The Angels on the National South Side no doubt. The D'Backs look pretty good on the National side with both Corvello & Hooven returning. I wouldn't write off either the Giants or Dodgers. We'll be solid but smallllll.

Angels because of the coaching in NS majors....I think the National is up for grabs. Lot of teams with some good 11 and 12 returners. Cards will be in the thick of it along with D'backs and Giants. Dodgers need more pitching depth. One never really knows for sure tho.

Let me put in a PLUG for the YANKEES. This team has some great 10 year old talent, that will only get better next year, and with the ACE form the ANGLES GONE. This will be a NEW TEAM.....Hold on to you predictions guys........

YANKEES have 3-10 year olds that should pitch very well, Nick cruses around 55, Zack with lots of great stuff and Brennon who is ready anytime . Not to mention 1 returning 12 year old.
Should be interesting..............

for an 11 yo to be good enough to lead his team to a nat south/city title game he has to be "special" the last special 11 year olds i seen in NAT was Keaton in 2001 (won every game he pitched), and in NAT SOUTH Galdamez (also won every regular season game he pitched and had 2 no-hitters against Kids that went on to WIN DISTRICT 10 2 YEARS IN A ROW in ALL STARS), also in 2001.
if memory serves me corectly Keaton went his 11 and 12 year old years undefeated
and galdamez (i know his numbers better as he has played for me for 5 years now) finished his 11 and 12 year old years with a 22-2 record (one in the city championship 2001 @julien and the other to Keaton) in those 2 years he also had 5 NO-HITTERS (2 of which were perfect games) and averaged OVER 2 K's per Inn with a mediocre fastball (about 60 to 63 MPH range) and a devastating curve. side note: galdamez has pitched in 4 consecutive City Championship Games from 2001-2004 and has won the last three
i havent seen any1 "special" since, and thats that there were some very good pitchers including king, buchanan, baldwin, the trujillo brothers, harris, and Walker
should be a good season and maybe some1 will emerge as a "special kid" next year. gl to all

I would have to say the Yankees in the NS. A great core of returners and great pitching, they should be a force for the next 2 years. The National side is up for grabs between the cards, diamondbacks and Giants. We have a long way to go until next year.

It really does not matter because you wont see that team together will you? I would like to see every kid in the league get their fair share of playing time. Send em all home with smiles.
