Long promised, occasionally attempted, never finished (well, to be fair to me, I did this many, many seasons back). Now that I've got a few future underperformers in the minors, figured let's get this done. Could just ask foolsgold, he's probably more aware of what you have in your system than you are. We'll work alphamabetically by team city, because that's how team rosters lists. I will look at your system and maybe make a comment or two or none, list a coupla notable prospects should you have any. So here goes...
Anaheim River Rats:
Wouldn't describe the system as stacked, best prospect might be Pepe Castillo. Jane's nephew Dolf Fonda won't set anyone on fire but is on the cusp of a brief, mediocre ML career.
Arizona Outlaws:
Rigo Rosario might be future Gold Glover but will not win a Triple Crown, I'm very confident about that. Not much else of note, maybe Edgar Soria, and some reliever in AAA.
Atlanta Bullochs:
Pretty loaded AAA squad featuring Jeremy Williams. Best prospect in the organization, but a few other future Major league pieces, but, aside from possibly in a good year Shane McGehee, no real All Stars.
Baltimore Terrapins:
Julio Manzanillo brings some thoughts to mind. High control and velocity ratings, combined with a high first pitch seem to over come mediocre splits. But low control, velocity and first pitch effectively mitigate high splits. Some say velocity means nothing, but I dunno. I'd rather have an opposition batter rung up. Some say an out is an out whether it's a ground out, pop fly, or strikeout. Seems like commonsense that keeping a ball out of play via a strikeout has many benefits. Then again, I suck at this despite a 138 IQ. For some reason Vin Aquino is mired in AA, and would be an interesting counter point to Manzanillo, also stuck in AA, and so far winning the statistical analysis, and undermining my little rant. Looking at the rest of the system, the future is now for Baltimore.
Boston Massacre:
tom paid 18.2 mil for Wascar Cruz , my 0 adv thinks that might have been too much, his current has a long way to go. Not really seeing a rich system despite having high draft slots for a couple of seasons now, but drafts have been weak. The future is the future, for this organization.
Buffalo Mooseknuckles:
Bill Parrish is the most notable player in the minors. With a durability rating of 3 and health of 2, apparently he will be wheeled out on to the field in his iron lung for a half of a pitch should circumstances warrant. This gut shouldn't just retire, he should pull the plug and donate his organs. What an inspiration. Recent owners haven't done great job acquiring young talent. Hopefully nyaggie can get this thang turned around, yo.
Chicago Black Holes (AL):
My 0 advance sees Frank Carey as a very good future major Leaguer. Current ratings aren't indicating anything exceptional but a definite future MLer. Not sure why Ronald Simon festers in AAA. Would be a solid hitter for most AL teams. Maybe I should make an offer.
Chicago Wet Bandits (NL)
When Yamil James and Raul Alcantara are the best players in your minors, and your ML payroll is 120 mil plus season after season, the future was then.
Cincinnati Reds:
The AAA squad is 23-5 and features Frank Stammen and Burke Hand. Both solid, but unspectacular players. best prospect might be Shelley Gray.
Fargo Fainting Goats:
Ummm, why is Pete Blake still in Rookie ball not getting any playing time, thus hindering his development?
Honolulu Lepers:
There's a couple guys in AAA that could fill a ML roster spot, and I'm seeing Morris Truman as the franchise's best prospect, but then I just smoked a huge rock of crack. Whoooooo!
Houston Colt 45s:
Due to much regular season success, the cupboards are bare.
Iowa City Cornish-Hens:
Kennie Charlton is the organization's top young prospect. Ya, I know.
Jackson Generals:
Harold Anderson?
Jacksonville Jimmies:
Whoa, Livan Quixote and Ben Barnes and Yamil James and Louie Graham highlight the system and dominate in AAA.
Kansas City Faggots:
Several ML roster fill type prospects, but the full rebuild is in it's first season. Check back in a couple seasons.
Louisville Madness:
A few decent to good pitching prospects in Trevor Burkhart mould.
