t's a long way to October, but Wolfpack have won the first
round, winding up with the top ranked draft. Coach David's squad, led by Ryan
Braun, are projected to wind up with 53 category points. That's 31 more points
than Angels are projected to come up with. Coach Vaughn will have all year to
prove us wrong, but for now, Angels are slated to finish in last place.
While your squad might not quite be Wolfpack, you're not far
off, finishing in 2nd place. Your success came despite your outfielders, who
are projected to be the 3rd worst in the league. But at least you are better at
that position than...
Lumber Company, who have the worst outfielders in the
league. Coach Gene will have to trot out Michael Bourn, Carl Crawford, and
Marlon Byrd into the starting lineup. STUDOGS, meanwhile, are the class of the
league in that area, with outfielders Jacoby Ellsbury, Adam Jones, and Bryce
Harper.
Your strength is mainly in your infielders, who project out
to be the 2nd best in the league. That outstanding group is part of the reason
why you are expected to wind up in 1st place in the BA category.
Turning to individual picks, we tapped STUDOGS as having
made the best pickup with Joe Mauer in the 107th slot. He was projected to be
off the board a full 75 picks earlier. On the other hand, Angels made the worst
move of the draft. Coach Vaughn selected Yoenis Cespedes with the 8th pick,
which we pegged as a serious reach.
Your best pick up of the draft was Stephen Strasburg, who
was expected to have been selected in the 28th slot, but who you got with pick
#87. However, you mixed in some duds as well, the worst of whom was Billy
Hamilton, taken 32 spots ahead of what his average draft position suggests.
