Stout Division Talk

[Plastic]

OK... my first take....

C - Harry Elliot (WIL)

1B - Dani Alvarez (WIL)

2B - Wilton Harcourt (VIR)

SS - Might be too close to call... can make a case for Delarruz, Summers and O'Hegarty... O'Heagarty gets on base the most and steals bases (leads the league), but doesn't hit with the same power and is the worst defender... Summers numbers are really good, but he doesn't produce as much because of where he bats in the lineup. Delarruz is more powerful than O'Hegarty, but doesn't have the speed. Tough.

3B - Josh Poling (VIR)


OF - Campo (WIL)

OF - Nago (WAS)

OF - Romo (WIL) or Nelson (VIR)


SP (RH) - Good luck here! You can make a case for Soto (my pick if pressed), Gugs or any of the Washington's Top 3.... tough call.

SP (LH) - Gotta be Magness (VIR) or Rubia (MOR)... not real deep in LH starters in the Stout this season.

Reliever (RH) - Doug 'Doughboy' Liggins (WIL)

Reliever (LH) - George McSwain (VIR)

Closer - Kenshin Krsnich (WIL)

Hey, where are all the Morgantown players? :)

We don't have any real stand out players; just a bunch of role players trying to make it work.

You're best player is your Closer... and KK and Lewis were just really, really good this year. I gave Rubia some love though.

lol, yeah I know. I just didn't have anything really meaningful to add to your selections. So decided to jokingly give you crap for not picking any of my crappy players.

I appreciate the Rubia love though! He came out of nowhere this season to have a really solid year. When Caramillo went down for the year I gave Rubia a shot at more of the load and he responded way above my expectations.

[Clay]

OK... with Krsnich, Lewis, Cleary and Simmonds all in the STOUT... the IL Last Call Relief should not leave the STOUT for the next 5 years minimum.

[Pat]

Well the voters got it wrong this year, so I could see them getting it wrong again.

[Clay]

Maybe it's your attitude costing your players votes.... hmmmmm... food for thought.

[Lintyfresh85]

I could see Simonds repeating.

Please.

Bitch, you love me.

[Clay]

Would just like to point out the Virginia Colonials had the best record vs the Stout this season. 1 game better than Washington.

Small victories.

I hate you all.

Suck it.

[Clay]

I don't think that bodes well for your chances next season as I think he figures to be better and you a little worse.

I couldn't tell you if Washington will be better or not (though the age of his pitching would be a concern).... but I do not see a scenerio where I'm worse. The division should be tougher with Sully back, but my team will be better. I played a ton of Rookies this year, missed Nino for a fair chunk of the season and never had a settled OF. Now, that's not to say that the OOTP Gods won't get me.... but there's no logical argument about why my team should be worse.

[Lintyfresh85]

We owe a lot of thanks to the Stout for helping me secure a playoff spot this year!

California vs. Porter: 29-25
California vs. Bock: 23-25
California vs. Stout: 31-17

Morgantown: 9-3
Virginia: 9-3
Wilmington: 9-3
Washington: 4-8

[Clay]

You're welcome.

Yeah, I deleted my comment because when I wrote it, I thought I was responding to a comment by Pat. I meant to say that Virginia figures to be better and Washington worse.

Winshare is a little misleading.

What kind of full squad (25 man) would we put together for the All-Star Division tournament?