Milwaukee Ueckers:
Once upon a time the rest of BPF played the role of prospect acquirer for Milwaukee. Drafted a stud? Better trade him to Milwaukee the next season. Landed a monster IFA? Off to Wisconsin he'd go. Seems those days, are of the yore variety. I am liking Jose Roque and Artie Locke. Huh, whaddaya know, both acquired by trade.
Minnesota Purple People Eaters:
Not much to email your Mom about. This franchise most remarkable aspect is it's ML record, season after season with a seemingly non-exciting roster. Great management.
Montgomery Barons:
Harry Mateo had a cup of coffee with the ML squad last season, but isn't an earth shaker. Not much beyond him. Work to be done.
Montreal Maroons:
A complete change in mindset has left change in the number of prospects in the system. Gone are the days of 20 mil budgets and near predatory trading. Big payrolls and big win totals means hard times in prospect acquisition, and there's nothing to write about. I used to drool over the Maroons prospects.
New Britain Rock Cats:
Lonnie Martin heads a not very deep list.
Oklahoma City Victory Dolls:
Ummmm...pass, I guess.
Next!
Richmond Informers:
See Oklahoma City.
Salt Lake City Warriors:
Who cares about prospects with that squad.
San Francisco Barking Seals:
Andrea McCartney remains pre-op, but has cast aside his birth name, Andrew, and is now living as a woman, outside of the diamond. You go, Girl!
Scottsdale Storm:
Under Construction.
Sioux Falls Canaries:
Under even more construction. Guess there's Kevin Bridges to get mildly less than excited about. Help wanted. Been a tough stretch the past few teams. Up until OKC, it had taken me three hours, the last six team have taken all of 12 minutes.
Syracuse Killer Beavers:
One would describe Clay Phillips as a stud. Beyond him, meh.
Tampa Bay Grays:
There's a couple relief prospects, but not heck of a lot else.
Vancouver Coastals:
Despite an injury, and horrendous mismanagement early this season, Wandy Telemaco remains a good long relief/swingman prospect. IFAs Diory Figureoa and Carlos Iglesias and Al Montero look forward to sucking hardcore in the bigs.
Wichita Jack Straws:
Ivan Tejada will pitch. That's about it.
It's about goshdarn time we start having decent drafts again. Hope you enjoyed my extened brain fart, and I thank you for your patience. In the highly unlikely event that I missed anything or anyone trade chat me and I may, or may not, make the corrections. Next up: another all timey all BPF team.
All the World News that's unfit for print.

AL - Where Dreams Go To Die
There will be no pictures or videos or patting on the back. I will tell you how much your team sucks, and you will fucking like it! Unless your team is good, in which case I might say something nice and post a picture of a girl in her underwear. But don't hold your breath.
AL North
Farrrrrgo - A losing record since Season 4, shouldn't you have enough prospects at some point that you actually start winning games? 74 wins last year would normally be a down season for most teams, but it was a 14 game improvement for the Goats, and the most wins since S16. Wooooo, someone go to Safeway and buy the wine that ISN'T on sale, we're partying tonight!! Allensworth is good. The bullpen and one or two starters are decent. Sub-par defense. A lot of slap hitters, but no real power to speak of. Letting a couple of Type A's walk away doesn't help the cause either. It's gonna be another long one.....not that kind of long one, get your mind out of the gutter, sergei
Prediction: 65 wins
Montreal - 118 wins last year, but no world series championship, HA!! Of course the AL solution is to throw more money at it, so mira bumped up his budget an additional $10M from last year. This is what I've been waiting for! The Maroons have no scouting, no prospect budget, they can't ditch advanced scouting fast enough, and only two guys on the ML roster are making the minimum, while eleven guys are at $5M+/year. I'm too lazy to do the math, but I would guess the average age of the ML roster is around 30. It's coming to an end. Just you wait and see. But in the meantime, they're on the short list for another WS appearance. Lots of pitching and hitting and defense, there aren't too many holes here. Again, sergei, come on......
Prediction: 115 wins
Milwaukee - Only 93 wins last year, the lowest since S14. Womp womp. It's funny how Montreal and Milwaukee have had similar results over the last ten seasons, but the trajectory and methodology are entirely different. Lots of scouts for Milwaukee, lots of cash and date rape drugs in the pockets of Milwaukee. Despite the announcement of a "rebuild," the Ueck's are still stacked. Starting pitching will be their only real achilles, with very few innings-eaters in that category. The hitting and defense are still tits.
