SAN DIEGO, CA - San Diego closer <a href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=2999943" style="color: black;" target="_blank">Alex Domingo</a> inked a 5-year contract extension today the Where I'd Rather B's worth a reported 22 million dollars, ensuring the closer will stick around Southern California for many years to come.<br />
<br />
"I wasn't really sure that I wanted to stay in San Diego," Domingo commented, "but the team gave me 22 million more reasons to stay here! There's nowhere else I'd rather be!"<br />
<br />
Domingo has been strong out of the bullpen in his time with the Where I'd Much Rather B's. After coming over in a trade with Louisville (which sent power-hitting prospect <a href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=3983614" style="color: black;" target="_blank">Jose Palmeiro</a> to the now Jacksonville franchise), he went from a set-up man to a closer, posting back-to-back ERA's under 2.00. In season 22, Domingo posted 36 saves in 37 opportunities.<br />
<br />
"We have a high opinion of Domingo, not only as a closer, but as a leader on this team," GM BBMogul said about Domingo. "I'm not sure there is a better closer out there, so we had to make sure that he did not become a free agent at the end of the season."<br />
<br />
So far this season, Domingo has an ERA 2.55, and he is holding his opponents to a .203 batting average. He has posted 14 saves in 15 situations coming out of the bullpen.<br />

With the bases loaded and one out, Cowboy catcher <a style="color:black;" href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=2213378" target="_blank">Virgil Villalona</a> couldn't handle a pitch from starter <a style="color:black;" href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=2004536" target="_blank">Omar Gomez</a>, advancing all runners and scoring first baseman <a style="color:black;" href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=1570764" target="_blank">Corey Brush</a>. The next batter, <a style="color:black;" href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=797773" target="_blank">T.J. Wallace</a>, hit a sac fly to left center field. Though Cowboy right fielder threw the ball on the mark at home plate, <a style="color:black;" href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=797842" target="_blank">Brandon Epstein</a> beat the throw to give Norfolk the lead. <br /><br />Oklahoma City took the 5-2 lead in the bottom of the third inning. Villalona made up for the passed ball in the prior inning by hitting a sacrifice fly to score Jimenez. <a style="color:black;" href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=797800" target="_blank">Alex Valentin</a> and Post then hit back-to-back home runs give Norfolk the three-run lead. <br /><br />After triples by <a style="color:black;" href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=583540" target="_blank">Heathcliff McBride</a> and Villafuerte scored two runs each, catcher <a style="color:black;" href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=582742" target="_blank">Karl Martin</a> hit a two-run home run to give Norfolk the lead, 9-5.<br /><br />The offensive onslaught continued as doubles by Epstein and Villalona cut the Southern lead in half, with the score, 9-7. They closed the gap to one run off of a groundball hit by Epstein in the eighth inning. <br /><br />With two outs in the bottom of the ninth and a man on second base, center fielder <a style="color:black;" href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=588556" target="_blank">Al Cedeno</a> tied the game with a groundball single to left field scoring <a style="color:black;" href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=797847" target="_blank">Rob Simpson</a>. <br /><br />The Cowboys had the opportunity to close out the game in the bottom of the twelfth inning with a man on first and third with only one out, Southern reliever <a style="color:black;" href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=1570722" target="_blank">Walter Koplove</a> struck out pinch hitter <a style="color:black;" href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=963322" target="_blank">Clyde Cambridge</a> and got Jimenez to fly out to right center field.<br /><br />In the bottom of the thirteenth, Villalona hit a single to left center to get on base. After a failed attempt by Valentin to move him to second, Post smoked a line drive to right center field for a double. It was a close play at home, but Villalona was able to beat out the throw to help the Cowboys take Game 1, 10-9.<br /><br />PLAYER OF THE GAME:<br /><div style="background-color: #ECEBD4; border:solid 1px grey; width:352px; height:156px;"><table style="border:none;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td><div style="background-image:url('http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/PlayerProfile/franchise_player.gif'); height:154px; margin:0; padding:0; width:148px;"><div style="background-image:url('http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/Headshots/Race2/Age20/2200282.jpg'); background-repeat:no-repeat; position:relative; width:120px; height:129px; top:13px; left:14px;"><img src="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/Headshots/Jerseys/OklahomaCity.gif" /></div></div></td><td><div style="background-image:url('http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/PlayerProfile/general_box_blog.gif'); height:154px; margin:0; padding:0; width:200px;"><table style="width:190px; color:black; font-family:Tacoma; font-size:12px;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align:center; font-weight:bold; padding:12px 5px 0px 5px;">Henry Post</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align:center; font-weight:bold; padding:5px 5px 0px 5px;">Oklahoma City</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align:center; font-weight:bold; padding:1px 5px 0px 5px;">Cowboys</td></tr><tr><td style="padding:9px 5px 0px 15px;">Age: <strong>35</strong></td><td style="width:50%; padding:9px 5px 0px 15px;">B/T: <strong>R/R</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding:3px 5px 0px 15px;">Born: <strong>Sparrows Point, MD</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding:3px 5px 0px 15px;">Position(s): <strong>3B/C/1B/COF/DH</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align:center; padding:4px 5px 0px 5px;"><a style="color:black;" href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=584244" target="_blank">View Hardball Dynasty Profile</a></td></tr></table></div></td></tr></table></div><br />4-FOR-7, ONE RUN, TWO RBI, DROVE IN GAME-WINNING RUNUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894413132209453283.post-47238215480816635902009-06-18T13:15:00.001-07:002009-06-18T14:54:22.254-07:00BAKER ROUGHED UP; BUFFALO TAKES GAME 1<b><u><div><br /></div>Phoenix, AZ (7M7AP):</u></b> Buffalo (1-0) ace <a style="color:black;" href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=583028" target="_blank">John Mullaney</a> pitched six strong innings, and the Bisons scored four runs in the first inning to take Game 1 of the National League Division Series, 10-4, this morning.

