bcb1213 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 1. Washington Tough division too judge here. Long term Washington pitching probably only has three or four years but it's legit. Tampa is too dependant on youngsters who haven't shown out yet and the San Antonio bullpen gives me the Willies 2. Yankees Was between Yankees and Buffalo for me. Yanks have better starters, Buffalo with the better pen. Came down to the lineups for me where I give Yankees slight edge 3. Colorado I don't understand the Pittsburgh votes... At all. Team has one excellent starter two good starters. A guy who pitched five games above AA with and Era of 6.5 and zeroes long relievers to eat the middle innings of an opener. Milwaukee I could understand. Three shortstops in the lineup is rough for me but they are all good players. Tooting my own horn here but I think I hands down have the best starting staff in the league. With lefty right in pen and Urias to step into a rotation spot down the road. Lineup has speed guys, power guys and just great hitters guys Cubs. Solid staff lights out bullpen. I can't get behind ohtani as a number one starter and Toronto back end of the rotation, Keller really struggled last year but there's a lot of potential. Least amount of questions in Chicago for me in a tight division Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcrell623 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Division A Hard not to like what the Missions did offensively Division B Love the Bison offense, but the pitching staff leaves some to be desired. Yankees have a great bullpen and solid lineup. Division C This is the toughest one for sure. Brewers the best all around squad, Rockies have the best starting staff, but Pirates lineup is scary from top to bottom. What I couldn't memorialize in the screenshots is their plan to use Yates as an opener. What they lack in young starting pitching they make up with an excellent bullpen. This was really close but I have to go with the Pirates. Division D Cubs, tbh I don't know how its so close even without my bias. My bullpen is the best there is, I have arguably the best player for BAC purposes (Acuna, but its still probably Trout), Tatis, and Baez. My pitchers are all relatively young, and all workhorse studs. I have #1 ovr pick Casey Mize waiting in the wings (also have #1 Adley Rutschman). Altuve may have cheated but to get him as late as I did is great, he will still be a top 15-20 player if not better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcrell623 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 @CHOMP_CHOMP @BillsGuy82 @kurgan still to vote. Missions and Yanks have it locked up in Division A and B regardless. Division C is tight. Rockies 4, Pirates 3, Brewers 1 Division D is a two man race between Toronto and Chicago both at 4 (although safe to safe Billsguy will vote for himself and Chomp will keep voting in the family as they have been doing ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcb1213 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I don't get it. Pirates have zero long relievers, Yates averages less than an inning an appearance and their fourth starter has five games over AA with an Era in AAA of 6.5. Who is pitching all these innings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is pitching all these innings I understand your position, I really do. We are gonna mash the ball alot, and hopefully pitching keeps us in. I think if you look at Yates as an opener, it changes things. My other guys may be old, but they are innings eaters. They do 3-6 and then we turn it over to what I think is a really good bullpen. I am clearly going to follow the group and vote for myself. I also think that Chi-town takes a close division behind the youth movement.

Also Yates is fine as a one inning opener nut you're missing what teams that use openers have. A guy that eats the next three or four innings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One bad start can make 4 good starts look bad.

When we do BaC on FBAS we draft projections. If you noticed all our teams are young and we vote for young teams because that's the actual basis of a BaC lol.

Using WAR on what 48 innings pitch and ERA on a rookie while were drafting projection is comical. Do you even follow advanced stats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