Prediction: 98 wins
Minny - 94 wins last year, which put them ahead of Milwaukee in the division. ruffles has been quietly putting together a good squad that has made the playoffs two of the last three seasons, and even won an opening round series a while back. Not too shabby for a team that still has a slight odor of domi on it. Above average pitching, above average defense, but only average hitting, they're not going to wow anyone in any category. But they might win the IFA duel in that division.
Prediction: 97 wins
AL East
Chicagooooooo - Ugh. 54 wins for a team that won the division in S18. What. The. Fuck. For the record, I'm looking very hard for some redeeming qualities on this team. Willy Lyons is decent. Charles Alston could be worse. They do have a lot of power at the plate. Buuuuuut, that's all I've got. When does football season start?
Prediction: 58 wins
Syracuse - The Killer Beavers is still one of my favorite team names in this world. 79 wins last year, just a tick up from the year before, but a 30 win improvement over jmarkey's final season. Did we kick him out, or did he leave voluntarily? If we had let him keep tanking, he's got a team in another world that he tanked the shit out of for a few seasons, and now they're playing .600+ ball. Lesson learned, kids. Tanking works. The Beav's have some great pitching, I'm quite jealous of it. The hitting ain't too shabby, but the defense leaves a little to be desired. They'll win the division again, because it's full of tards and you've just gotta hang around .500 to pull that off.
Prediction: 84 wins
Cincy - First season, and mwhelan already has his * up for next year. I like the balls on this guy. The team won 73 last year, and whelan responded by upping the budget so he could sign some more names. I don't think the pitching staff is quite deep enough to keep up with Syracuse, and the defense is borderline embarrassing, but the offense is decent. Second place? Sure, why not.
Prediction: 75 wins
Louisville - Why do I feel comfortable with Cincy holding on to second in the division? Well there's Chicago, and then there's Louisville. Granted, after three truly atrocious years, the Ville should be due for a bump up after a slight increase in performance last season. 67 wins was a 22 game improvement over the prior season. But then jubs ended up with the same budget as last season, and gave up draft picks to sign an aging Dead Crosby. That's not a typo, he might be Dead by the end of the season. The pitching and defense aren't horrible, but the batting is lacking, and I think we'll see something similar to last season.
Prediction: 70 wins
AL South
Houston - 104 wins last season, but an early departure from the playoffs. I'm not sure if I've ever seen anyone with 0 in all of the scouting categories. Joe, you've gotta let us know what your draft board looks like. The pitching is still quite solid, the defense will get the job done, and the hitting is scary. Four guys hit 40+ HR's last season, and they should at least equal that many this year, if not add a fifth guy to the group. Yikes.
Prediction: 98 wins
Monty - Sometimes, throwing money at the problem isn't the solution. A big budget last year yielded just 64 wins, so of course the same budget was adopted this season. It almost worked for ghutton, but didn't work for bagwell, and now they have both moved on. Let's see if it pans out for brad in his second season. So far, so good, as the Barons made three big Type A signings during the winter. Coleman gives them immediate legitimacy on the mound, while Campos and Quinlan help an already-decent offense. News Flash: Alejandro Lee is NOT dead!
Prediction: 78 wins
Richmond - FINALLY, a winning season. 87 wins last year, the most since S13, which was also the last time they finished above .500 for a season. Very good pitching, but slightly below average hitting, and defense to gobble up whatever the pitchers can't get out, these guys don't suck. Quite an endorsement, I know. If Montgomery is winning more, those wins have to come from somewhere, and I think it'll be Richmond.
Prediction: 78 wins
Kansas City - If you play for one of these teams and have a two week block where you play at home, and then have away series at the other three cities, is there a worse way to spend that time? Say what you want about the AL North, but the cities in this South division are just horrible. What were we talking about? Oh yeah, the KC fags. Up and down, up and down (put your mind in the gutter now, sergei), history says they should be on another sub .500 season, and the budget sort of predicts that as well. What predicts it even more are the ratings of the players. Only seven guys on the ML roster above 70 for their overall. My AAA team might have better overalls. A very good bullpen, but nobody wants their setup guys coming in during the 4th inning, which might happen with these starters. A couple of studs on offense, and an above average defense will keep this team floating, but they'll just barely keep their chin above water.