With an above average stamina rating, Bierbold will be able to pitch through the seventh inning on several occassions for Chicago. He will have average control of his pitches, and will do very well against right-handed hitting. He will be pretty good against left-handed pitching as well. He features an above-average forkball and close to above-average curveball to compliment. He finishes out his arsenal with a slider, four-seam fastball, and change up. He will be a very healthy addition to the Maulers pitching staff as well.<br /><br /><b><u>THE BAD</u></b>: Flat out... he is going to be a hot-head. He will have low patience, low make-up, and a hot temper. The Maulers will have to monitor his development and make sure he's ready for the next level before he is promoted... otherwise, they could stunt his growth within the organization. He has a long way to go on developing his curveball and may not hit the projection. His low durability will keep the Maulers organization monitoring his stamina throughout the years.<br /><br /><b><u>RECAP</u></b>: The Maulers will have to be careful with Bierbold as he develops in the system. If they develop him the correct way, he will be a great pitcher for the Maulers for the long haul.</span><br /></span><br /><br /><br /><u><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong>PICK #2- J.C. JARVIS (SS)</strong></span></u><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">EL PASO DRUG MULES<br />(no picture available)<br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">- Drafted out of Woodbridge High School in Norco, CA<br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">- Remains unsigned<br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><b><u>THE GOOD</u></b>: This talented shortstop will be lighting up the basepaths for seasons to come! He will have a huge bat for the El Paso franchise, if signed, and he will dominate left-handed pitching. He will be strong against right-handed pitching as well. Though Jarvis will require a couple of days off a season, the Mules will not have to be worried about injuries from Jarvis, as he is slated to be in unbelievable shape for his career. He will have some speed behind him as well. If you're looking for the consumate professional, Jarvis will be it. He will have a pretty level head when it comes to his temper, and he will be pretty focused on the task at hand when in tough situations. His patience may get the best of him here and there, but overall, he will be mentally strong. He will be an average defenseman.<br /><br /><b><u>THE BAD</u></b>: His contact and batting eye ratings are what will keep him him from being a silver-slugger, unfortunately. He may have the power, but he won't have the average. Don't get me wrong, he will be hitting betweeh .260-.285 every season, but I'm not sure he will be one of the most dominant hitters in the game. Though he has some speed, he will make some poor decisions running the bases with his low baserunning rating.<br /><br /><b><u>RECAP</u></b>: Jarvis was almost selected by the Maulers with the first overall pick, but the team's committment to improving pitching over the next few drafts took priority over a hard-hitting shortstop like Jarvis. The Mules picked a great player who may set records for home runs for years to come.<br /></span><br /></span><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;"><u>PICK #3- BROOKS HATFIELD- (2B)</u></span></strong><br /><div style="BORDER-RIGHT: 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: 1px solid; WIDTH: 352px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px solid; HEIGHT: 156px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ecebd4"><table style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td><div style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/PlayerProfile/franchise_player.gif); PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; WIDTH: 148px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; HEIGHT: 154px"><div style="LEFT: 14px; BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/Headshots/Race2/Age20/2200347.jpg); WIDTH: 120px; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; POSITION: relative; TOP: 13px; HEIGHT: 129px"><img src="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/Headshots/Jerseys/WashingtonD.C..gif" /></div></div></td><td><div style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/PlayerProfile/general_box_blog.gif); PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; WIDTH: 200px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; HEIGHT: 154px"><table style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; WIDTH: 190px; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Tacoma" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td style="PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 12px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" colspan="2">Brooks Hatfield</td></tr><tr><td style="PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 5px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" colspan="2">Washington D.C.</td></tr><tr><td style="PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 1px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" colspan="2">Crooks</td></tr><tr><td style="PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 9px">Age: <strong>21</strong></td><td style="PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; WIDTH: 50%; PADDING-TOP: 9px">B/T: <strong>S/R</strong></td></tr><tr><td style="PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 3px" colspan="2">Born: <strong>Luverne, MN</strong></td></tr><tr><td style="PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 3px" colspan="2">Position(s): <strong>2B</strong></td></tr><tr><td style="PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 4px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" colspan="2"><a style="COLOR: black" href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=2637123" target="_blank">View Hardball Dynasty Profile</a></td></tr></tbody></table></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br />- Drafted out of <a href="http://usctrojans.cstv.com/sports/m-basebl/usc-m-basebl-body.html-/">University of Southern California</a><br />- Signed on to a minor league contract with a $3,820,000 signing bonus.<br />- Assigned to Low A<br /><br /><u style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">THE GOOD</u>: Hatfield will have a long career in the league with his high health rating and durability rating. He will require a day off here and there, but what player doesn't? His high make up and temper rating will ensure that Brooks will be calm and collect on the field no matter what the situation. He will be dominant against right handed pitching and is sure to be making good contact without striking out an exorbitant amount. He will have his share, but he won't have any 100+ strikeout seasons. Hatfield will hit around 15-20 home runs a year with his power rating. If he hits his projections, he will be extremely smart on the base paths. He will be an average defenseman at best.<br /><br /><u style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">THE BAD</u>: It's too bad he won't have more than the speed that he currently has, or else he could have been a major threat on the base paths. Though he will have just under the average range that a second baseman requires, he will not have the best glove in the world.<br /><br /><u style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">RECAP</u>: Hatfield will be an every day second baseman when he hits the majors. He's good enough to start in AA or AAA now, but D.C. has decided to bring him up the ranks slowly.

