National League West preview


 In the west it's the same old story. After two years of rebuilding. pimpbotlove won the division again. In the past 23 season the Vegas franchise has won 19 division titles. The Galaxy scored the fifth most runs in season 48 and gave up the seventh fewest runs.They have no significant free agents to sign and look for good health and timely hitting to repeat again this season.
  Seattle is again chasing Las Vegas. The Super troopers gave up the fourth fewest runs in the league in season 48. The staff was betrayed by the 25th best offense in the league.This off season the Troopers added two more pitchers, Rich Mateo and Ydwin Brinkley after losing Sammy Cruz to Chicago. Offensive improvement will be internal in that the only position player over 27 is the catcher Carl Roberts.
 In Albuquerque, a franchise loaded with young pitching in the minors, it may come down to how Russell Evers, Thad Kemp and Ralph Collier pitch this season. If this trio of young pitchers break through and have stellar years, Albuquerque will be able to nurture the strength of their farm system(young dynamic arms) while enticing free agent batters to push this franchise to unknown heights.
  In Vancouver picc818 starts the Elmer Whitt era. picc818  has been in our league for 42 years and this maybe his best player ever. The Nl west is an offensive group and Elmer maybe able to dominate for years to come.
