The 2011 draft is over and The Baltimore Black Knights are heading to Spring Training with more unanswered questions than they were hoping for."This could be a very long year," Weaver told reporters."Braun/Howard and Markakais will have to be all stars if the team hopes to play in the postseason." Weaver addressed the needs of the team with the picks he had but they also had to pick for 2012 as the team traded away their 1-4 picks in 2012.
We needed a SP and were very happy to land Rookie GUILLERMO MOSCOSO and add him to the rotation of Lincecum/C.C.Sabathia /Lilly and Stauffer.The Bullpen needed a lot of work and the new staff will all have a chance to compete for various roles.The Black Knights have added new faces,Grilli/Pestano/Brydak/Paulino and Lincoln.Veterans Brain Wilson and RAMON RAMIREZ are the only 2 returning players from last year.
Hitting shouls not be a problem as the team will boast around 5 positional starting players close to .300+ BA. Look for LF Ryan Braun (.322/33/111) to have a stellar season for the Knights.Braun is aso rated a AA threat on the bases and many fans are hoping for a 40/40/40 (2B/HR's/SB) season.Here is the projected line-up for the 2011 season:
1:JASON BOURGEOIS CF (.294/AA) vs LHP/ CHRIS DENORFIA CF (.277/B) vs RHP.
2:MARCO SCUTARO SS(.299/.358 OBP)
3:Ryan Braun LF(.322/AA)
4:Ryan Howard 1B(33Hr's/.346OBP)
5:N.Markakais RF(.284/.351 OBP)
6:JASON JARAMILLO C (.326/.356 OBP)
7: RUBEN TEJADA 2B (.284/.360 OBP)
8:Martin Prado 3B (.260/13/57)
9:GARRETT JONES DH (16 HR's/58RBI)
It will be a tough grind 84-88 wins tops and with 93+wins to even think of making the play-offs....the Knights will need "LUCK" and great pitching to come close.Hitting should not be a problem.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL TEAMS IN 2011....... OUR 5TH SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!
