Charlotte Lawmen (96-66 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS)
Charlotte won the series for the second year in the row last season. Led by powerful Valerio Abreau (.321 28 102) and Derrick Fonville (.257 42 112), the offense was firing on all cylinders. The big question this year is do they have what it takes to make it a three-peat. Juan Benitez (14-4 2.29) and Dickie Pierce (14-10 4.71) have to again lead a pitching staff that needs consistency in order to make another run. Jermaine Oliver (.298 22 87 with VC) signed a three year 7.8MIL contract to bring his bat to a potent lineup. Herman Belinda comes aboard with a three year 15.2MIL contract. The thing to note is both Free Agents are in their 30's and on the downside of brilliant careers.
SEE YOU AT THE WORLD SERIES IF...... The offense once again goes with the belief that outfield fences are just hinderences, and the pitching staff stays healthy.