Prediction: 69 wins
AL West
Vancouver - Very consistently above average the last several seasons, but no playoffs since S12. That's quite a drought. A lot of teams in the AL would be happy with 87 wins, but I think we heard "firesale" a dozen times anyway last year. One big trade went down, but otherwise the squad is very similar to last season. Pitching is decent, but not going to wow anyone. Defense might save their asses once in a while. On paper, the hitting looks good, but it is well known that hitters go to die in Vancouver.
Prediction: 86 wins
Honolulu - 72 wins last year, these guys haven't cracked .500 since IR entered the world. Maybe this year? Either they swung and missed on a FA, or IR is hoping to move a bunch of money into prospect for an IFA. Lots of defense, but pitching and hitting are very not-so-scary. Maybe the most boring team I've looked at so far.
Prediction: 65 wins
Salt Lake City - Damn mormons, I mean, Warriors. 116 wins last season, a big jump from the 90 they had the season before. Playoffs four years in a row now, and the budget is still reasonable at only $75M this season. I think I called them the New Montreal last season, and I'll echo that again this season. Just studs everywhere, and while they're all starting to get paid now, it hasn't gotten out of control. Very very good, I hate them.
Prediction: 112 wins
Scottsdale - Is griffey running this team, or not? 101 wins, then 72 wins. It's on auto-pilot, but it says he has logged in recently. What the fuck is going on out there? The budget got changed this year, and it looks like the Storm are in rebuild mode, with only 68M in salaries planned for this spring. Still quite a few studs, everywhere from the mound to the plate, but a little lack of depth in the field. They might be able to make one last push before a massive rebuild next year. Griffey just needs to pay attention. Focus!
Prediction: 85 wins
AL North
Farrrrrgo - A losing record since Season 4, shouldn't you have enough prospects at some point that you actually start winning games? 74 wins last year would normally be a down season for most teams, but it was a 14 game improvement for the Goats, and the most wins since S16.

NL Season 21 Preview! No girls, juts truth.
Hope NJ is working on an AL version. He better be...
NL North
At some point success must come to this franchise, right? Offense appears to be this team's strength, with several moderate power bats in the line-up. No real standout though. Good speed through the order will scrabble together runs, but expect a fair amount of solo shots. Pitching remains a weakness, and the defense won't give the arms much help. This squad should see a slight improvement over last season, but won't approach the playoff conversation.
I'm seeing another North title here, folks. Though that ain't sayin' a whole lot in the NL North.
A scrappy line up, will rely on small ball, not power, to manufacture runs. There's not a dominant starter in the rotation, so the bullpen will have to carry a heavy burden. Christopher Garcia is looking for season 19 form as opposed to 20. Defense is marginally sub adequate, shortstop being a concern.
Well Toto, we're not in Cincy anymore. dhomard hopes to shake off a long, long history of crapulence in WKRP-land. Man, what is it with this division and scrappy line-ups? Again, not a lot of power, just a classic NL line-up. Pitching looks to be a slight notch above the other division mates. Bill Towers is, probably, the staff ace. Defense is fairly solid. The Jack Straws will give Iowa City a battle for the title.
Once upon a time, this was a good and noble franchise. A world series championship tea, even. Today: uh, not so much. Wearing boots and stepping in the shit, is jibe. Good luck, son. In a word: yeeesh. But millions shaved off payroll, thing s can start to be turned around. Again a mostly low power, high speed line-up, with lots of patience. Pitching=problems. Not awful, but won't the team won't win a lot of games depending on the hurlers. Defense is pretty solid, which will slightly mitigate the weakness of the staff. Hehheh, I said "weakness of the staff".
