Sixto Lavio is back from shoulder tendinitis that he suffered back on 3/20 in preseason the year. Mafia has had one of the top bullpens in the RCL over the past 3 season but this year has been different without Sixto Lavio and Ronald Hart. Hart had elbow ligament reconstruction surgery on 5/15/14 and only pitched 24 innings in 2014, now Hart is currently in rehab at Mafia's AAA in Mexico.
New York is 12-8 this year one game back from the Champs. One big factor in the 12-8 record aside from of course Jorge Mora is 1B switch hitting Daniel Roberts who was brought in from the Rule 5 off of the Maple Marauders. Its only 20 games into 2015 so we will try not too get too crazy over it but when you play like Roberts has in "New York" it turns into a really big deal. Roberts leads the league in on-base-percent .506 and RBI's with 31 batting .435 with 8 homers. Mora loves it too because he leads the league in runs scored with 21.
One thing is for sure this years team looks like the will score a ton of runs something they are not used to, pitching has been were New Yoek has shined over the years. So far this looks like it will be another fun season of baseball in New York.

Hitting and a Strong Bullpen. Why does resonate for me??
ReplyDeleteHey, man, are you scouting Italy? If not, I think you should. A few Sicilians working their way through the system would be awesome.
