Every year since 1998 I've been keeping track of team's "core ages", which I classify as their keeper list plus their 1st or 1st & 2nd round picks. The Arlington Arthropods are the league's youngest team this year, followed by the Mechan Syndicate. The Termites, Brouhaha, Shriners and Piazza's continue to favor a veteran bench, fielding core teams that have an average age of 30 or more.
