*1987 Bold Predictions and Things to Watch*

[Clay]

Clay is finally off the Indy bandwagon... I'm guessing that means they take a huge leap this year.

They still have my favorite uniforms in the BLB... but they've burned me too many times. Frankly, the things I did like about their team are getting a little older. Plus, their top youngster, Rex Knight, is a kid I've never been a fan of.

That being said... how many years were people all over the Arizona Cardinals' bandwagon before jumping before last season???

[Clay]

Another prediction....

The Colonials will have their first legit New Brew candidate since Nelson won it in '79. Herrerra, Rhodes and McQueen will all be regulars all season.

All expected to make the roster after ST?

[Clay]

McQueen - 100%
Herrera - 90% - unless he's awful in ST... but I honestly think he's my #3 immediately
Rhodes - 50/50 - I think he's better than a lot of my outfield options, but unless he can beat out Medine to play everyday (or close)... he'll go back down to get the full-time ABs

1. I'll be back in the playoffs

2. Gremades gets 100+ RBI

I see #2 much more likely than #1.

[Clay]

I see #2 much more likely than #1.

I think I'm the opposite...

I could see the Pitt rotation being improved enough to sneak in...

However, I'm not sure Gremades has enough quality directly in front of him. Can't drive in guys who aren't on base. I do think he'll have another great season though.

[Jistic]

My prediction is the same as every year.



PAIN!

Tell me about it.

Knight keeps taking talent hits from my scout, though OSA still loves him. We'll have to see how he does this year.

That being said, if I finish better than third I'll be surprised.

[Jake]

I think we are going to take one heck of a run at the Pilsner this year. I also predict that Clay will not take over simming duties until at least July.

UPDATE on this... All 3 made the team. McQueen will be #2 MR, Pancho is the #3 in the Rotation, Rhodes will start in LF (with the injury to Medine).

You win this one... but it's a good thing. I don't want to speak for Andrew (but I will). Andrew's schedule has settled down and he's going to continue to handle the SIMS at this time. We are in the process of installing plans for me to be prepared to act as a legit backup with simming abilities.

Prediction: Baltimore will lead the league in HR's.

Did you change your park at all?

If not, I'll co-sign.

[Delandis]

I moved the Right Field wall back about 20 feet. But I still think I have a lot of power with Headington, Harcourt, Washington and now Cabellero.

I read somewhere that moving the fences in or out doesn't actually change HR frequency in OOTP.
