Las Vegas Recaps

Post by CC's Desperados » Sat Apr 09, 2016 12:08 pm

Here's a couple of articles I've done for Scout this week about a couple of drafts in the NFBC:

Unforetunately, they fall under the premium section. Here's a highlight from one team in the team-by-ream recap in the Platinum Legaue:

Team 1

This team punted saves as well while possibly falling short of a competitive target for steals.

Catcher: Buster Posey, Russell Martin

First Base: Carlos Santana, Justin Bour, A.J. Reed, Adam Lind

Second Base: Brian Dozier, Ian Kinsler

Third Base: Daniel Murphy

Shortstop: Marcus Semien

Outfield: Mike Trout, Jason Heyward, Gregory Polanco, Carlos Beltran, Ben Paulsen, Nomar Mazara, Gregor Blanco

This offense will get production at every position with batting average being an asset. The key for this team in steals will be a bounce back in stolen bases by Trout. When I look at this hitting roster, I only see three batters hitting in the middle of the batting order (Trout, Posey, and Santana) pointing to possible risk in RBIs as well.

Starting Pitching: David Price, Jordan Zimmermann, Yu Darvish, John Lackey, Ian Kennedy, Anibal Sanchez, Jose Berrios, Nathan Karns, Jake Peavy, R.A. Dickey, Marco Estrada, Adam Warren, Tom Koehler

With only one true ace, team one will have a tough time competing with the top teams in the league in ERA and WHIP. Wins and Ks should ranks at the top of the range while earning the minimum in saves.

I see enough talent and structure for this team to be in the hunt with a possible 100 point total.
