Season 29: 90--72, won Division, reached AL Play-in DS & lost to New Orleans
"Breakthrough" Means: Making the World Series. Huntington will win this division by 20 games and probably at least 100 games. They have it all.
To Do That They Have To: Show up and get a little lucky. They match up well with any other AL team.
This Team Is Built On: A bushel of stars. B.C. Alfonzo, Lewis Gilkey, Tommy Webster, Hanley Welsh, Kurt Marte, Mark Martin, Shane Philips and Fausto Rodriguez. The players listed in my previews aren't random. They are above a certain number on my rating scale Huntington has the most of any team I reviewed.

Season 29: 79-83
"Breakthrough" Means: Making the playoffs. My favorite line in Clueless is when Alicia Silverstone's Cher calls the late Brittney Murphy's Tai "not completely unfortunate". The Dark Monsters are the same. They have perhaps the league's best player and a lineup that will score some runs, but not nearly enough pitching. I'd predict a WC #2 for the team, but what is this, Kentucky?
To Do That They Have To: Get pitching. If this team goes 70-92 its because their team ERA is 5.00. They'll score runs, but can they prevent them?
This Team Is Built On: My not-so-secret boyfriend Joshua Monahan. He's amazing.

akresser ** NEW OWNER **
Season 29: 76-86
"Breakthrough" Means: AKresser comes back for a second season. The rebuild since the surprise World Series title has been uneven and Chicago just doesn't have enough pitching. and only Addison Oropesa and Pasqual Hernandez really excite me.
This Team Is Built On: time. I don't have a lot here.
Player to Watch: Addison Oropesa is fantastic. He's going to be an all-star multiple times in his career.

iain ** NEW OWNER **
Season 29: 52-110
"Breakthrough" Means: A winning season. This is in better shape than one might think. . .alright than I thought right off. They lack of depth of quality players you'd like to see in a team that would make the playoffs, but 75-87 is a very reasonable expectation.
To Do That They Have To: Their key players Darren Walton, Lou Donald, and Davey Rogers will really need to perform. David Jimenez and Edgar Martin are good bats that will need to give an OPS well into the 800's.
Player to Watch: Darren Walton is ready explode. He could win the MVP this year with a little luck. Superstud.