He may be best used in a tandem roll with a strong middle reliever as well. He will have above average control of his four pitches. He will be throwing his above average fastball, and has a strong split finger fastball and slider to compliment his bread and butter fast ball. A combination of the three will be used to enduce a good amount of ground balls as his projections tell us. He uses a change-up to round out his list of pitches. He will be a healthy pitcher in his career, but his durability is a little low, which will have Cincinnatti watching his stamina through the season. He will be focused in tough positions with his projected make up rating. He will be a decent fielding pitcher as well which will help for bunts and hits that are going his way.<br /><br /><u style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">THE BAD</u>: Even though he will do decent against right-handers, his vs. left is a little bit lower. This will not be a huge concern for Cincinnatti since his control will help to make up for that rating. He will not be as patient as the Chili would like, but his make up rating will help counter his low patience rating.<br /><br /><u style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">RECAP</u>: Rollins is a nice addition to the Chili staff, and he will be in the league for years to come. He will not be a Cy Young winning pitcher, but he will be an integral part of Cincinnatti's bullpen.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894413132209453283.post-68748365940493713612009-05-17T12:31:00.000-07:002009-05-17T14:33:03.000-07:00FIRST ROUND DRAFT RECAP - Picks 5-9The 7MICKEY7 "Duff Beer" Amateur Draft is brought to you by:<br /><img src="http://www.theangrypuppy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/duff_beer.jpg" width="250" height="150" /><br /><br /><br /><u><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong>PICK #5 - MATT CARTER (P)</strong></span></u><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">Salt Lake City Utes<br />(no picture available)<br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">- Drafted out of Girard High School out of Girard, KS.<br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">- Remains unsigned<br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:100%;">-> Unfortunately, I do not have ratings for this player<br /></span></span><br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;"><u>PICK #6 - F.P.

He will have good stamina to be useful in both rolls but may require a tandem if he's used in a starting role. He has three pitches that he will use. He will have a great four-seam fastball which will have some good velocity behind it, as well as a great slider and decent curve ball. He will have above-average control of his pitches. If he needs more time to develop in the minors, Haynes will not be upset if he's sent down due to his near perfect make up level. He will also have great patience.<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">THE BAD</u>: He is not the most durable pitcher in the league, and he will require a decent bit of rest in between starts.

He will definitely be an innings eater for Augusta and will have great control of the four pitches in his arsenal. His number one pitch will be a slider that will feature great movement, and his four-seam fastball will have decent velocity. The curveball and cutter will round out his pitches. Pearson will have great make up which will help him to get through tough situations. He will be more dominant against lefties than he will righties, so this may limit his success.<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">THE BAD</u>: He will have a hard time facing right handed batters, as his rating will not be very good. He will lean towards being a flyball hitter, so as long as he's in a deep park, the damage will not be as bad. His lower health rating will give him a bit of time on the disabled list as well.<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">RECAP</u>: Pearson will be a successful second or third slot in the rotation, but he will struggle a bit on a daily basis.

