Perfect Game Crosschecker’s Summer 16 is always a cool feature. It’s a ranking of the top summer league teams in the country, regardless of league. Obviously, it doesn’t mean anything, but it’s a neat thing to check out.
It’s also nice that the Cape League is always prominently featured.
But the most recent Summer 16, which came out July 1, has a different look. The Vienna Senators of the Clark Griffith League claimed the top spot. As PG Crosschecker’s Allan Simpson notes, it’s the first time in the history of the Summer 16 that a Cape League team hasn’t resided at the top.
This doesn’t say anything about the talent level on the Cape. Just something about how that talent is dispersed. There’s parity across the board, and because of that, no team has been able to separate itself.
The good thing? The parity should make for a wild second half of the season. Even if it’s not played out atop the Summer 16.
