Well, the Monarchs have relocated from Cincinnati and changed divisions in the process. Last season was a disappointing one, with pitchers performing so bad I cried at night. A fresh outlook for this year though, with several key new faces.

New faces in bold.

I think I should be competing for the division, who knows though. This team seems to go up and down to much to count on much consistency.
