Draft

The evening before the draft....
Why are you even reading this tonight, get busy ranking

Weekly Stats Summary

Vasco Abreu is an early Cy Young Favorite.  Although that is based solely on wins.

What would Rick Magadan record be if he was on a good team

Tony Ramirez is having a great saves season.

How did Miguel Maduro get so many saves?

Billy Lockwood and Grover Christensen are on better teams than Magadan but their records do not match their stats either.

Karim Castro is a marvel.

William Burks and Marc Christman make quite a powerful combination.

Lorenzo Maduro laughs at D.T. Lidge's failure as base stealer.

Seriously though, Tomas Mateo needs to stop stealing.

Carlos Mendez had a 26 game hit streak.  41 is the best all time.

Carlos Mota has 13 plus plays...as a short stop playing 3b.  Pete Bohanon has 13 in CF.   Vladimir Moreno also has 13 but as a 1b.

Calvin Gomes has 15 - plays at 3b.  He is a rf with a 39 glove so no surprise.

Breakout Candidate:Jumbo Cox

Here is a place for Lesliechow to collect some of the better Jumbo Cox jokes.

As a player I find it shocking he is in the majors.  More shocking however is he has had some success.

Today it was said " Huge day for Jumbo Cox! Giving Yamil Veras a blow, he stepped up and really stuck it to the opposition"

Team Captains: Yo Bo

Bo Thomas storms the field daily with the vigors of Duke but his play is more like Destro, a weapons dealer.  A five tool athlete, Thomas is carrying Washington to new heights this season, sort of.

While Washington currently in last place the team has experienced some stretches of extended success.  The current 4 game losing streak has dropped them below .500 for the first time all season.

Worth mentioning however is that Thomas is not the best player on the team.  Like most team leaders he is the clubhouse presence that steadies other players.  When reporters need to talk, they go to Thomas.
