So this blog is still active and if Jason will kindly do some updating you'll never know it was from last baseball season. As long as you ignore the URL. I'll also post roto scores here each week as long as my team is competitive. It just gets depressing when they sux.
Since last night's draft is behind us I thought it might be a good idea to make our yearly predictions about how this season will play out, both in fantasyland and in real life. Here are my predictions about Battlefield Baseball 2!
Division 1 Rankings:
1. Ray Lankford Thunder (duh.)
2. Moose Tacos (Crazy pitching & CarGo)
3. Harry Doyle (New guy creepin on the come up)
4. Champions of America (This team could really go either way)
5. Jim Abbotteers (Only because this team looks a lot like my team from last year and that didn't go well)
Division 2 (Little League) Rankings:
1. Chin Music (Although a few too many White Sox for my liking)
2. Gilkey's Eyeballs (I think daily roster changes will benefit Luke most, i.e. he'll actually play this season)
3. HENNNDERSON! (Everyone else imagines Superintendent Chalmers yelling this right?)
4. ICanHazBaseball (Can't trust a guy who eats salt lines candy)
5. Jabberwocks (I refuse to believe you can win if you don't spend over $30 on at least one guy in the draft)
Of course in interdivision match-ups Division 1 will dominate landing 4 of the 6 play-off spots until you are all forced to bow down and accept Ray Lankford Thunder as your champion! Here's real baseball:

I'm not doing a full divisional breakdown, as I'm supposed to be working right now. But I wanted to get my WS, MVP, and CY picks out there.
ReplyDeleteWS: Boston over Atlanta
AL CY: Sabathia (backlash to recent strides in more advanced metrics and voters pick the only guy with 20 wins)
NL CY: Chad Billingsley
AL MVP: Adrian Gonzalez
NL MVP: Troy Tulowitzki
I looked back at last year's predictions (which I apparently forgot to do) and a surprising number of you (I think 3 out of 5) picked both CY winners correctly, and 4 out of 5 got Halladay right. Nice work fellas.
And for the record, I spent more than $30 on several players. A solid year is ahead for the Jabberwocks.
Jeff, according to the draft results on Yahoo!, the most you spent was $28 on Clayton Kershaw.
ReplyDeleteReally? How the hell did I get Justin Verlander so cheap?
ReplyDeleteThat's just being savvy.
