	Buenos Aires Mad Turtles keep: Johan Santana Randy Johnson Curt Schilling Pedro Martinez Kerry Wood	Analysis Punturere will stick with the amazing pitching staff that carried this franchise to the International Division Championship game. Only that this year it's a bit better after the acquisition of Pedro Martínez. Their hitting will be weak since they will have to find some deep sleepers in the draft. It's a big gamble; last season it paid off.
	Belfast Cubs keep: Todd Helton Derek Jeter Jake Peavy Mark Mulder Carl Pavano	Analysis The late offseason trade for Mulder and Peavy leaves them with a nice pitching staff after a terrible year in 2004. Hopefully, the acquisitions will bring some respectability to the European franchise. However, I still think they could have done much more to improve their talent level for the upcoming season.
	Kitchener Howlers keep: Jimmy Rollins Scott Rolen Bobby Abreu Brad Lidge Francisco Rodriguez	Analysis The 2004 champions had a huge talent pool to choose their five keepers from. Matthies could have kept Boone, Mora, Chipper, Halladay and Clemens! Maybe he should have traded them for some picks. However, I shouldn't second guess the reigning champions, I'm sure they tried but couldn't garner interest.
	Toronto Delivery Boys keep: Justin Morneau Marcus Giles Juan Pierre AJ Burnett Joe Nathan	Analysis Ouch! In Oliveira's own words: that's ugly! He'll have to work really hard to make this team a contender. I think this Delivery Boys will deliver many wins to their opponents, at least the first month of the season. The manager should draft wisely and make good free agent acquisitions during the year.
	Boston Stranglers keep: Nomar Garciaparra Adrian Beltre Manny Ramirez Adam Dunn Eric Gagne	Analysis Breault has built a team around the long ball. You won't find a lineup with more power. Even Gagne is what you'd call a power pitcher. This franchise made the playoffs last season and, barring a terrible draft, they should make it again in 2005. The only question is: Can Beltre repeat his 2004 breakout performance?
	Trenton Walkers keep: Joe Mauer Miguel Cabrera Carl Crawford Javier Vazquez Zach Greinke	Analysis I guess Buchar doesn't like the Cardinals. In a last minute deal he traded Pujols, Edmonds AND 3 picks in exchange for three kids with potential and a bunch of draft picks. I don't like this trade one bit. I think he has just gave away the 2005 season for this franchise. These keepers won't bring a championship to Trenton in the near future.
	Harrisonburg Savage Fury keep: David Ortiz Richie Sexson Aramis Ramirez Ichiro Suzuki Roy Oswalt	Analysis We can say they start with 100 homers in the bank already, plus a hitting machine and a very good ace. Singer took over a franchise that had a bad inaugural season but they seem to be on the right track. I see this team as a contender if the manager has a good draft.
	Mishawaka Maniacs keep: Michael Young Barry Bonds Albert Pujols Jim Edmonds Jason Schmidt	Analysis Now, that's a real blockbuster! If the Maniacs go all the way this season, we'll be saying that they won the title the night of February 11 when Spalding brought Pujols and Edmonds to Mishawaka. With this dream outfield and this ace, the Maniacs are strong contenders for the championship this year.
	Jersey Black Sox keep: Ivan Rodriguez Alfonso Soriano Eric Chavez Vernon Wells Oliver Perez	Analysis A few surprises here. Wells in, Zito and Palmeiro out. Black Sox will start with an amazing infield, a formula that didn't prove successful for them last season. After a 10-11 year, they'll need a comeback season by Vernon Wells to avoid the fury of the fans. Bold move by Jastremski.
	Beachwood Terriers keep: Mark Teixeira Miguel Tejada Hank Blalock Carlos Beltran Ben Sheets	Analysis Wow! Who has the better infield? The Black Sox or the Terriers? Vargo sure has a nice building block... or six or them, because to this group of young superstars you've got to add their first pick in the draft, Mark Prior. It's great when a manager assembles a team that can win now and for years to come.
	Chesapeake Tree Frogs keep: Jim Thome Alex Rodriguez Aubrey Huff Edgar Renteria Magglio Ordoñez	Analysis You thought the Tigers were crazy for giving Magglio that big fat contract? Well, here are the Frogs deciding to keep him. We know he's talented but his health might make him the biggest question mark of the season. The rest of the guys are pretty solid and the Frogs should be in good shape.
	Saint Louis Drunken Monkeys keep: Victor Martinez Vladimir Guerrero Tim Hudson Carlos Zambrano Livan Hernandez	Analysis It's hard to believe Pursley let Delgado and Berkman go. The manager decided to go for position scarcity instead of sheer power. They do have a nice pitching staff that will eat plenty of innings. These are good keepers but I still feel they will regret having released Carlos Delgado.
