Yorkshire: 82.2 WAR \/ .387 wOBA<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the team all team\u2019s measure up to or wish to be. I know, the fans in Yorkshire don\u2019t know what to think. Winning usually comes from that \u201cother\u201d team in England. With Booming bats like Acuna, Freeman, Tatis, Machado \u2026 this team is now. On the mound the team added Bundy and Ryu to Cole and Giolitto! What a season this is going to be for the Moor Hens. Rumours are floating that they are already at work on the expansion of the stadium to fit in the \u201cFootball\u201d crowd for the season. This is the team to beat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sacramento: 68.8 WAR \/ .345 wOBA<\/p>\n\n\n\n
68.8 WAR? What in the world? What gives? The team only has a .345 wOBA, how in the world can it be that high? Other than Betts, the team doesn\u2019t seem so intimidating, but this team has \u201cD\u201d. The rest of the talent comes from the pitching staff. Newcomer Burnes, supported by rookie Urquidy and a couple of Vets who seen to get no respect in Nola and Gonzales, and this team contends. What makes this team even more intimidating, is their two first round draft picks. Looks for a Myers \/ Belt or Smith to end up on this team with a few other spare parts, and all of a sudden Yorkshire has some competition. It could be a dogfight until the end!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fort Worth: 51.5 WAR \/ .341 wOBA<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fort Worth was the Cinderella of the Ball last season, upsetting Montreal before going onto lose in the Divisional Finals. The difference between this year\u2019s team and last year\u2019s team, is that last season they were built on hitting, this season they are built on pitching. Look for this team to grab a few more bats to improve their situation, and you know, they might be able to recapture last year\u2019s magic. If not, plenty of talented arms to trade for the next season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nassau: 48.2 WAR \/ .361 wOBA<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This team reminds me of the Cleveland Indians, we are talking of the \u201cMajor League\u201d Movie Team.\u00a0\u00a0The team is made up of some flawed hitters, like Cerrano, who can go deep, but suffer from lack of defense (Ozuna).\u00a0\u00a0The rotation is like Harris, a bunch of old guys trying to recapture past glory, (Price) made actually still hurt for the season (Sale).\u00a0\u00a0They also have a Japanese import who will only be with them for one season in Tanaka and of course, there is plenty of Ricky Vaughn imitators in Chapman, Kimbrel and whoever else MacPhail adds to the bullpen.\u00a0\u00a0And of course, the team would not be complete without their fearless leader Jake Taylor, who looks a lot like Miguel Cabrera, just hoping for one more season in the sun<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Look for this team to score runs, drop a lot of late inning games and provide some last-minute nail biters.\u00a0\u00a0Oh yeah, do not put much faith in the draft, ownership stocked up on a lot of late round picks to supplement their infatuation with older players.\u00a0\u00a0They could have some trade bait available to them, but hopefully they will stand pat on talent and look forward to\u2026 well tomorrow is today for MacPhail so whatever works at the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
