After a one-year stint with MGU-78,  former Moscow Red Devils stars Evgeny Puchkov and Ilia Bogatyrev will play for the SKV team this season, joining many of their former Devil teammates. Having three RL championship titles and two minor-league seasons in the Angels system apiece, they can really bolster SKV's offense. The question is whether they manage to play more often than they did the last two years.
Also joining the SKV team is CSKA PVO center fielder Dmitri Golubev, another former Red Devil. This addition gives SKV probably the best defensive outfield in the RL.
The unofficial SKV roster for the 1998 season, as supplied by the team's manager Alexei Erofeev, is listed below.
