Prospects Fair For Colchester in 2004
The outlook for the new season is positive for the Colchester Elites. After compiling an 83-71 record and a second-place finish in 2002, the Elites flopped in 2003, dropping to a 76-78 mark and sixth place, 20 games out of first. Colchester really wasn't that bad, they just play in a strong division. The Elites were 20 games out in 2003 and 19 out last year. The IPA champion Turon Typhoons and the two-time division winner San Alejo Montaneros both are members of the Tycobbian Union South.

Manager Uncle Robbie Wilbertson has improved his mound staff with the addition of Jimmy Simmons, a southpaw with great credentials and potential. If Simmons produces as the team's #4 starter, the Elites will be in the running for a playoff spot. They could overtake Ginza and Summerland. A little more pitching coupled with Colchester's outstanding hitting could put them in the playoffs. The Elites are headed by three All-Stars: pitcher Dennis Pendarvis, first baseman Harlan Roscoe and right fielder Tommy Barella. Colchester tied Marston and Bayview for the most players in the All-Star game.

Best Pitchers: Dennis Pendarvis (16-15 2.61)

Best Batters: 1B Harlan Roscoe (.330 BA/18 HR/101 RBI), RF Tommy Barella (.309 BA/12 HR/113 R/76 SB) and 3B Niles Stanton (.288 BA/38 HR/106 RBI)