He will have incredible control of all five of his pitches. He features a great fastball that will have some great velocity behind it, a slider that will have great movement, and a change up, screwball, and split finger fast ball. He will induce a lot of ground balls, and as long as Pawtucket has a great defense on the infield, Ford will excel. A great commodity in being a left handed pitcher, Ford will excel against left handed hitters. He will still do well against right handed hitters, though. His make up will be a great asset to Pawtucket in case Ford needs to be sent back down to the minors for more experience. His health will be an asset to Pawtucket as well, though he will hit the DL every once in awhile.<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">THE BAD</u>: There isn't a lot that's bad with Ford's game. His durability leaves a little something to desier, and he's not going to be the most patience guy in the world, but that explains most of human existence.<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">RECAP</u>: Ford will be a force to be reckoned with and could possibly end up with a Cy Young Award down the road.<br /><br /><br /><br /><u><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong>PICK #11 - HAL BRISTOW (SS)</strong></span></u><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">Huntington Healeys<br />(no picture available)<br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">- Drafted out of <a href="http://www.uhcougars.com/sports/m-basebl/hou-m-basebl-body.html">University of Houston</a><br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:100%;">- Remains unsigned</span><br /></span><br />Unfortunately, I have no ratings for Hal Bristow<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;"><u>PICK #12- GLEN WINCHESTER (P)</u></span></strong><br /><div style="border: 1px solid grey; background-color: rgb(236, 235, 212); width: 352px; height: 156px;"><table style="border: medium none ;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; background-image: url(http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/PlayerProfile/franchise_player.gif); height: 154px; width: 148px;"><div style="background-image: url(http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/Headshots/Race1/Age20/1200679.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; position: relative; width: 120px; height: 129px; top: 13px; left: 14px;"><img src="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/Headshots/Jerseys/Salem.gif" /></div></div></td><td><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; background-image: url(http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/PlayerProfile/general_box_blog.gif); height: 154px; width: 200px;"><table style="width: 190px; color: black; font-family: Tacoma; font-size: 12px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 12px 5px 0px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Glen Winchester</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 5px 5px 0px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Salem</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 1px 5px 0px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Sleepers</td></tr><tr><td style="padding: 9px 5px 0px 15px;">Age: <strong>19</strong></td><td style="padding: 9px 5px 0px 15px; width: 50%;">B/T: <strong>R/R</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 3px 5px 0px 15px;">Born: <strong>Angels Camp, CA</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 3px 5px 0px 15px;">Position(s): <strong>P (ClA)</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 4px 5px 0px; text-align: center;"><a style="color: black;" href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=2637620" target="_blank">View Hardball Dynasty Profile</a></td></tr></tbody></table></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>- Drafted out of <a href="http://www.ssctrojanbaseball.com/">Seminole State College</a><br />- Signed on 5/12/09 to a minor league contract with a $2,970,000 signing bonus.<br />- Assigned to High A<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">THE GOOD</u>: Winchester features two great pitches, with his slider and change-up being his two focused pitches. Both require skill and determination to master, and Winchester will do a great job with both of them. He will be near dominant against right handed batters and will be close to above-average against lefties.

He will be a number one or number two starter on the Scrubs staff, with his masterful control and devestating four-seam fastball and circle change up. His fastball will not be a fast one, but with his control, he will be able to place that pitch wherever he wants. As well, he will be able to place his curveball, slider, and forkball with ease. Belliard will be able to ease some of the burden off the bullpen with his high stamina rating. He will also be a healthy pitcher, requiring little to no time on the disabled list. He will be decent against batters on both sides of the plate, but his control will make up for that.<br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">THE BAD</u>: Belliard will require rest in between starts and will definitely need a little more rest as the season wears on. He will not be the most patient pitcher in the league, but with his projected higher make up rating, his patience level will be offset a bit. He may be ejected a time or two due to his temper as well.<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">RECAP</u>: Belliard will be a great pitcher in this league, and 7Mickey7 should welcome him. He will have some fantastic outings, and the Scrubs are guaranteed some complete games from him.

