Bootleggers, Wonderboy and other mythological figures are stuck in the middle

The first month of the season is coming close to being in the books – yet I still haven’t finished all these team “previews.” It seems pretty ridiculous to write team blurbs at this point, so I’ll post the remaining draft grades along with favorite picks

Moonshiners

Projected Finish: Seventh

2011 Finish: Third

AVG: C .. HR: A … R: A … RBI: A … SB: D … W: F … ERA: F … WHIP: F … K: D … SV: C

Marc’s favorite draft pick: Emilio Bonifacio, Round 5 – Had a great 2011, qualifies at SS and his name is fun to say!

Mike’s favorite draft pick: David Freese, Round 6 – World Series MVP has had trouble staying healthy, but he was one of the more solid hitters at a thin 3B

Naturals

Projected Finish: Sixth

2011 Finish: Second

AVG: A … HR: C … R: C … RBI: C  … SB: C … W: F … ERA: C … WHIP: D … K: C … SV: C

Marc’s favorite draft pick: Nick Markakis, Round 4 – I refuse to believe that his power will not break through … some day

Nick’s favorite draft pick: Jesus Montero, Round 1 – expected to put up 1B-type numbers from the C position

Demigods

Projected Finish: Fourth

2011 Finish: Fifth

AVG: A … HR: B … R: B … RBI: B … SB: C … W: D … ERA: A … WHIP: A … K: F … SV: C

Marc’s favorite draft pick: Bud Norris, Round 12 – wildcard flier, could collect a lot of Ks

Dom’s favorite draft pick: Freddie Freeman, Round 1 – Seemed somewhat similar to Eric Hosmer, but wasn’t getting near as much hype
