Buddha's Preseason Ranking for C, D and E.

Top 5 in E:

1.  Trust/Wicked Sports/Mario - Despite the confusion of the 2 Trust teams, I think right now this is still the team to beat in E.  Their talent level is top notch in E. They were short players in the Mayhem make up on the 9th and still managed to go 2-2.  In their 1st loss they just beat themselves. Their second loss against Syndicate was a little bit of anger from Syndicate and a lot of Syndicate being a hot team right now.  Come crunch time, when everyone is running at full speed Trust/Wicked should be the team to beat

 

2.  Repo Monkey - They're gonna be a little bit rusty, but make no mistake their roster are all gamers.  It's no coincidence that they went down to Florida and went 3-2, with 2 wins coming against D teams, and had the best scoring average and run differential.  Other teams in the state will have a few more games under their belt goingin to the weekend, but Repo will be ready to play

 

3. Syndicate - They're young for the most part and they play their hardest.  They have had 2 nice runs in Cincy and Taylor.  SOme was a good draw, but alot of it was pure heart.  They added a few solid sticks to last years Bailey's moniker and the defense has improved.  It's not stellar, but they have alot of potential especially with the speed they carry.  When they get hot they are great, but inconsistency has hurt them a couple of times early in this season.  If they start firing on all cylinders they will be top 5 all year long

 

4.  Dooleys - Everything I hear is that they will be solid from top to bottom and their defense is gonnastand out in E this year.  With a couple of tourneys under their belt they should be a top 2 or 3 team

 

5. X Factor - A nice run last weekend is gonna give them confidence alot of teams will lack this weekend.  A young team with a solid vet pitcher, they could spell trouble for a lot of teams this year.  Don't look past these guys

 

Top 5 in D:

 

1.  Mush/Sinister - Gotta be the most solid/stacked roster in D.  They are the team to beat right now

2. Phillies - Finished last year decently and have tons of speed in the field

3. DO/Mushtube - Like them or not, these guys are gonna be right in the mix for every tourney

4. Drama - A good core that started in D last year.  Confidence in themselves is gonna be the key to holding this team together and competitive

5. Apex & Crush (Apex)-Nice win last weekend. If these guys show up and don't self implode they'll be a fun team to watch; (Crush)-Fastest OF in D, but starting the season w/o a couple of their key pieces.
