They finished a very respectable 90-72 and I think a big part of that is there fielding ability and use of the pitching staff. What are your thoughts on the lineup. They are a very flexible team with very high fielding players. Also one of the most rookie heavy teams if not the most rookie heavy team.
Bench
The interesting thing that people will see right away is the way the pitching staff was used and some new elements nobody is use to. Including a starting pitcher with 1IP and a reliever with 4IP. Should be fun to play with... and oh by the way they had the CY Young on their team. Who you drafting.
Bullpen
Hmmm a very interesting team indeed. But I like them. I am very interested to see them going into 2019. Obviously, Pham has already called out the fan base and they don't seem to be relocating any time soon. What are your thoughts? You drafting any of these players?

ReplyDeletethank you
DeleteIt's wild they finished with 90 wins this year
ReplyDeletei thought the same thing
DeleteNot a lot of power, not a lot of power... but with those on-bases and fewer outs, you don't need a lot of power.
ReplyDeleteLove the bullpen; Yarbrough is my dream mop-up reliever.
they are interesting
DeleteMallex Smith, great card, would love him on all my teams
ReplyDeletemallex and wendle are my top 2 non snell cards
DeleteToo bad Kiermaier had a down year.
ReplyDeleteThis team is really scrappy, and I see several draftable players (Mallex, Pham, Robertson, Snell, Yarbrough)
id have diego over yarbrough
Deletei just noticed mallex smith is missing a 6 on his chart
ReplyDeletewoa good catch. i will update this.
DeleteDo you have a release schedule for the '18's?
ReplyDeleteI really want you to be THE Jeff Nelson.
DeleteRight now we are doing 1 per week. AL then NL. But we are trying to increase the rate. Just takes awhile. Next up is rockies. Followed by angels.
DeleteAwesome! Been looking forward to those teams. Putting together my draft board as they come out.
ReplyDeleteBob, first off, thanks for starting this project as this is incredible work! Couple questions: 1) how would you recommend printing these to make them look as official as possible? 2) Any price point you would take to print/create them all and ship them? Would love to contribute for all the hard work! Thanks!
ReplyDelete1) I recommend if you are doing it yourself printing on heavy cardstock and using old strat cards as the backer then slipping them into a sleeve. 2) sadly we arn't allowed to take any money for them at all with all the copyright laws etc wish we could. not sure of any work arounds at the moment
