Mafia In 2015

                                   Spring training is coming to a end and again New York has high expectations in 2015. Looking at there roster not much has changed, all the key players are back with just a tweak here and there. 27 year old OF Doug Rogers came via trade with South Carolina Bombers. Rogers can play anywhere in the outfield well and has shown some power with the bat, Mafia feel he is starting to find himself and think he will have a nice impacted off the bench. 24 year old Starting pitcher Bruce Marshall is now in AAA amd the hope is he will be to be called up around June or July. Marshall is a sinker ball pitcher that just needs to find his command this year and he will be on his way.

                                   TLD is one of the toughest divisions in the ABL and this year is going to be no different. Nottinghamshire Outlaws last years champions look to have a even better team this year as the very young Outlaws gain more XP but they most of all just down right have talented players.

                                   New York has vowed that there will be no melt down in September, something that is still very fresh in there minds. Maybe a fast start to 2015 will make fans forget last years ending.

                                  Mafia's 1st round pick 16th overall this year was SP Fred Butler  who throws a nasty Knuckleball that hits the catchers glove were ever he sets up. In Butler's 3 year career he pitched 201.1 IP Butler and walked a 28 batters, seems crazy when u think about how he throws the knuckleball most of the time.
