Season 47 In Tweets Part 1

 To save the previewers the trouble of commenting on last year's performances, decided to post a brief summary of each team's S47, Twitter-style...more or less 140 characters.  Enjoy

Arizona	Burawa Ryan Gil trades a season late to make mwr but solid foundation; Alvarado a 3B tire fire after 2 seasons; palet #1 on S49 waitlist
Austin	Even with 94 wins, they seemed to under-achieve until playoff time. Led NL in runs but bad mid-relief and 34 bad plays hurt (DH in RF)
Boise	Sometimes owners have to go deal with real life, and sometimes it doesn't matter to their HBD teams...this time it did
Boston	They keep winning & making playoffs, despite the obvious shortcomings of ownership and management; 5th in runs, 11th in ERA
Buffalo	1st year of rebuild so far so good. 11 trades set up a wave of mid-range talent to arrive S48 and 49. 6 wins below projected.
Cleveland	Young talent piling up – Koplove 12 wins, Tannehill 3.36 ERA but need more than 156 HR. Jville starting over and Columbus aging.
Colorado	Park is the manager's nightmare – 6.71 ERA. To project to .500, they would have had to score 200 more runs than they did (921 actual)
Columbus	99 wins with almost the whole staff (Malachi Carver was 29) over 30. rdierkers won the WS 1st year here and has never won less than 89
Florida	1-run games matter: expected wins were higher than Richmond's expected wins. Once you make the tourney who knows?
Honolulu	End of an era: Brad Terry moves on after a couple of near-MVP seasons and 454 Hrs. Querecuto is the real deal but needs more help
Houston	2nd in ERA, 5th in runs, 98/10 good/bad plays, extreme youth foretell bright future. Alomar and Tart both excelled in same season 1st time.
Jackson	11-season Division streak came to and end, but they're not done. Walsh still OPS'd 800+, Boswell OB'd .393, and 1-2 starters were money
Jacksonville	Wrapped 7-season run with 1 WS, 4 100-win seasons and 3 90-win seasons. Valdivia ends HOF career with 4 MVP and 618 HR
Kansas City	Impressive. 101 wins, 3rd in runs, 3rd in ERA, Grade A defense, and first WS in 35 seasons. Congrats dakar, well-deserved
Las Vegas	All about the Big 4 Ainsworth Stock Fonville & Taylor. 3 were below career norms & LV had worst season last 3. Benitez best yr since '35
Los Angeles	107 fewer runs than S46 and still won the Div. 27 1-run wins helped, as did 4th-best ERA and 98 + plays. D-first wasn't great for playoffs tho
