I can't say I'm at all displeased with the year so far. Even between this sim and last my winning percentage went UP from .684 to .690.
The two rookies are still performing well. Walker has an OPS of .972. The surprise rookie, Guillaume Fournier in CF hitting .305 and stealing bases. I'll take it.
Five starters are now hitting over .300 on the year. Geter - .350, Walker - .331, Satterlee - .317, Hukill - .320, and Fournier - .305.
On the pitching side the story is Villatoro and the bullpen.
Villatoro now has 12 wins on the season and is on pace for 27 for the season. That would be a new high for him and leave him with 187 wins at the end of his year-29 season. The Favorite Toy gives him an anticipated win total of 336.
The other 'old men' of the team, Hukill and Valdes are doing equally well.
Hukill is hitting hitting .320 with an OPS of .996. He's on pace for 37 home runs and 110 RBIs. His favorite toy number now project out to 587 home runs and 1027 RBI.
Valdes is hitting for more power this year. He's at .289 with an OPS of .991. On pace for 48 homers and 123 RBI. His favorite toy projections are 672 (!!!) homers and 2040 (!!!!) runs batted in.
I can live with those number if that's what happens!
Will a below .500 team make the playoffs thanks to the three-division format? No disrespect to Matt and the Maui players, who I think are better than they've played so far, but there are only three teams in the league with a worse record. It just happens that all three are in Maui's division.
It's one of the perils of four-team divisions. See 2010 NFC West as another example. And that's speaking as a Seahawks fan.
Let's see...

The Seahawks have fans?
ReplyDeleteI know all of those words but not in that order.
My team is above .500 ... and I'm in last place.
ReplyDeleteCan we contract the Signorino division, please? :)
