The NYSL will not be part of the CBL or the DV Mountain Lions. The NYSL has committed their efforts to their own league and decided the costs among other things made commiting teams in far West Texas was not reasonable in 2010. It had been planned they would provide two teams, Lions and West Texas Road Hogs, the Road Hogs were dropped and Coastal Kingfish moved operations from Houston to El Paso. The Kingfish will be owned by Andrew Dunn and Coastal Baseball LLC out of Houston. Dunn, also owns the Las Cruces Vaqueros. The DV Mountain Lions will be Ron Baron's (CBL President) project. Both teams will be based out of El Paso, but are not placed there to be any sort of competition with the Diablos (which they could never provide any competition). I am currently finding out where the teams will play in El Paso, but if you look at the schedule, which has been out for a few months now (revisions being made), neither team will host many home games. The Kingfish will have a very low operation budget in 2010, travel is very minimual, and players will not be paid. Players not paid got me too, but they have hired a manager (Ricardo Crespo) who has ties to the Mexican League, and many players south of the border have expressed intrest in the Kingfish, if for know other reason than playing ball in the US. I am pretty sure no team will play in Cohen, as the costs would be too high.

Interesting side note, the Vaqueros will play exhibition games on Tuesdays against Mexican teams, as well a Spring Training Game against the San Angelo Colts.
