The 2019 Version:\u00a0\u00a0The Plaidsox have just come off an amazing stretch of winning seasons \u2013 5 amount with 3 trips to the Finals and winning 1 of those.\u00a0\u00a0So, the Plaidsox decided to step aside last year for a resting period and reload for another run at the Title.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those of you interested — this is how their players did in BDB 2019. it was certainly a down year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2020 Version? That’s a different story. Season Prediction:\u00a0\u00a090-76.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Plaidsox feature a top notched pitching rotation as well as a well-stocked pen.\u00a0\u00a0Heading into the offseason, the pitching staff was seen as a strength for the team, and the lineup was seen as easily fixable with some tried and true spare parts.\u00a0\u00a0In came Brandon Belt, Dominic Smith, and Jeimer Candelario (although young they have not been considered top of the line prospects) — but as owner Ryan Sambrook has been quoted as saying \u2013 \u201cthere\u2019s nothing that beats out potential as performance\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mookie Betts continues to pay dividends for the team, along with fellow draftee Dansby Swanson and newcomer Ely Jimenez.\u00a0\u00a0Although not as proficient with the bats, Matt Chapman and Kevin Kiermaier continue to provide value with the glove.\u00a0\u00a0Look for some of the veterans performing well in 2020 to be used as trade bait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its a tight division, and both of the two top teams are hungry to win. It will be interesting to see who makes the most impactful trades during the season to separate themselves from the other. Playoff bound for certain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hope for the Future \u2013 Not a lot of top of the line talent here, but picks could be replenished if team stumbles during this season and doesn\u2019t reach full potential. The reality is, who cares about the Future… when the Future is NOW. Look to Sacramento to continue their re-stocking, trading and clawing to stay on top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
