The Washington nationals have faith in their team, and predict a solid victory over the hated forces of the National League, following a by a strong victory over icephoenix and his twins-stealing ways.

the preseason proj. clearly over-accounted for the presence of sicnarf loopstok on a roster and went haywire. I expect that I will normalize to the top of the division by the end of the season.

I think Seattle's projection is pretty good. I felt like I got excellent value in my SPs (finding Masterson and Hellickson when I did was fortunate). Like the actual Seattle Mariners, they will struggle to score runs but pitching will keep em in.

![]() Overall, DETROIT MEOW CITY pursued what the front office refers to as the Cookie Monster draft strategy: "PLAYER SMELL GOOD? PLAYER LOOK GOOD? PLAYER TASTE GOOD! ME DRAFT PLAYER OM NOMN OMNOM NOM NOMNOM NOM". DMC Starters C Wilson Ramos 1B Adrian Gonzalez 2B Brian Dozier SS Xander Bogaerts 3B Nolan Arenado LF Domonic Brown CF Carlos Gomez RF Chris Denorfia DH Yonder Alonso The widespread gnashing of teeth and rending of garments from the fake baseball press after DMC's high picks of Craig Kimbrel and Brian Dozier made General Manager Sexual Lorax kick the door off of his war room's hinges and demand to know what in the singular gently caress his draft staff thought they were doing. After answering every question put to them with "Intangibles," including "Where do you painthuffers want to go for lunch today?" the GM fired the entire staff and replaced them with a statistics monkey. THE BONCH OF Chris Young IF Darwin Barney C Max Stassi The DMC statmonkey helped a great deal with middle and late round draft selections, but the front office was not above whipping it with an extension cord every time it recommended taking a starting pitcher before the ninth round. This was due to the GM's insistence that all pitchers are interchangeable nutjob mutants and that there would be plenty left later on in the draft capable of throwing somewhere vaguely around home plate after the team picked up enough "real baseball players." Mutant Throwarms Rick Porcello Ricky Nolasco Dan Straily Felix Doubront Chris Tillman GM Lorax's wholesale hatefucking of the DETROIT MEOW CITY draft staff should in no way imply that he has anything but the utmost confidence in players taken high in his team's 2014 draft. In early workouts with the team, Brian Dozier especially impressed the GM, leading him to comment "I've started thinking of Chris Dozier as the heart of our team, the second coming of baseball Jesus. Not like a Hispanic Hay-Zeus, but the good Christian Jesus." More Mutant Throwarms To Be Arbitrarily Used Later In Games Zach McAllister Kevin Gausman Jason Hammel Tanner Scheppers Jared Burton Manny Parra Brad Boxberger Craig Kimbrel Note from DETROIT MEOW CITY legal: Please refrain from using the pejorative nickname "Tigers" when referring to DETROIT MEOW CITY. After settling the Otherkin v. Lorax case out of court in late 2012, DETROIT MEOW CITY has prided itself on taking the lead in proving that a mediocre sports team from a third world city can poo poo up a league without insulting zoo animals or headcases anywhere. Team trademarks authorized for use in the fake sporting press include "DETROIT MEOW CITY", "DETROIT (MC)", "DMC", and "The Meowtown Doziers".

I have a surplus of back end starters, so if you feel like your staff will be ineffective, email me at the username at gmail E: despite the lukewarm projections, I'm pretty happy with my teams upside. My pitching could be better but my offense is pretty great all around Politicalrancor fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Jul 14, 2014 |

Pander posted:I'm still trying to figure out where 155 homers will come from out of this bunch, especially in Detroit, unless everyone simultaneously enjoys career years. Ramos, Gonzalez, Alonso, Brown, and Gomez are all capable of 20+ (and that's being kind of conservtive with some of them). Dozier will probably hit 15-ish. That's 115, possibly more, so between Bogaerts, Arenado, Denorfia, and the bench you'd only need 40 more.

This is as good a time as any to introduce you all to your once and future rulers in a post that will in no way look like it was based on assertions from a shockingly small sample size by the end of the season.![]() ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywjX6AF6oVc The critics unanimously agree: These birds can ball! code:
The Lineup, presented by Busch Beer: Grab a Busch: ![]() C Yadier Molina my mom calls yadier molina her boyfriend when she watches the cardinals. does that make my step-father a "cuck"? i hope not. 1B Matt Adams "Mt. Adams" is a national treasure and is the white Prince Fielder if Prince Fielder wasn't a loving oval office and terrible at baseball now. 2B Chase Utley ![]() SS Jean Segura ![]() 3B Matt Carpenter generic white guy who is really good at baseball and does things. not cool, but good. LF Khris Davis this guy is young and hits home runs. spells khris like a loving idiot. CF Lorenzo Cain i would vote for anyone named lorenzo "the black chestnut" cain. RF Nick Markakis he's not bad at baseball. BN Stephen Piscotty - respect. BN Joey Gallo - hammerhead shark on cocaine. gorilla biceps. clubhouse guy. my nigga. BN Tony Cruz Jr. - loyalty. BN Pete Kozma - scrap. BN Sicnarf Loopstok - giving Nitram Odarp a run for his money. The prodigal son and future prince of fake baseball. phew! those boys can hit! expect em to crush some balls and shoot some dicks! Baseball is good stuff. now to the rotation, affectionately referred to as "the kush kadet klub". this bionic battery-powered batch of ball throwers have all basically been preserved with the embalming fluid of computer games and a ton of weed. Johan Santana is gonna pitch 160 innings or something. gently caress yall. ![]() SP1 Yovani Gallardo - legitimately good pitcher I think. SP2 Johan Santana - this pitcher brought to you by computer curare and the idiocy of the orioles SP3 Tim Lincecum - my favorite baseball player is on my favorite baseball team. thanks for letting my live out my fantasies boys. i wish we played the padres more. SP4 Drew Smyly - left handed dude. SP5 John Danks - BLOWING ON THAT DANK, THROWING THAT CUTTER LR (eSP) Guillermo Moscoso - a guy that learned a lot of japanese while in the nippon league. RHMR Kevin Quackenbush - a guy with a silly name. LHMR Zach Phillips - a guy with a forgettable name. RHMR Kyle Farnsworth - a guy that used to throw really fast. LOOGY Bryan Matusz - a guy. SU(7th+) Jason Motte - a guy that looks like a guy fieri (pronounced fee-etti) acolyte CL(8th+) Kenley Jansen - an all around good dude. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB5ceAruYrI ![]()

So I dave cameroned it and added up the WARs. 52 + my team's projected Zips 45.6 total WAR makes Colorado a 98 win team. Is everyone gonna be super-high based on this metric?
|

|
How does ZIPS project playing time? If it's ~600 PA for everyone then obviously you're going to overestimate your bench players.
|

My total innings looks about right (1230 1/3 for whole staff). I think PA are high (6710, about 516 for each player on average), so yeah that'd probably explain it.
