1) Brian Chang 24.0M - Projects as a number 2/3 starter in the show. Overpaid, but was one of the two best starting pitchers on the market. Projected pick: 10 – 15
2) Wilfredo Benitez 20.0M – Probably the best player in the class he should be a great hitter, even though he lacks great power and the ability to play other positions. He was quickly traded to this year to Americas dump, OKC. Projected pick: top 5
3) Wilfredo Velazquez 15.0M – The other good looking pitcher from this group. He looks very impressive with mid 80’s splits, but you got to worry about how many starts this guy can make in a season. If that durability comes up, you have to say he maybe is the biggest steal in the international free agency. Project pick: top 10
4) Julio Rodriguez 12.2M – Very solid looking SS with a good right split. Looks like a solid .270 hitter. I really like this guy if he fills out to his projections, shit I like him now. Projected Pick : 10 - 15
5) Harry Garces 11.5M – Well the red bulls took a pretty large gamble and Harry got fat and couldn’t play SS anymore. Overpaid for an average third baseman. Projected Pick: late first
6) Tomas Velazquez 11.1M – Really good looking RP. The money is right where it should be for him. Should be top 10 closer one day. Projected Pick: top 20
7) Louis Sadler 8.9M – He will be getting on base for the most part with his great eye, but the splits leave me a bit worried about his over value. I think he ends up being a very solid player. Projected Pick: Late First
8) Al Cedeno 7.6M – This guy won’t have the control needed to be much of anything and is probably a AAAA pitcher. Projected Pick: late second/ early third
9) Shin-Soo Zhang 7.4M – Another career minor league player. Projected Pick: 4th Round
10) Midre Cruz 7.1M – Well he almost looks like he could be a major league player with that nice right split. Sadly, like Cedeno earlier, he sucks and will never be an impact on a decent ml club. Projected Pick: 4th Round

S7 World Series features two teams that are very close
Update: Nashville took the series in 7, earning the trophy back. Congrats to owner Decks, who also takes over as commish in s8. We will all be gunning for you.
Louisville Bats(101-61) vs. Nashville Troubadours(102-60)
Nashville is looking to repeat as champs agian this season. But in order to do that they have to beat a team just up I-65 the Bats. Both team feature the best batting lineups in their league wchich why they went one and two in team OPS and runs scored. Pitching is going to be the difference.
Nashville has 3 elite pitchers in Starters Santiago Lee, Preston Towers(Both came in trades from Kansas City), and closer Jorge Olivares. If Tony Martinez wakes up from a season long slump and the relievers get the game to Olivares they will win it again.
Louisville's pitching lacks the studs like Nashville. But has some solid guys that could turn it up right now. Nashville knows all about Louisville closer Bonk Hart, since he spent the first four seasons in the NL powerhouse Honolulu franchise helping to bring them two rings. But they will learn more about guys like Alvin Wilkins who has won 117 games as a starter without a single award(s7 is his first Allstar apperance) and Eugene Darwin a very solid Setup man.

Changing History
Nashville's Michael Lee and Honolulu's Morris Koehlert are on pace to break the Shows single season hits record set by Kid Baxter of 215 way back in season 1.
Both are currently at 143 hits in 106 team games played. Keeping this pace will get them to 218 at the end of the season. But will fatigue or managers resting them for the playoffs prevent them from breaking the long standing record? Lee ended the season with 197, and Koehlert ended with 195.
And Congrat's to Kansas City's Harvey Sexson. He has already tied his own single season triple record of 13. Any more this season just makes his record harder to beat. He ended the season with 15!
