Detroit Giants are first team in CENTRAL ("...and first in the hearts of America -- these lovable scrappers have wormed thier way into the hearts of every red-blooded, patriotic American with their brand of 1950s style baseball! Go, Go, Giants!" (man, this team is SO not me)
Preseason predictions and assorted awards and observations:
*"Instant Rivalry" award -- NY White Sox vs. Chicago Red Sox
*"Hey! You stole my cookies!" award -- billings (snatched LAD from me ONE PICK PRIOR) and geneva jack (took Schmidt from his rightful place in the Giant IF).
*League batting champ -- someone from Chicago Red Sox.
*Fewest steals -- Detroit (without a doubt, the slowest team).
*Best ERA--unless the Expos do it, I'd say LABT, or someone else from the WEST.
*"Yikes" award -- Brett in Riverfront. Canseco and McGwire in the Murph.
*Most errors--Whoever starts at 3rd for my team (I'm seriouly thinking of Darrell Evans).
*Best DEF IF -- The St. Louis Angels (Joyner, Grich, Smith, Decinces [or Oberkfell] with Oquendo coming off the bench).
*Best offense, power, infield left side: Philly O's -- Ripken, Schmidt
*Scariest potential combo, IF, left side -- Larkin, Brett
*Best potential IF, if they had a 3B -- Giants : WClark, Whitaker, Trammell, and four guys named Joe).
The average ball park:
SINGLES 1-6 HR's 1-10 (Adam's move west to the Astrodome made the league more balanced).
