With the spring 2008 season just over 24 hours away it is time to preview the Knights and see what chance they stand. And while they are not truly defending their title after skipping the Winter season to rest and rehab, they look to defend their streak and maintain the reputation they have built.
The buzz seems to be "Meet the new guys...Same as the old guys"
With only one change of personel the Knights look to be as cohesive a unit as ever. The only change comes at the 6 hole where slick fielding SS Jeff Lusk is replaced by an old Knights favorite, versitile utlity man Andrew Haynes. "Offensivly, its about a push. But defensivly we lose the range and strong throwing arm of Jeff" Said the Knights Fearless Leader Jeff Moore.
Other keys may include the rumored postion switches that may have some basis in fact.
One of the formost of these is IF Shauna Johnson could be seeing alot more time at first, Putting the captain on the pine. Filling the hole she leaves at 2B would be Knights regular Chris Melkonian, who showed solid skills in limited innings on the second sack last season.
"I was really encouraged by what I saw at BP the other day" Moore said about a limited practice, "Im really loving what im seeing out of our veterans"
But all remains to be seen as the Knights open the season tomorrow at 8:45 PST
Stay tuned for game updates
