Team Analysis, AL South

The Durham Bulls find themselves in first place once again. Why? The out hit everybody at home and away. The pitching for the most part is better at home than on the road, figure that one out. One of the best defenses meshes well for the front runner. Will it mean another chance at the World Series? Only time will tell.

The Kansas City Royals are in second chasing Durham just like old times down in ole Monterrey. I was thinking a change of scenery and new owner might be good for this team at the beginning. Getting used to the new park has had its ups and downs. Defense is the biggest let down as with this park it must be good to stop the slap hits. Pitching has not been all that great and some of that is the fault of the defense. The hitting has been good.

The Austin Fightin' Armadillos are in third and have been playing catch up as they had a terrible start to the season. The defense borders on terrible. Offense is not covering the defenses tracks. The pitching should be better than it is.

The Tampa Bay Rays have a foothold in the cellar. A season where everything is going wrong. They have a few youngsters to build around and some quality players in the minors coming along nicely and had a fairly nice draft. Still, the Rays are a couple players short and a season or two away.
