The Dodgers, Rangers and Tigers are the three most improved teams this year.
The three biggest declines?
They’re all Great Lakes clubs….
(Indians, White Sox and Cubs).

Interesting observation, Yellowstone. Only YOU bring such insight to the game. Now, the Tigers, as you mentioned, are much improved, and they’re pretty damn close to a lake, and the Brew Crew–who everybody wrote off after Sheets and CC took off–are surprising everyone, but the other Lakes teams are pretty much stink-o. The Blue Jays have done okay but are already starting to fade and no doubt will continue. Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bisons and Toledo Mud Hens are a combined 30-58, the two worst teams in the International League. Maybe that’s what Lake Effect really means–a lot of snow in the winter and a lot of losses in the summer . Still, as the Northwoods League gears up for tomorrow’s opener, hopes run high for the Green Bay Bullfrogs, Duluth Huskies, and Thunder Bay Border Cats. Even the Mankato Moon Dogs have a shot this year. Okay, I know Mankato isn’t on a Great Lake or even a not-so-great one, but having read Rollie’s Follies, I know you appreciate a good team name. Keep up the good work.