PREDICTIONS:
IOWA CITY 83 WINS
WICHITA 81
SIOUX FALLS 70
NEW BRITAIN 62
NL East
Welcome nyaggie, hope your brought patience. Looks like a North division team. A line up pretty strong against sothpaws, with a little bit of pop.Junior Hoffman was added via trade, and that's a plus. As are the signings of Zeus Brock and Weldon Aspromonte. Pitching is what it is. Not great, but not terrible. Definitely won't carry the team, but the defense helps.
131.5 million bucks in payroll. Let's see what that bought jstnklly. He brought in Bud Perez via free agency and The Chief via trade. Cormier could never get it together for me, but I'm sure will flourish under another owner. This is a fairly decent line-up, and it needs to be with the pitching it has. So far, the NL teams I've looked at have had pretty similar pitching, actually. Rotation is, in fact, solid 1-2-3. Very good fielders, as well. Probable wildcard contender.
Bring comfy shoes when playing Boston. Good chance you'll be doing some walking with the pitching on this team. The hitting appears to be improved over last season, and follows the NL pattern of hard scrabble run production. Trade acquisition Wilfredo Alonso makes his ML debut this season and adds a second power bat to the line-up. Defense is a definite strength. Definitely.
World Series champs. I remember when root and I discussed our shared playoff ineptitude. root has since won two titles to my none. Looking at his team, I'm not sure how he pulled that upset off. Oral sex, perhaps? Not saying it's a bad team, but that Montreal squad was a beast. Line-up features guys who can get on base and double each other in. Best pitching I've seen so far, and bolstered by a very solid defense. The Terrapins should handily win the division again.
Baltimore 94 wins
Chicago 87
Buffalo 73
Boston 69
NL South
Another prototypical NL team. Not outstanding in any single department, and the goal looks to be continued rebuildance. keith has been successful at slashing payroll fom 95 mil his first season to 73 to the current 46. Of course wins have also plummeted, 85-68-? respectively. Drafting and IFAs will be more the focus. There's enough with this squad to be competitive, in the always tight Senior Circuit, but at the lesser end of success. The future is later in Tampa Bay.
Finally! A team boasting a legitimate big ass bat in Emil Manuel. Why he's only a .269 career hitter is beyond me, but it's nice to know there's other Chiefs and Lunsfords out there. Wonder how many offers mira and foolsgold have made for him. Strong line-up, and deep pitching staff after a flurry of free agent signings. Could be a sleeper team, definite wildcard threat. Defense isn't a strength, but the pitching should help minimize balls in play. Mmmm, balls in play.
Atlanta appears to be short on pitchers, but the guys he does have, possess rubber arms. A measly $35 mil. payroll for this perennial contender, and still a solid team. Very good defensively, featuring the best shortstop, glovewise: Delmon Patterson. Not sure this team will win 108 games, this season. Actually, they won't. Will be in the wildcard mix, for sure. Waiting for the call is Jeremy Williams which won't hurt.
Well, hello Gorgeous. Yikes, what a team. Has it all, man. Like, wow, man, Zoinks, even. Dare I go so far and say, jinkys. We are Scooby-doo and we are saying "ruh-roh". And all for 28.5 mil. That warrants a sincere, and hearty, "fuck you bnaggggs" Offense? Yep, loads. Pitching? Fo shizzy, my nizzy. Defense? Would you believe, affirmative, Captain? And Yamil James on call up alert. Goodness gracious. He's out mira'd mira. So far, and I don't think this will change, the top team in the NL. Did I say "fuck you bnaggggs", already? Oh I did. Nevermind.
JACKSONVILLE 103
ATLANTA 91
JACKSON 90
TAMPA BAY 63
NL West
Hear that huge sigh of relief? That's bbwink's pitchers collectively expressing their happiness and gratitude of getting the hell out of Denver. His pitching will need the help. Still in a hitter's park, but no where nears as dramatic. Bye-bye cartoon scores. Pretty typical NL line-up, serviceable defense. Nobody really stands out, so not much to say. If a better on paper team struggles and Arizona has a very good year, it might claim the last wildcard spot, but in my highly questionable vision, it's not likely.
