1989 BOLD Predictions Thread

[Clay]

It's that time again!

Time to lay out those BOLD Predictions!!!!

With Opening Day falling on a Monday SIM, might not have the luxury to wait till after Spring Training to get those Predictions down.

Be BOLD!

Teams on the rise?

Teams in free fall?

Stout Slugger candidates? Pale Ale?

Rookies to watch?

Which off-season moves will pay the biggest dividends?

Bring 'em... and bring 'em BOLD!

California predictions:

Robby Sears will be an all-star and a 20 game winner.

[Pat]

The Bats will not repeat as Brewmasters Champions.

Now that's BOLD.

[Ryan]

DL Wild Card winner will come from the Pilsner.

[Pat]

DL Wild Card winner will come from the Pilsner.

Worst division in the BLB.

[Delandis]

Tommy Lang wins 15 games and has a sub 3.50 ERA in Baltimore.

[Carlos]

Tommy Lang wins 15 games and has a sub 3.50 ERA in Baltimore.

And JJ just rolled over in his bed.

No, no, that was not a bold prediction.

[Spectre]

Joe Rojas for DL New Brew

Anibal Calderon will be top 10 in the DL in walks

My bullpen will take a big step backward

[Delandis]

Ivan Garcia will be top 3 in BB, SB, 3B, and 2B.

[Jistic]

PAIN!

[Pat]

Ivan Garcia will be top 3 in BB, SB, 3B, and 2B.

That is bold. The guy had three triples last year.

He has speed and a great eye, but you have to get hits to get 2Bs and 3Bs. He might not have 100 hits next season.

[Jistic]

Ok I guess I'll do one.

Clarence Wetton will lead the IL in VORP and challenge for a batting title.

[Delandis]

He also had 7 triples the year before, so its not out of the question. I think he raises that average about 30-40 points this year. He's progressing the same way Pat Washington did. Another guy that I brought from the minors a bit too early.

[Clay]

I'll do a bunch for my team, but will have to dig deeper to expand league wide....

***

Mel Woodbury will finish in the Top 3 for IL Stout Slugger again this season, but fall just short of winning a back to back title.

***

The Virginia Colonials' 100% Homegrown Starting Rotation will feature a 20-game winner, a 15 game winner and three with 10 Wins or more. All 5 starters in Double-Digit wins plus two 200 K guys.

***

The Virginia Colonials will NOT win the STOUT.... NOT win the Wildcard.... and finish 3rd in the division.

***

Dale O'Hegarty will reclaim his starting All-Star SS spot.

***

A Virginia Colonial will win the Stolen Base title for the 5th consecutive season.

I'll do a bunch for my team, but will have to dig deeper to expand league wide....

Dale O'Hegarty will reclaim his starting All-Star SS spot.

I'll do my part to make this happen by moving Geoff Scott off of SS to 2B.
