| STRENGTHS / WEAKNESSES |
Strengths: With guys like Favre, Powell and Leitzel, the Helsinki Hellions have one of the best outfields in baseball. Helsinki has two strong starters. They have a solid bullpen, with no discernable weakspots. Weaknesses: Helsinki's looking to replace their older shortstop with a little youth. Management would like to find someone to play catcher, first baseman and third baseman for them. Looks like they need two quality starters in the bottom of the rotation. Quite frankly, the Hellions don't have any true middle relievers, so one has to imagine that's high on their wishlist. |