Those ratings, coupled with his average vs. right hand rating, will make him a strong batter in the 7Mickey7 league. He will see his share of strikeouts, it will be a moderate amount. He will show some patience at the plate as well as in pressure situations.<br /><br /><b><u>THE BAD</u></b>: The major concern with Potvin is going to be his health. With a projected 58 rating, he will see his share of potentially serious injuries which will garner him some major time on the disabled list. He remains unsigned, even though he's only asking for slot money, so this, to me, makes it seem that Monterrey is concerned about this portion of his game.<br /><br /><b><u>RECAP</u></b>: When healthy, Potvin will put up great offensive numbers. He is potentially a 40-50 home run hitter and will most likely hit between .285-.300 for his career. He will have his share of .300 + seasons. </span><br /></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894413132209453283.post-81654661587908614122009-05-17T08:39:00.000-07:002009-05-17T12:26:34.269-07:00FIRST ROUND DRAFT RECAP - Picks 15-197MICKEY7 "DUFF BEER" AMATEUR DRAFT BROUGHT TO YOU BY:<br /><img src="http://www.homerj.co.uk/images/simpsons/pictures/duffed.jpg" width="250" height="300" /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;"><u>PICK #15- PHILLIP POWELL (P)</u></span></strong><br /><div style="border: 1px solid grey; background-color: rgb(236, 235, 212); width: 352px; height: 156px;"><table style="border: medium none ;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; background-image: url(http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/PlayerProfile/franchise_player.gif); height: 154px; width: 148px;"><div style="background-image: url(http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/Headshots/Race1/Age20/1201281.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; position: relative; width: 120px; height: 129px; top: 13px; left: 14px;"><img src="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/Headshots/Jerseys/LittleRock.gif" /></div></div></td><td><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; background-image: url(http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/PlayerProfile/general_box_blog.gif); height: 154px; width: 200px;"><table style="width: 190px; color: black; font-family: Tacoma; font-size: 12px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 12px 5px 0px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Phillip Powell</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 5px 5px 0px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Little Rock</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 1px 5px 0px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Raiders</td></tr><tr><td style="padding: 9px 5px 0px 15px;">Age: <strong>18</strong></td><td style="padding: 9px 5px 0px 15px; width: 50%;">B/T: <strong>L/L</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 3px 5px 0px 15px;">Born: <strong>Westlake, LA</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 3px 5px 0px 15px;">Position(s): <strong>P (SP1)</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 4px 5px 0px; text-align: center;"><a style="color: black;" href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=2637627" target="_blank">View Hardball Dynasty Profile</a></td></tr></tbody></table></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>- Drafted out of Alfred M. Barbe High School out of Lake Charles, LA<br />- Signed on 5/12/09 to a minor league contract with a $2,690,000 signing bonus.<br />- Assigned to Rookie League<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">THE GOOD</u>: Powell is will have great stamina and will most likely end up in a starting role. He will have above-average control of his five pitch arsenal, featuring what is slated to be a devastating forkball. He has a slider, change-up, curveball, and four seamer to compliment his forkball. With that many pitches, Powell will keep batters guessing. He will do well against left-handed batters, since he is a left-handed pitcher. For a pitcher, he does have a little bit of offense in his blood. He will make some contact with the ball and get on a base a little bit. Considering Little Rock is in the National League, this will give a little edge in offense when he's batting. Don't get me wrong, he will still strike out a ton, but here and there, he will get on base.<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">THE BAD</u>: Powell will definitely require spot starts here and there considering his low durability rating that is not slated to get much better. He will definitely see a little bit of time on the disabled list. He will have some success against right-handed batters, but he will not be extremely affective unless he has a higher-rated pitch calling catcher. With that catcher, he could be very successful.<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">RECAP</u>: If paired up with the right catcher, he will have success against right-handed batters, but look to him to keep lefties under control. He will be in the majors in about three to four seasons, and look for him to be a third or fourth starter on the Raiders staff.<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;"><u>PICK #16- CLEM JONES (P)</u></span></strong><br /><div style="border: 1px solid grey; background-color: rgb(236, 235, 212); width: 352px; height: 156px;"><table style="border: medium none ;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; background-image: url(http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/PlayerProfile/franchise_player.gif); height: 154px; width: 148px;"><div style="background-image: url(http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/Headshots/Race1/Age20/1200236.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; position: relative; width: 120px; height: 129px; top: 13px; left: 14px;"><img src="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/Headshots/Jerseys/Hartford.gif" /></div></div></td><td><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; background-image: url(http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/PlayerProfile/general_box_blog.gif); height: 154px; width: 200px;"><table style="width: 190px; color: black; font-family: Tacoma; font-size: 12px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 12px 5px 0px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Clem Jones</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 5px 5px 0px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Hartford</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 1px 5px 0px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Posse</td></tr><tr><td style="padding: 9px 5px 0px 15px;">Age: <strong>19</strong></td><td style="padding: 9px 5px 0px 15px; width: 50%;">B/T: <strong>L/L</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 3px 5px 0px 15px;">Born: <strong>Oklahoma City, OK</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 3px 5px 0px 15px;">Position(s): <strong>P (SP1)</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 4px 5px 0px; text-align: center;"><a style="color: black;" href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=2637526" target="_blank">View Hardball Dynasty Profile</a></td></tr></tbody></table></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>- Drafted out of <a href="http://northok.publishpath.com/baseball1">Northern Oklahoma College - Enid Campus</a><br />- Signed on 5/12/09 to a minor league contract with a $2,600,000 signing bonus.<br />- Assigned to Rookie League<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">THE GOOD</u>: Jones is going to be an innings eater, slated to have a very high stamina. Jones will also be a healthy option for the Posse pitching staff.<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">THE BAD</u>: This was a tough pick to see go in the first round. His splits are not good at all, and he doesn't really have a ton of velocity. His pitches are not very good, with his best being his four-seam fast ball. It is not going to be a very good pitch, and I think that major leaguers will have an easy time getting hits off of Jones.<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">RECAP</u>: I'm not too sure I see Jones having any success in the major leagues.

