[USML Announce] Draft Day Scorecard: I Graded Your Efforts, So You Don't Have To

Thu Mar 17 21:25:29 EDT 2011

In defense of the Brats, I would note that Bradley is already in mid-season form, in more ways than one.

Milton Bradley was ejected in the third inning of Wednesday's game against the Brewers after arguing a called third strike.
The perennially troubled Bradley actually is having a great spring, hitting .348/.423/.522 in 23 at-bats.  The offensively anemic Mariners probably will need his bat this season, and so thus far they have been willing to put up with his behavior, on the field and off.

Red Hots:  A+   Needed to avoid big mistakes, and did so. If

necessary, must be willing to part company with young keepers and hope

Mister Bailey does not foreclose his pennant quest.  Team most likely

to unseat the King. Er, dethrone, I should say, my Lord.

K-9: A   Simply because he came with a strategy and followed it, right

down to the Arrieta.

LMC:   A-   Established veterans, cheap keepers, and Mike Moustakas.

AYM:  B+  Has power, needs Cain to steal some sacks and Baker to start.

Dads:   B   Needs Kendry(s) to bounce back, but buttressed retainees

with good speed and fair pitching.

Nukes:  B-  Tough to gauge this team because of so many question

marks. Could surprise, stun or shock and awe.

Brats:   C+  Pitching + Bradley==high risk.

Bombers:  C   Socializes too much. Needs to focus on task at hand.

Berliners:   F   Consistently underachieves.
