40% done... surprises, all-stars and Windy City

[Lintyfresh85]

So we're about 42% done with the season so far and I thought it'd be a good time to take stock of what's happening around the league in 1986.

Feel free to post your thoughts on your team as well as other happenings around the league.

Who do you think will be an all-star this year, and who do you think takes each division now that you have seen start to play out?

I'll go with...

Linty, that's a bold prediction. My team will be 20 games below .500 soon enough. We've been lucky as hell so far.

Maine
Los Lunas
Dallas
WC: Hartford (solid team all-around, lots of good young talent)

Domestic League

Ale: Maine
Lager: Los Lunas
Pilsner: Dallas
WC: Indy

Import League

Stout: Wilmington
Bock: Windy City
Porter: Philly
WC: Washington

DL Stout Slugger: Johnny Buzzell
DL Pale Ale: Denver Brode*

IL Stout Slugger: Dani Alvarez
IL Pale Ale: Dunmore Theordore*

* - MVP

Things to Watch in the last 60%
- Windy City will push the league record in Wins
- Wilmington will go crazy in the 2nd half and win the stout by 6 games
- Hartford will dip
- Dani Alvarez will chase 50 HRs
- Dante Geake will not be able to shake the injury bug
- Batavia's Nakazo 'Chuckwagon' Sasaki comes out and wins the IL Refreshing New Brew after playing the first 40% of the season in the minors
- One self indulgent one... watch out for Dale O'Hegarty making a push for IL Stout Slugger. He's not a big bopper like Alvarez or a guy who's going to hit .370... but he's going to have a line that is hard to ignore.