Coffie still has a ways to go on his defense if he's going to survive in the majors, unless he's going to be used in a DH role. If he hits his projections, he will be an average fielder out there in right field, but he will be a valuable offensive piece to the Cowboys plan. Slated to be excellent against right handers, he will make a fair amount of contact and will not be striking out much due to his superior batters eye... again, if he hits his projections. He will need some conditioning at Triple-A as his durability level isn't all that great starting out, but he will get better as time goes on.<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">THE BAD</u>: Anyone's grandmother could run faster than Coffie, and his speed will not improve at all, whatsoever. On the basepaths, he will be a bit of a liability. Coffie will be spending some decent time on the disabled list as his health is not all that great. He will not be getting much better in that category either. He will see some time in a slump due to his make-up, but his patience will help offset that a little bit.<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">RECAP</u>: Offensively, Coffie will be a contributor to the Cowboys, if they decide to hold on to him.

Little will be great in middle-relief with high control of his potentially dominating four-seam fastball and above-average curveball. Considering his slider is potentially rated at 65, for a third pitch in his arsenal, this could be very good for the Crankees. He will have an above-average health rating, but he will see a little bit of time on the DL.<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">THE BAD</u>: Little will be giving up the fly-ball almost as much as he will be giving up the ground ball. He will give up a bit more in the air than on the ground, though. Teams will have their share of home runs off of him. There are definitely going to be days where Little will need extra rest considering his low durability.<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">RECAP</u>: Little will be a valuable commodity to the Crankees, most likely ending up in a middle-relief role.

Married? Kids?</u>: Been Married 35 years to the same woman - hard to believe anyone would want me that long! I have 2 daughters - my oldest daughter who is 30 lives in Indianapolis and she's breaking me by getting me to go to the Colts games with her. (ticket scalping is not illegal in Indiana and you pay dearly!) My youngest daughter who is 27 lives just up the road from us with her fiancee and her son....my grandson who is 4. He's my buddy!<br /><br /><u>How long have you been in HBD?</u> I've been in HBD since it started; I followed several of the SIM guys on over to HBD when it was created.<br /><br /><u>What season did you join 7Mickey7?</u> Been in since the 1st season.<br /><br /><u>What drew you to HBD?</u> I really enjoyed playing SIM and just thought I'd try HBD when it started. Since then, I've been hooked!<br /><br /><u>What condition was your team in when you took over?</u> My team was actually pretty decent when I got it but I did make some bad moves trying to improve my team. I didn't have a good set of prospects that I can remember but the ML team was decent.<br /><br /><u>What are your plans for your team this season?</u> I would like to repeat as champs again but if the season goes like the 1st couple of weeks have been going, I don't think that's gonna happen. Last season, I don't recall having but one All-Star but the team just played great; especially in the playoffs. I hope to add some more players to the All-Star team and win my division.<br /><br /><u>Prediction for your team?</u> The way BBMogul's team has been playing, it's gonna be tough to catch up to him.......for any of us. We have a tough division with Fregoe, Simsoxs, and BBMogul but if my team can start hitting the ball, we can catch up and take over.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894413132209453283.post-80088369946748002282009-05-15T18:35:00.000-07:002009-05-15T20:34:09.490-07:00FIRST ROUND DRAFT RECAP - Picks 20-247MICKEY7'S "DUFF BEER" AMATEUR DRAFT IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY... well...<br /><img src="http://imagecache.allposters.com/images/pic/HPM/SM983%7EDuff-Beer-Posters.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><br />Sorry guys, I do not have ratings for pick 20...<br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;"><u>PICK #21- HARRY FRANCISCO (SS)</u></span></strong><br /><div style="border: 1px solid grey; background-color: rgb(236, 235, 212); width: 352px; height: 156px;"><table style="border: medium none ;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; background-image: url(http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/PlayerProfile/franchise_player.gif); height: 154px; width: 148px;"><div style="background-image: url(http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/Headshots/Race4/Age20/4200640.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; position: relative; width: 120px; height: 129px; top: 13px; left: 14px;"><img src="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/Headshots/Jerseys/Arizona.gif" /></div></div></td><td><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; background-image: url(http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/PlayerProfile/general_box_blog.gif); height: 154px; width: 200px;"><table style="width: 190px; color: black; font-family: Tacoma; font-size: 12px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 12px 5px 0px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Harry Francisco</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 5px 5px 0px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Arizona</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 1px 5px 0px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Pumas</td></tr><tr><td style="padding: 9px 5px 0px 15px;">Age: <strong>18</strong></td><td style="padding: 9px 5px 0px 15px; width: 50%;">B/T: <strong>S/R</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 3px 5px 0px 15px;">Born: <strong>Liberty, TX</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 3px 5px 0px 15px;">Position(s): <strong>SS</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 4px 5px 0px; text-align: center;"><a style="color: black;" href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=2637018" target="_blank">View Hardball Dynasty Profile</a></td></tr></tbody></table></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br />- Drafted out of Rayburn High School in Pasadena, Texas.<br />- Signed on 5/12/09 to a minor league contract with a $2,390,000 signing bonus.<br />- Assigned to Rookie League<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">THE GOOD</u>: Francisco will be a dynamic defensive shortstop who will own left-handed pitching. Defensively, he will have a wide range with a strong arm and even better accuracy. He will feature an above-average glove, which is sure to help him to a lot of Gold Gloves in his career. Though he will need a couple of days off per season, his durability will help him to play in more than 130 games in the season. He will be a strong hitter against left-handed pitching. He will be patient at the plate and will make a good amount of contact with the ball.<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">THE BAD</u>: The weakest part of his game will be his batting eye, especially considering his extremely low rating against right handed pitchers. He will be a slug on the base paths, and he has a long way to go in learning how to run the base paths safely.<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">RECAP</u>: Francisco has a long way to go to reach his potential, and with the right management, he could blossom into a great defensive prospect. He will be a force against left handed pitching, but will that be enough to garner a starting spot on a team?

