Mike Bunch, the president of the Illowa APBA League, announced his annual predictions for the coming APBA baseball card set for our league. He’s been doing this for years and I find his swami-style predictions on par with Bruce Norlander from the Between the Lines forum.
I’m posting them here if you want to take a look. It includes predictions for hitters and pitchers. Disclaimer: Mike does predictions for players in our league only. That said, it’s a 10-team league with a good representation of the MLB.
Long story short: hitting is down and pitching is up. On a personal note, I’m glad my Twin City Thunderchickens are making a run for the 2013 playoffs. It doesn’t look like we’ll have much of a chance next year. Pujols is forecasted to have a relatively weak 1-5-6 and Markakis will have just two 0s if Mike is right.
Thanks Mike!
I like the way he gives the pitching grades in the basic game format instead of the master game like the others do. I could be wrong but I think more people play the basic game.
Hi Wayne,
Yeah, we don’t use MG so much anymore so there wasn’t much point. I should post the MG pitching grade chart for easy conversion on the article about Bruce. Thanks for the reminder!
