1. How has Manse recovered?
Manse PP has been the most talked about baseball club throughout the winter. Manse hired Toni Kohonen as the game manager, but at the moment the dispute between Kohonen and Mansen is proceeding to the district court hearing.
Kohonen is suing Manse PP for unjustified termination of his employment and is seeking compensation of over 120,000 euros. Next, Manse’s response to Kohonen’s subpoena application is expected.
Manse PP found a great replacement in the playmaker market when Jani Komulainen took charge in the fan. However, the team does not have a second game manager, so his duties are divided between experienced players.
It remains to be seen whether the background issues affect the players’ performances. Star player Juha Puhtimäki for example stated to Iltalehte (you will switch to another service)the training season has been special and heavy with various twists and turns.
Puhtimäki also admitted to the newspaper that Manse has made mistakes in reporting the matter. More important is how Manse learns from his mistakes.
Manse still lacks a rock-hard forward to the top. In recent seasons Juuso Myllyniemi and Tuomas Jussila were able to make up for this weakness, but with Jussila’s departure, the people from Tampere may already have difficulties with substitutions.
2. Tuomas Jussila and Joni Rytkönen
The most talked-about transfer of the baseball winter was made by Kempele’s Kiri, who acquired Finland’s best baseball player, Tuomas Jussila, to their ranks with no less than a 4+1-year contract. Kiri also became a hitter joker Ossi Meriläinen and Perttu Olli.
Jussila undoubtedly elevates Kempele to a potential semi-final team. Last year Tahko managed to hit a wedge between the toughest, but this year Kiri has a great chance to do so. There is quality in the team. Locker only Jani Lassila is a question mark.
Joensuu Maila also struggled in the transfer market. JoMa acquired Sotkamo from Jymy Joni Rytkönen and from Kouvola’s Ballonlöji Juho Hacklinin mixed Iiro Nokkalan.
Good young players have been brought up in Joensuu, but big players like Rytkönen, Hacklin and last season Top Kosonen the acquisitions show that the search for success on the eastern border is serious. The question will be who will score the runs?
3. Has Vimpel’s separation been resolved?
Vimpelin Veto’s young team was even superior in the men’s Superpesi last year. The team’s level was told by the fact that it was a multiple-time leader Mikko Kanala didn’t get responsibility in the top line.
In last year’s finals, Manse PP had no division in the end. Bet game manager Tomi Niskanen drove others as much as he wanted in exchange situations with a delayed start.
In simplified terms, this meant that Vimpeli tricked opponents with his substitutions and gained more space for his shots. When the pass went up, for example, the forward who was in the second base didn’t even leave, so the outfielders went to prevent possible breakthroughs. Then there was more space in the middle of the field, and Vimpeli got successful substitution shots right through the middle field.
At least Manse didn’t find a cure for this during the final series. However, one would imagine that this summer opponents have found ways to play against the delayed switch.
Despite that, Veto’s team is rock hard. The king of spikes Elmeri Anttila guaranteed to create payout situations, followed by Jokers Jukka-Pekka Vainionpää and Janne Mäkelä knock players home.
