TROY TROJANS (new team)

A lot of people are very enthusiastic about this team. They are absolutely loaded with young talent. While that talent is likely still a year or two away from making them a contender, they definitely look like a possible team of the future.

21 C Charlie Bennett (1-20-.280-0 with Milwaukee as rookie) - This talented 24-year-old looks like he could develop into one of the better catchers of the 80s.
26 1B Dan Brouthers (rookie) - This hulking 20-year-old is a highly touted young player. They expect big things from him.
34 2B Ed Caskin (rookie) - A little too old (27) to be a hot young rookie, but they still feel pretty confident about this inexperienced infielder.
17 SS Tom Barlow (0-24-.311-1 with Chicago; lifetime .329 hitter) - After two years of getting what he felt was insufficient respect from Chicago, he headed back east to help this new team get started.
3 3B Ned Williamson (0-6-.259-0 with Indianapolis as rookie) - Another talented young player. This team is really set up well for the future.
62 Tom "Brick" Mansell (rookie) - This 24-year-old is the older brother of Syracuse's new left fielder. They both look like adequate players, but not much better.
40 CF "Hartford Jack" Farrell (0-25-.255-2 with Milwaukee; lifetime .243 hitter) - He doesn't have a stellar track record, but he's a solid defensive center fielder and is only 23 years old so there's room to improve.
22 RF "Bloody Jake" Evans (rookie) - This 22-year-old has a reputation as a good defender, but there are doubts about his hitting ability.
45 P Pud Galvin (26-23, 2.52 with Indianapolis; lifetime 65-118) - Another great young player - it's easy to forget that he's only 22 years old.