From one podunk Southwestern town to another podunk Midwest (or is it South, or even, also Southwestern. Seriously what part of America is Oklahoma?) town. Basically one drawl to another. y'all drawl, eh. I don't know from which wretched spawn of Satan extruded this unholy piece of fetid shit from it's withered, slimy colon into the terlet that is BPF, but I cast thee OUT! Wait...what? OK, OKC whatta we got? Buck Cain is starting to decline, but is still better than you. Also features Davey Torres and Lance Foster for a trifecta within the trifecta. After those three there's not much else to get excited about in the order. Pitching and defense are fairly solid. Enough for another division title.
This is a competitive team, though just a notch below wildcard status. Midre Brandt, defending NL Cy guy, anchors the pitching staff, and Ismael Lunar provides power (and underperformance) to the line-up. Enough defense, to keep games close. Could surprise, either way.
This team provided me a great, and totally unexpected, pleasant surprise last season. This is a classic National League small ball team, utilizing speed and base path savvy to manufacture runs. Strong defensively, too. Kind of reminds me of the 80's Cardinals. Whitey Herzog, come back, I hardly knew ya. The pitching is, how shall I phrase it, less than accurate, aside from a couple arms. A patient line-up will see a lot of walks, Like Jon Lester last night. Six walks?! WTF? Oh well, typical Bosox fan, I'm bitching about a win. If this team repeats last season's success, that will also be a win.

At some point success must come to this franchise, right? Offense appears to be this team's strength, with several moderate power bats in the line-up. No real standout though. Good speed through the order will scrabble together runs, but expect a fair amount of solo shots. Pitching remains a weakness, and the defense won't give the arms much help. This squad should see a slight improvement over last season, but won't approach the playoff conversation.
 |
| ||||||
I'm seeing another North title here, folks. Though that ain't sayin' a whole lot in the NL North.
A scrappy line up, will rely on small ball, not power, to manufacture runs. There's not a dominant starter in the rotation, so the bullpen will have to carry a heavy burden. Christopher Garcia is looking for season 19 form as opposed to 20. Defense is marginally sub adequate, shortstop being a concern.
 |
| ||||||
Well Toto, we're not in Cincy anymore. dhomard hopes to shake off a long, long history of crapulence in WKRP-land. Man, what is it with this division and scrappy line-ups? Again, not a lot of power, just a classic NL line-up. Pitching looks to be a slight notch above the other division mates. Bill Towers is, probably, the staff ace. Defense is fairly solid. The Jack Straws will give Iowa City a battle for the title.
 |
| ||||||
Once upon a time, this was a good and noble franchise. A world series championship tea, even. Today: uh, not so much. Wearing boots and stepping in the shit, is jibe. Good luck, son. In a word: yeeesh. But millions shaved off payroll, thing s can start to be turned around. Again a mostly low power, high speed line-up, with lots of patience. Pitching=problems. Not awful, but won't the team won't win a lot of games depending on the hurlers. Defense is pretty solid, which will slightly mitigate the weakness of the staff. Hehheh, I said "weakness of the staff".
PREDICTIONS:
IOWA CITY 83 WINS
WICHITA 81

Welcome nyaggie, hope your brought patience. Looks like a North division team. A line up pretty strong against sothpaws, with a little bit of pop.Junior Hoffman was added via trade, and that's a plus. As are the signings of Zeus Brock and Weldon Aspromonte. Pitching is what it is. Not great, but not terrible. Definitely won't carry the team, but the defense helps.
 |
| ||||||
131.5 million bucks in payroll. Let's see what that bought jstnklly. He brought in Bud Perez via free agency and The Chief via trade. Cormier could never get it together for me, but I'm sure will flourish under another owner. This is a fairly decent line-up, and it needs to be with the pitching it has. So far, the NL teams I've looked at have had pretty similar pitching, actually. Rotation is, in fact, solid 1-2-3. Very good fielders, as well. Probable wildcard contender.
 |
| ||||||
Bring comfy shoes when playing Boston. Good chance you'll be doing some walking with the pitching on this team. The hitting appears to be improved over last season, and follows the NL pattern of hard scrabble run production. Trade acquisition Wilfredo Alonso makes his ML debut this season and adds a second power bat to the line-up. Defense is a definite strength. Definitely.
 |
| ||||||
World Series champs. I remember when root and I discussed our shared playoff ineptitude. root has since won two titles to my none. Looking at his team, I'm not sure how he pulled that upset off. Oral sex, perhaps? Not saying it's a bad team, but that Montreal squad was a beast. Line-up features guys who can get on base and double each other in. Best pitching I've seen so far, and bolstered by a very solid defense. The Terrapins should handily win the division again.
