2017 Major League Baseball Thread vs. Jolly Roger's Baseball Machine

[China Rider]

the best outfield in all of baseball, the pittsburg pirates

with an all new look, everyone rotated to the right

LF - polanco - this is the year he explodes, at least 25 hrs and 100 rbis
CF - marte - going for 3rd straight gold glove, first season playing CF, will steal 60+ bases if gets at least 585 ABs
RF - mccutchen - weakest link and wasn't long ago he was NL MVP

starting rotation of:
cole - has proven success, needs to recover from last season injuries/ineffectiveness
taillion - i think will be SP if pirates play in WC game, he's 6'9 240, can hit 98mph and among leaders in BB per 9
nova - pitched great in NL after traded right before deadline, having cervelli has a catcher again is huge, pirates paid him in the winter and expect him to deliver
glasnow - has potential to be a top 3 K pitcher, throws gas but accuracy, past injuries, pressure, and inexperience are a concern
kuhl -24 year old showed promise last year, making 14, but I think his ceiling is a steady #3 on a traditional rotation

as a former louisville slugger and teacher of the game i've been selling altuve/correa for past year and a half

i'm selling them as the most dynamic 2b/ss duo when taking into account all aspects of the game, specially considering their youth

and yeah i lucked out, the only part of the series i've seen is the 7th inning till end of game 5

i love that playoff baseball is being broadcasted like the masters, as in they keep speaking to a minimum
