Lets get right to it.<\/p>\n<p>1. <strong>So Cal Bombers<\/strong>&#8211; Losing Potskin hurts but not enough to knock them off.<br \/>\n2. <strong>Team Rainey<\/strong>&#8211; This team will be battling for number one all year.<br \/>\n3. <strong>A-1 Tank<\/strong>&#8211; The real story here&#8230;Frye, Gaspar and Dodson. Three pitchers with rings. Frye won a &#8220;B&#8221; national and an &#8220;A&#8221; runner up and Gaspar and Dodson won NAFA A titles.<br \/>\n4. <strong>Taylor Farms<\/strong>&#8211; They&#8217;re loaded. Some say their bench will be too long but I dissagaree. Guzman seems to have something going here. With this team, a wedding or child&#8217;s birthday won&#8217;t kill em. They will just insert another proven player. Chemistry not an issue here.<br \/>\n5. <strong>River City Rockers<\/strong>&#8211; Other than Rainey and So Cal, this is the only top 5 team to have victories over several top level opponents.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n6. <strong>Bakersfield Lumberkings<\/strong>&#8211; The Rounders trip up and the kings jump up.<br \/>\n7. <strong>Rude Pac<\/strong>&#8211; Solid finish in their 06 debut weekend. Picked up veteran strike thrower in Rooney but as we have seen this weekend, 9 players is tough to win a tourney with.<br \/>\n8. <strong>Long Beach Snakes<\/strong>&#8211; Hopefully we see them on the field soon. Readers are anxious to see if they belong.<br \/>\n9. <strong>Savala Rounders<\/strong>&#8211; The weekend was rough but they were missing a few large pieces. They will be penalized down this week however.<br \/>\n10. <strong>Panteras<\/strong>&#8211; Always a quality opponent. The victory this weekend gets them in the door but only to 10. Jesse Duncan is a Team Rainey outfielder. When he decides to be a full time Pantera pitcher, they will jump a few spots.<\/p>\n<p>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Editor&#8217;s note:  Feel free to chime in with your own comments on the latest set of rankings by clicking the comments link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Fastpitchwest Forum, &#8220;Rumor Central&#8221; 2006 Rumor Central &#8211; March 27 California Top 10 After a much anticipated start to the season we found many good games and some new teams on the radar.