His change-up will be an affective third pitch in his arsenal.<br /><br /><b><u>THE BAD</u></b>: I'm not too sure that Spruill will make it into the big leagues, and I think Seattle realizes this, which may account for why he has not been signed. He may also be holding out due to the chance of choosing football over baseball. His durability will not get any better, and is very low. He does not feature very good control, and his splits are not great. Though he fares better against righties than lefties, I'm not sure his make up or durability will make him attractive to potential suitors. He will be, at best, a fourth or fifth starting option, or he will be a right handed specialist. He will need a decent amount of rest in between outings.<br /><br /><b><u>RECAP</u></b>: It's hard to say if he will make it into the major leagues, and his lack of durability will hamper his use in a bullpen. Though he has an upside of great pitches and could eat some innings for a team, I'm not sure that he will make it into the majors.<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;"><u>PICK #23- Ken Davis (P)</u></span></strong><br /><div style="border: 1px solid grey; background-color: rgb(236, 235, 212); width: 352px; height: 156px;"><table style="border: medium none ;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; background-image: url(http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/PlayerProfile/franchise_player.gif); height: 154px; width: 148px;"><div style="background-image: url(http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/Headshots/Race1/Age20/1201215.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; position: relative; width: 120px; height: 129px; top: 13px; left: 14px;"><img src="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/Headshots/Jerseys/Wichita.gif" /></div></div></td><td><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; background-image: url(http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/PlayerProfile/general_box_blog.gif); height: 154px; width: 200px;"><table style="width: 190px; color: black; font-family: Tacoma; font-size: 12px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 12px 5px 0px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Ken Davis</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 5px 5px 0px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Wichita</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 1px 5px 0px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Wimps</td></tr><tr><td style="padding: 9px 5px 0px 15px;">Age: <strong>20</strong></td><td style="padding: 9px 5px 0px 15px; width: 50%;">B/T: <strong>R/R</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 3px 5px 0px 15px;">Born: <strong>De Soto, WI</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 3px 5px 0px 15px;">Position(s): <strong>P (SP2)</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 4px 5px 0px; text-align: center;"><a style="color: black;" href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=2637623" target="_blank">View Hardball Dynasty Profile</a></td></tr></tbody></table></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div> - Drafted out of <a href="http://www.westerntc.edu/athletics/baseball.asp">Western Wisconsin Technical College</a><br />- Signed on 5/12/09 to a minor league contract with a $1,940,000 signing bonus<br />- Assigned to Low A<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">THE GOOD</u>: Davis, at only age 20, is not all that far away from reaching his potential and his possible debut in the majors. He will most likely be used in a tandem or a long-relief pitching role with the occasional spot start to give someone a break. Davis will have a close to above-average control of his pitches, which include a four-seam fast ball, decent slider, and the added change up, curveball, and cutter. Davis is already in good shape, so his health will not be all that much of a concern to the Wimps, though they will have to monitor his arm due to the lower durability rating. As long as the Wimps can establish a good defense, Davis' ground ball rating will come in very handy for the Wimps as he will induce his fair share full.<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">THE BAD</u>: Though Davis will be a health player in his career, the Wimps management staff will have to give him a little extra time off due to his low durability rating. He will feature a little bit of a lower rating against hitters, but the control of his pitches may make up for the low rating.<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">RECAP</u>: Ken Davis could see his way into the majors in about three to four seasons and will most likely be a B-side long reliever.

Dawley is projected to be an outstanding defensive shortstop, with an amazing range and arm strength rating as well as his throw accuracy. Though his glove isn't going to be as great as the other facets of his defensive game, he will still have a great one! He will be able to withstand the length and rigor of a full major-league season once he gets to the peak of his conditioning.<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">THE BAD</u>: He is not going to be an offensive force... by any means. His low contact rating, low power rating, and low batter's eye is not going to be helping offensive prowess. He has below average speed, so this aspect of his game will not help him in his quest to the majors.<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">RECAP</u>: At best, Dawley will be a defensive superstar with no place in the heart of a line-up.

