A couple days ago, I posted about Steve’s Card Computer which among other things, gives us a glimpse into the 2016 APBA cards. Mike Bunch, our commissioner in the Illowa APBA League, has been predicting APBA for years as well and he’s gotten pretty good at it. He’s at it again and has just sent me more predictions for hitters and pitchers.
Keep in mind, these predictions are for Illowa APBA League players only. You can see Mike’s predictions here.
If Mike is right, I’m liking how my Thunderchickens’ pitching staff is looking next year.
- Roark, T. A (Y)
- Hellickson, J. B (Y) (Z)
- Liriano, F. C (X) (W)
- Strasburg, S. B (K)
- Niese, J. D (C*) (Y)
- Rodriguez, E. C (Y)
- McCullers, L. B (K) (W)
- Kelly, J. D (C*) (X) (Y) (W)
- Familia, J. A* (X) (W)
- Siegrist, K. A* (X) (W)
- Ross, R. B* (X) (W)
- Putnam, Z. A* (X) (W)
Time will tell. For now, the Illowa League still needs to finish the 2016 season. Tomorrow starts our annual All-Star weekend.
thanks, Mike!
Robbie Ross is a great example of “who gets an X?”. Even though he’s got more strikeouts than innings pitched, I predict Ross will get a Y, not an X.
Why? The league averages are both over 8K/9 (for the first time ever), and 13s will be more abundant than ever on hitters’ cards.
Time will tell!
i agree with steve that apba should give out less x and more 13’s on cards just not sure apba will do that.
