Well, it looks like there will be some plunder this year, mates.
Division 1st (+7) Overall 5th. Mag#23 w/29 games to play. Unless there’s a sudden complete collapse, we should cruise to the division and into the playoffs.
Essentially, the pitching is running at or near 1st in every category, as are the defensive stats (ZR and Defeff). The offense is shrug doing what offense does in a pitcher’s park, limping along. Runs allowed 1st Runs scored 13th. Pretty anemic O, but the defense is more newsworthy.
Cross Training:
Paul Dejong 74,-,18,68 (1,2,3,S)
Ozzie Smith 17,90,75,118 (1,2,3,S)
Ron Hansen -,42,88,104 (1,2,3,S)
Honus Wagner 4,29,98,104 (1,2,3,S)
Essentially any of the four guys can cover any of the positions. I’m screwing around a bit too much, really, but a couple of four-position defensive backup players will surely come in handy at some point down the road.
The series? Well, we aren’t the best team in the league, but we might have a shot. Not a good shot, looking over the top teams.
All things considered, not an awful first season.