Though his 4-seam fastball will not have a ton of velocity behind it, Arnold will find creative ways of using the pitch to deceive his opponents. He will most likely use it with his potentially above-average curveball to keep hitters guessing. With the possibility of masterful control of his pitches, Arnold could be a reliable pitcher in the majors. If he hits his projections, he will be a force against left-handed hitting. If the Apaches have good defense, Arnold will be invaluable to Albuquerque as a ground-ball hitter.<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">THE BAD</u>: He will have a tough time against right-handed batters, which is obviously the dominate side of the plate that pitchers face. He will require a good bit of time to recover from his outings due to his low durability rating, and he will be spending a decent amount of time on the disabled list. His make up will grow as he matures in the minor leagues, but it will not be the best facet of his game.<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">RECAP</u>: Arnold would be best used as a left-handed specialist if he makes it to the majors.

He could potentially have master control over his projected above-average sinker and good curveball. He will also sport an decent change-up. He will have his share of injuries, but it will not be a constant problem. He will be able to recover fairly quick from his outings.<br /><br /><b><u>THE BAD</u></b>: His make-up will disturb his progress through the minors, and he will not be a very patient pitcher. He doesn't feature a fastball at all in his arsenal, and as a pitcher with a good change up, he doesn't have an overpowering pitch to pair that to.<br /><br /><b><u>RECAP</u></b>: Cruz could potentially be a perennial all-star pitcher if the organization brings him up through the minors slowly.

His control of his fastball, slider, and palmball will help him through the season, but he will have a fair share of four and five-run outings.<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;"><u>PICK #28- KIRT SHERMAN</u></span></strong><br /><div style="border: 1px solid grey; background-color: rgb(236, 235, 212); width: 352px; height: 156px;"><table style="border: medium none ;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; background-image: url(http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/PlayerProfile/franchise_player.gif); height: 154px; width: 148px;"><div style="background-image: url(http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/Headshots/Race2/Age20/2200138.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; position: relative; width: 120px; height: 129px; top: 13px; left: 14px;"><img src="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/Headshots/Jerseys/LasVegas.gif" /></div></div></td><td><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; background-image: url(http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Images/PlayerProfile/general_box_blog.gif); height: 154px; width: 200px;"><table style="width: 190px; color: black; font-family: Tacoma; font-size: 12px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 12px 5px 0px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Kirt Sherman</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 5px 5px 0px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Las Vegas</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 1px 5px 0px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Gamblers</td></tr><tr><td style="padding: 9px 5px 0px 15px;">Age: <strong>18</strong></td><td style="padding: 9px 5px 0px 15px; width: 50%;">B/T: <strong>R/R</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 3px 5px 0px 15px;">Born: <strong>Tulsa, OK</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 3px 5px 0px 15px;">Position(s): <strong>1B/LF/DH</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="padding: 4px 5px 0px; text-align: center;"><a style="color: black;" href="http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=2637228" target="_blank">View Hardball Dynasty Profile</a></td></tr></tbody></table></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>- Drafted out of Bishop Kelley High School in Tulsa, OK<br />- Signed on 5/12/09 to a minor league contract with a $1,470,000 signing bonus<br />- Assigned to Low A<br /><br /><b><u>THE GOOD</u></b>: Sherman will be dynamic against left handers, with a projected 92 rating. Sherman will also display above average power with a fantastic batting eye. He will not strike out often. Sherman still has a lot to learn as far as his baserunning skills, but if he hits projections, he will be a master on the base paths. He will have his share of injuries, but it will not happen extremely often.<br /><br /><b><u>THE BAD</u></b>: Sherman's range is about five feet. The Gamblers will want him nowhere on the field unless he's running the paths offensively... even then, he will be very slow. His durability will be somewhat suspect, so as he's conditioning in the minors, he will see his share of resting time on the bench. His make up will get the best of him, as he will not be very focused while in the minors.<br /><br /><b><u>RECAP</u></b>: Sherman will have a long way to go if he ever hopes to make it to the majors. His make up will hurt his progress, but if he can stay focused, he has a chance of putting up at least 25-35 home runs a season. He will be a power threat.<br /><br /><br /><br /><u><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong>PICK #29- DOMINGO ALVAREZ</strong></span></u><br />Norfolk Southern<br />(no picture available)<br />- Drafted out of <a href="http://www.mutigers.com/sports/m-basebl/miss-m-basebl-body.html">University of Missouri</a><br />- Remains unsigned<br /><br /><b><u>THE GOOD</u></b>: Alvarez will be a defensive star in center field with his great range and fantastic glove. He will be able to play 95% of the season with his high durability rating and will not be an injury threat to the Southern. Alvarez also possesses very good speed.<br /><br /><b><u>THE BAD</u></b>: Defensively, Alvarez will have some trouble throwing to home on any play and will not be very accurate. His lower make up rating may hamper his progression in the minors. Offensively, he will have a below average contact rating, and his worst rating is his batting eye. He will see a lot of strike outs in his time.<br /><br /><b><u>RECAP</u></b>: The only way that Alvarez will make it to the major leagues is based on his defense. His low batting eye will make him an easy target for pitchers to strike out. The only position he could possess with a team is for a defensive replacement. I have a feeling that the Southern will not sign him.<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
