The Whitecaps will see just how much depth they have on their roster the next three weeks. Starting tonight (if the game isn't postponed for rain), they'll play games seven nights in a row, and are scheduled to play 18 of the next 19 days.
The Cape League has always been a challenge for players and managers alike on and off the field. Many of the squads still awaiting players from the College World Series and Team USA tryouts. We'll see how well the coaches can manage and the players can play day in and day out. The role of the benches and bullpens will be huge in this stretch of the schedule (as if they weren't important enough already).
If the teams gel well enough, we could see some playoff-level baseball in the first third of the season.
