listed in the order we saw them on PAM's list:

38 wins
Bentley
Plymouth State
Narragansett

37 wins
Boston College
Bunker Hill
New Hampshire
Vermont Tech
Post
Saint Anselm
Elms College
Maine Maritime

36 wins
Brown
UMass-Dartmouth
RISD

35 wins
Hellenic American
Sturbridge
Bridgewater St
Westfield St
Providence
Acadia College

Someone has to win the MassCon

Curry College, Nahant Marine Institute, and WNEU are all predicted to be tied at 34-26 with Salem State and UMass-Lowell picked at 33-27 and Mass Atlantic and UMass picked at 32-28. We will just stop there. By PAM’s estimates, the winner of the MassCon will be the #7 seed by record. But all seven teams listed are decently good. So who will it actually be?

Well, UMass has won the conference the past two seasons, even going 52-8 in the regular season just two years ago. They have reached the Sweet 16 in three straight seasons. Freshman SS Top Dog Fowler is already expected to make an impact on the Minutemen team, but the question is how much juice the rest of the team has. In comparison to their conference mates, we think they have enough.

Curry College recently won a title, so they could be the team to emerge. The Colonels seem to be more college-talented than other teams in the conference, though they lack a big-name star. UMass-Lowell reached the Sweet 16 in 2318.

NHI, WNEU, and Salem State all lack postseason experience. The Vikings have never made it, though this is only their fourth season in the CCBL. The Aquas do have some potential star power in 2B Bam Bam Davis, 3B Tennis Nakada, and RF Leo Sporino, though all three have to show something in 2319 for it to matter.

Award Predictions

For hitters, freshmen and sophomores need not apply? PAM's top nine players listed as the top collegiate hitter are either draft-eligible juniors or seniors. PAM's top choice is 1B JaRussell Marcus of Saint Anselm College, one of the potential national champions. Other top contenders include: RF Old Blue Sandoval, Narragansett; SS Bruce Anderson, also of teh Hawks with Marcus; 2B Jordan French, Plymouth State; and JaMarcus' twin brother, 1B Randall Marcus of Roxbury College.

In the race to being the top pitcher, some underclassmen can indeed apply. PAM has Elms College's SP Graham Cracker Fontenot as the favorite to be the top pitcher and perhaps #1 overall draft choice. He finishe 3rd in voting last season as a freshman. His team should b better this season, helping to improve on that 3-6, 2.04 mark in 2318. Other contenders include: SP Maverick Rizzy, Quincy College, last season's winner as a sophomore; Worcester State's Damien Ballerini; SP Whit Louaker of Bunker Hill; and SP Snag Favre of ECSU.

Spring Training Report

We were told not to get too excited about the expanded Spring Training introduced this season. So, we will update now and then after Spring Training is over to see what the stats and performances showed in teams whittling their CBO rosters down to 25 and making more necessary cuts on their rosters.

What we will do is take a few looks at young players making their mark. This week, we want to start this with a player whose CYL younger brother is mentioned in the CYL preview below, Quincy's 1B Annakin Hayjen. Hayjen played in 67 games with the Granites last season, starting 43. The 2317 9th round pick and son of Aesed Hayjen, Annakin hit .201 with 6 home runs and 24 RBI in those games. With the NEBL's Fall Rivers before that, Hayjen hit .224 with 8 home runs and 22 RBI. So far in Spring Training, Hayjen is hitting .583/.643/1.250, putting him among the top hitters so far.

CYL Predictions

The 2319 Commonwealth Youth League season is here! Last season, the top-seeded team in the South Region, the Coventry Quads, defeated the #9 seed from the North Region, the Lexington Minuteboys. It was the first Youth Series appearance for each team.

Based on PAM's predictions, the Augusta Moose of the NR Longfellow Division and the New Bedford Whales of the SR Mayhew Division should be the top two teams in 2319.

The Moose would be making their playoffs debut as the #1 overall seed. Players to watch on the Augusta team include senior SS Kess Kutha (.362/36/138 career stats), senior 1B Crunchy Salsman (.328/35/124), senior RF Kermit Hughes (.304/31/104), and a triple threat of freshmen in pitchers Hammer Boston and Anth McKinnies and 2B Kamari Wells.

The Whales are looking to win the Mayhew Division for the third-straight season and make the playoffs for the fourth straight year. Despite regular season success, they have only as gone as far as the Regional Quarterfinals (final 16 teams in the CYL) in that time. Standouts include former CBO player Gavin Eviritts son, senior SP Zap Everitts (15-11, 4.58) who has made significant progress from his freshman season, junior SP Darby Walsh (2-6, 4.68, 9 SV), C Goliath Baldwin (.298/30/92), and a bevy of talented freshmen, including top scouted in C Ack Westheim (son of CBO legend Racky Westheim), CF Chubba Horton, 2B Chig Necto, and 2B Huey McGraw.

The overall outlook for the top players in each region are mostly made up of upperclassmen, but a few youngsters have a shot.

In the NR, the top hitter (Slugger Supreme Award) pick is Boston Harbor's sophomore SS Ambush McMahon. McMahon hit .302 with 8 homers and 30 RBI last season, but PAM predicts him to up that batting average to .455 in 2319. Other candidates include sophomore CF Merlin McCloud, Derry Farmers; junior LF Bear Bather, Gloucester Dog Trainers; senior SS Wild Card Fitzgerald, Covenant Dandy Boys; and senior CF Amazon Forest, Castle Freedom. Worm Sanders, drafted in the 3rd round as the 80th overall pick by The Slog, of North Charles Bank won the past two seasons.

The NR's top pitcher pick (Mound Ace Award) is somewhat problematic. Apparently, PAM did not get the memo that the pick, talented SP Wand Engill of Castle, will miss at least the first month of the two-month season. Therefore, let's pick PAM's #2, Plum Island's freshman SP Killian Alchemist. Other contenders include: junior SP Daniel Grullon, Hester Mechanists; junior SP Donnie Clockwork, Nahant Couriers; freshman SP Josh Rahn, Danvers Perception; and freshman McKinnies of Augusta. Rhubarb Coombs. drafted 6th overall by University Point, of Gloucester won last season to go along with his 2315 Mound Ace Award.

In the SR, senior LF Dimmy Schiopu of the Naushon Island Radsharks is the pick to be the top hitter. Other contenders include senior RF Ryder Bussey, Sandwich Screamers; senior 1B Bliss Fusion, Wellfleet Tarberries; senior RF Grass Ash, Old Lyme Lake Monsters; freshman 2B Googie Telesford, New London Poppers; and sone of legend Aesed Hayjen, senior RF Aesop Hayjen, Dennis Menaces. Another Dimmy, Dimmy Suciu, drafted by Diamond City in the 3rd round as the 82d-overall pick, of Coventry was the 2318 Slugger Supreme Award winner.

The top pitching candidate in the SR is sophomore SP Chopsticks Shaw of the Radsharks in what would be a double award for the school. Contenders include: senior SP Bryce Yaag, Truro Hatchlings; freshman SP Kieron Taguchi, Forest Park Brahmiluffs; sophomore SP Slippery Scannell McRattigan, Chicopee Galaxy'; senior SP Edgy Ronan Rice; and the Whales' Everitts. Hadley Falls' Ernie Maxload, drafted in the 4th round, 88th overall by Sunshine Tidings, was the 2318 Mound Ace Award winner.
