BP Kibitzes on our draft

Baseball Prospectus has stuck its nose in our business and offered its unsolicited and mostly worthless opinion about who won yesterday’s draft.  (Remember — BP is rating our entire rosters, as if we use every player just how they imagine we will.)

 

Team                                   Projected WAR for balance of season                       Gain during draft

Peshastin Pears                                      8.2                                                                     0.1

Portland Rosebuds                                8.1                                                                     0.1

Old Detroit Wolverines                        7.9                                                                     0.3

Pittsburgh Alleghenys                          7.6                                                                     0.5

Haviland Dragons                                 7.2                                                                     0.3

Canberra Kangaroos                             6.3                                                                     0.1

Kaline Drive                                           5.7                                                                       —

Flint Hill Tornados                               5.6                                                                      0.9

Cottage Cheese                                      5.4                                                                     0.0

D.C. Balk                                                 3.4                                                                     0.1

 

So —

  • The Tornados killed the rest of us in the draft, thanks to the Murphy Maneuver.
  • The Alleghenys collected some serious value after everyone else had dropped out.
  • The race atop the league should get tighter, but the Dragons should still win by a game or  more.
  • The Kangaroos are doomed to be flattened by a Pear juggernaut.
  • The Drive and the Tornados should continue their dogfight, and both should barely make it above .500.
  • The Balk will not quite reach the .500 mark.

  • You forgot to predict a future for the Cheese! We do have one, you know. 2016 isn’t looking too good, I must admit, but next year the Cottage contingent will amaze and astound.
