Brewers favored to win the North

As of right now, it looks like the Lexington Brewers are gonna be the team to beat in the Northern League. With their four regular players returning, they are poised to make a championship run this year. Jim Hewey is back to captain this team again this season. Brian Eyer and Tim Kramer return as their 1-2 pitchers and rumor has it that Phil Shero has been practicing his batting. Which is good because last year he couldn't hit his way out of a wet paper bag.
The only team I see contending with the Brew Crew is Jackmove. We'll have to wait and see how Jackmove's roster compares at the beginning of the season. Captain Matt Jones, Gerald Allen and Dusty Kirk are all returning for another run at the World Series. Justin Johnson and Colin Conway may also be joining this team. Zac Warren's future is up in the air at this point.
It'll be interesting to see how these two teams fare in the revamped Northern League.
