Hobson Stanford Denton Moore Grass Range Highwood Belt Power Geraldine Augusta Centerville Geyser The Associated Press The Pioneer League has been designated as a rookie-advanced baseball league, instead of just a rookie league, and that could mean a major change this summer for seven of its eight teams. The new designation will mean that all teams with working contracts with major league teams, or those with cooperative agreements with more than one major league team, will be able to have no more than 10 players on their rosters who are 21 and older. affected is the Salt Lake City Trappers, who are an independent team not affiliated with a major league club.

And at least one official is upset with that fact. Marty Scott, farm director for the American League Texas Rangers, the parent club of the Pioneer League Butte Copper Kings, says the new rule isn't fair. "We might as well give (the Trappers) the championship trophy every year before we start," he said. "It's a concern of ours that (leagues like the Pioneer) don't fit our needs anymore."
