The fit/finish/humor is not on Ron's level, but it's a Media Guide nonetheless! Special thanks to contributors, especially Ted for the previews. Enjoy!

Sorry man. I just couldn't bring myself to talk about all your left handed power bats that take walks again.

You're welcome. It was a bit of a slog at times, but it was fun overall and I was happy to contribute to what's become a popular part of the league.

LOL, over-under on JAX trades set at 13.5?

I agree with the whole preview for us and the division though. Montreal is the 500 lb gorilla in the division, ATC still has a ton of talent, and Brooklyn is bound to turn those bats into something...right? Just hoping a full season of Tully, Tonche, Rutledge, and bullpen additions will offset the regression for about 1/3 of the roster (at least enough to sneak in via the wild card anyway)

This was pretty great and yea our division is a god damned blood bath. 6 out of 7 projected to be over .500. That's insane.

That was awesome!

Great, great work by everyone involved

You're gonna have to write Louisville TNs from now on, because that was great

Did not appreciate the Louisville preview.... haha

As for Madison, we suck again. My bullpen would be great if I weren't using half of these guys as starters. Thinking outside the box this season due to the limited budget and lack of available SPs on the market. It will likely fail, but we were gonna fail anyway so why not go out on a limb.

Had lots of good source material for inspiration. And I'm all tapped out for writing for a bit. Don't know how Ron does this for a job.
