For this project, 50 season\u2019s worth of sims were played.  Each team\u2019s lineup was constructed with their top OPS at every position.  Lineups were constructed with the following rules:  top OPS player was slotted into the third spot in the order, first and second spot in the order is where the top two OBA players were placed, and the rest were slotted by slugging from 4th through 9th.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full rosters were used to construct the best lineups for both right handed and left handed regardless of the 25 man roster rule.  Players were also programmed not to play beyond their allotted time.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rotations and bullpens were constructed in the same fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

50 seasons were played, and the numbers presented to you here reflect the average results of all the seasons.  The results should prove to help individual teams their greatest needs in the draft and help them going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abbreviations are: RS, runs scored, RA, runs allowed, Diff., runs differential between scored and allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short commentary is provided for each team. Check out to see how you did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beaconsfield boasts one of the best offenses in BDB, and the second best pitching staff in the division.  Shoring up the bullpen will go a long way in improving this team.  A few tweaks here and there will improve the offense, but smart money is to improve the pitching.  Thing is, by the time they pick many of the top relievers will be gone.  Top two pitchers Yu and Bauer will pay off handsomely in the playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amazing thing about Ottawa is that there haven\u2019t been many moves made to improve the team.  Their starting staff is ACES – nobody under a 3.00 ERA.  Offensively though, there is room for improvement.  Ottawa still has some players to trade and picks to make in the early rounds, which could close the gap with Beaconsfield considerably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team needs to consider reloading or rebuilding.  Some talent on the team will make for appealing trade bait for those looking to push their way into the playoffs.  Long term talent, not so sure.  Addictions to trading may have cost this team in more ways than one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jenkins Division:  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One horse race in this division.  Last season\u2019s champs should sail to the playoffs.  Will need to make a few tweaks in order to repeat as champions.  Lame duck division makes the team better than it really is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team with the best chance to improve its situation.  Plenty of bats to hurt other teams, lacks an arm or two in the rotation and a few in the pen.  Draft should see some compensation here.  Expect to be actively seeking help at trade deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The draft will be key to the Spartans\u2019 chances of a postseason.  Team needs to transition to accumulating draft picks and young stars and now use picks to trade for immediate help.  The draft is rich this season, and Langley holds a significant amount of early round picks.  Could draft themselves to the playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total rebuild for North Bay.  The acquisition of Bellinger sends a signal to the fan base that rebuild will not be long in the making.  Team has the most promising shortstop in Tatis Jr, and veteran Jose Ramirez at third.  Both could be used as trade bait as Trappers seem assured of landing the first pick in next year\u2019s draft with Wander Franco.  Look for Trappers to keep eyes on future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stud team with room to improve.  Senior BDB Management thought Yorkshire was going to roll teams into playoffs, but public disarray in England, notably the de-crowing of Churchill and other landmark leaders led to some unimpassioned management?  Who knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, team made some early moves to shore up staff.  Draft picks available to add some talent to the team that should make its way to the finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team is described as \u201csneaky\u201d good by one of the competitors.  Weakened opposition in Fort Worth and Nassau provides an opportunity for the team to land a Wild Card spot.  Pitching and defense are still a thing in Sacramento, rumours are actually that they will be based in Bellingham, Washington going into the new season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen, you won\u2019t hear it from Nassau ownership, but this year\u2019s team, well they don\u2019t have much of a chance.  Don\u2019t get us wrong, the hitting is impressive, just not impressive enough.  How much can they really improve their pitching in the draft?  This publication believes they will keep pace with the others who will get Langley\u2019s cast offs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebuild or reload?  Who\u2019s kidding who?  Ownership doesn\u2019t do either, its a go for it attitude every season in Nassau, and why not?  If they fail, fans are just as happy to spend time on the tropical beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