Baltimore 94 wins
Chicago 87

Another prototypical NL team. Not outstanding in any single department, and the goal looks to be continued rebuildance. keith has been successful at slashing payroll fom 95 mil his first season to 73 to the current 46. Of course wins have also plummeted, 85-68-? respectively. Drafting and IFAs will be more the focus. There's enough with this squad to be competitive, in the always tight Senior Circuit, but at the lesser end of success. The future is later in Tampa Bay.
 |
| ||||||
Finally! A team boasting a legitimate big ass bat in Emil Manuel. Why he's only a .269 career hitter is beyond me, but it's nice to know there's other Chiefs and Lunsfords out there. Wonder how many offers mira and foolsgold have made for him. Strong line-up, and deep pitching staff after a flurry of free agent signings. Could be a sleeper team, definite wildcard threat. Defense isn't a strength, but the pitching should help minimize balls in play. Mmmm, balls in play.
 |
| ||||||
Atlanta appears to be short on pitchers, but the guys he does have, possess rubber arms. A measly $35 mil. payroll for this perennial contender, and still a solid team. Very good defensively, featuring the best shortstop, glovewise: Delmon Patterson. Not sure this team will win 108 games, this season. Actually, they won't. Will be in the wildcard mix, for sure. Waiting for the call is Jeremy Williams which won't hurt.
 |
| ||||||
Well, hello Gorgeous. Yikes, what a team. Has it all, man. Like, wow, man, Zoinks, even. Dare I go so far and say, jinkys. We are Scooby-doo and we are saying "ruh-roh". And all for 28.5 mil. That warrants a sincere, and hearty, "fuck you bnaggggs" Offense? Yep, loads. Pitching? Fo shizzy, my nizzy. Defense? Would you believe, affirmative, Captain? And Yamil James on call up alert. Goodness gracious. He's out mira'd mira. So far, and I don't think this will change, the top team in the NL. Did I say "fuck you bnaggggs", already? Oh I did. Nevermind.

Hear that huge sigh of relief? That's bbwink's pitchers collectively expressing their happiness and gratitude of getting the hell out of Denver. His pitching will need the help. Still in a hitter's park, but no where nears as dramatic. Bye-bye cartoon scores. Pretty typical NL line-up, serviceable defense. Nobody really stands out, so not much to say.

PLAY BALL!
Hello all and welcome to Season 21, (hey we're legal!). We welcome a couple new owners, and see a move. Have a feeling Les Maroons of Montreal have a little revenge on the mind, after setting the BPF team single season wins record. Largely on the back of the best rotation I've seen in HBD. But that strength wasn't enough to overcome NL upstarts Baltimore Terrapin, who took the World Series in six games, despite finishing with 26 games behind Montreal.
We welcome Doubleday stalwart alumni jibe (Sioux Falls) and nyaggie (Buffalo), as well as mwhelan (Cincinnati). A couple of NL West team now have new homes. Albuquerque has packed up and taken Cain and co. to the home run suppressing effects in Oklahoma home stadium, and bbwinks has decided to give his pitchers a slight break and moved from Colorado to Arizona.Oh, and of course, dhomard has moved out of Cincy, and planted roots in Wichita.
And in the biggest development of all, The Chief, Heinie Cormier, has taken his complaint inducing arse to Chicago. So long, Chief, thanks for nothing.
Hall of Fame voting was extremely lacking, but I'm guilty of not pimping this season's vote. There's too many long term owners here, for there not to be inductees. Next season, kids, next season.
Some notable milestones to watch for are
, who sits 109 hits shy of 3,000. BPF's only player with 3,000 hits is
, and he is 18 dingers away from 700, but at his age, skill descent, and home park, he will retire short of that mark, but you never know.
