AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST PREVIEW AND CAPSULES

Baltimore Orioles

Starting Rotation
1. Michael “Frenchy” Jacinto (17 years old, 4/8/6)
2. Joe Dalessio (17 years old, 4/7/6)
3. Jonah Bowers (19 years old, 7/6/4)
4. Edgar Bassham (25 years old, 4/7/6)
5. Freddie Almaraz (23 years old, 5/4/6)

Bullpen
1. Derrick Linhart (20 years old, 4/7/6)
2. Bill Coffman (24 years old, 4/7/5)
3. Lewis Limones (21 years old, 6/4/6)
4. Tony Vargas (21 years old, 5/6/6)
CL Anthony Severino (23 years old, 5/7/6)

Lineup
RF Juan Martinez (24 years old, 5/4/3, 7 range, .979)
3B Anthony Hallock (18 years old, 4/5/5, 8 range, .956)
LF Randell Cullen (21 years old, 6/7/8, 8 range, .996)
1B Gregory McClung (22 years old, 6/5/4, 3 range, .991)
CF Maurice Smith (24 years old, 6/4/5, 5 range, .995)
C Eric Froehlich (19 years old, 4/4/5, 7 range, .977)

DH David Cardillo (21 years old, 4/5/4)
2B Thomas Martin (19 years old, 4/4/3, 8 range, .978)

Prognosis
--Orioles built a great defensive team. Most of the pitchers are more fly ball hurlers than ground ballers, so that deep range in the outfield will help trememdously. The pitching staff is built on control, so they will hit their spots and should do decent enough to keep them in games. The offense is nothing spectacular, short of Cullen who should be a superstar. They should finish in the top half of the AL East.

1B Fernando “King Kong” Chavez (25 years old, 7/8/8, 6 range, .998)

SS Robert Peterson (25 years old, 4/5/4, 3 range, .977)
C Jimmie Walker (23 years old, 4/3/3, 6 range, .987)

Prognosis
--The middle of the order could be dangerous, with Chavez, Flesher, and Brickely, but it's a crap shoot the rest of the way. The pitching is especially weak after the first two in the rotation. I can't see this team competing right now. Banta is fast, though. Expect him to be among the league leaders in SB.

CF Ernest Hill (18 years old, 5/5/4, 6 range, .981)
RF Paul Fryer (17 years old, 4/5/3, 8 range, .979)

Prognosis
--An extremely deep pitching staff, and a very talented offense. Thomas and Carpino could be the best 3-4 duo in the American League. The rest of the offense should produce enough to keep them in games. Management should hope that the starters go deep. It's not that the bullpen is awful (Velez is going to be wonderful), but why waste great outings by the starters?

LF Pasqual Fons (18 years old, 5/4/5, 5 range, .992)
RF Louis Boggs (18 years old, 5/3/5, 8 range, .988)

Prognosis
--I like this Tigers team a lot. The pitching is there and will keep them competitive. The lineup is so-so, but Ellis is a beast and everyone else is pretty solid, if unspectacular. They should get the job done. The one thing that scares me is the defense up the middle, other than Carmean, is shaky. Hopefully it won't affect them all too much.

CF Mike Cory (24 years old, 5/4/3, 6 range, .985)
DH Felip Valtierra (19 years old, 5/3/3)

Prognosis
--Another “all offense, no pitching” team. Incredibly average rotation, and the bullpen looks to be no help. Only Grossi looks to be anything interesting there. The lineup is scary though. Ward and Jackson are great leadoff guys for Mericle, Valdecilla, Fleming, and even McLean. As long as their lineup holds, they should score runs. However, defense looks to be an issue. I expect a couple years before this team can truly compete.

RF Jacob Singleton (21 years old, 4/4/5, 6 range, .983)
DH Brandon Kaiser (20 years old, 5/4/2, 7 range, .987)

Prognosis
--When looking at the Yanks lineup, what stands out is amazing. They have 3 players that are above and beyond every other player on the roster. Petrovich, Worley, and Stoltenberg are stars and will have to carry this team of average ball players. Can they do it over a 162 game schedule? The success of this team depends solely on their sets of shoulders. They are also the only team in the AL East with a true number one starter.

1B Valeriano Belmonte (20 years old, 5/5/3, 4 range, .997)

Prognosis
--Solid rotation, excellent bullpen, decent lineup top to bottom. The Jays will put a few out of the yard, that's for sure. Waldron, Neilson, Headen,, as well as Sojo and Hamler, have the ability to jack one out at will. One upsetting trend is that no one likes to walk. A bunch of swing-first attitudes. I really like the pitching here though.

This looks interesting. How did you make the draft 17-25 year olds only? Also, maybe it was just me, but it seemed like a lot of the guys in the draft were pretty well along in their development for their age. What are all of the talent and progress modifiers set to?

Lots and lots of editing using Pierre's Tools.

I just created a fictional league and edited all the players age and service time. Didn't touch ratings or anything else. I have it so I'll get 1987 totals, so the numbers shouldn't be absurd. But who knows?! That's the fun of it all.

They have 3 players that are above and beyond every other player on the roster. Petrovich, Worley, and Stoltenberg are stars and will have to carry this team of average ball players. Can they do it over a 162 game schedule? The success of this team depends solely on their sets of shoulders. They are also the only team in the AL East with a true number one starter. __________________ None Blog it.

The Jays will put a few out of the yard, that's for sure. Waldron, Neilson, Headen,, as well as Sojo and Hamler, have the ability to jack one out at will. One upsetting trend is that no one likes to walk. A bunch of swing-first attitudes. I really like the pitching here though. __________________ None Blog it.

Also, maybe it was just me, but it seemed like a lot of the guys in the draft were pretty well along in their development for their age. What are all of the talent and progress modifiers set to?
