Here are my 2024 projections Done in record time this year! I'm not retired yet but my new job does not require much effort so I'm been working on my projections. Looks like lots of teams on the playoff bubble so good luck refuting my predictions. I'm looking forward to another fun season! AMERICAN LEAGUE Projected Finish
The AL looks a little easier to vet out than the NL. Appears that Blue Grass, Bissel Cove, California and Yorktown are solid playoff teams. The Blues are heavily in and have a solid all around team. The Blue Fish are loaded for the future and will still win 100 games this year ... same as it ever was.
The Dreamers do not look like they are all in, but still a solid team, while the Admirals have been arming up. The ultimate outcome will likely depend on what moves the contenders make in-season.
I think the 5th spot will be between the Whippets and the Dragons. Both flawed but decent teams.
Hotlanta and Louisville are both just mediocre teams that would need some serious upgrades to make a playoff push.
It appears that Grayson, Belmont Street, Arsenal and Atlanta will be 1-4 in the draft next season ... which will inflate the rest of the AL team records. I think the clear favorite to be #1 in the draft will be Atlanta ... that would be four times in six seasons! Yikes ... hopefully the suffering pays off soon. ....click here to see projected team details for the American League
Projected Finish
It looks to be another very competitive season in the NL during 2024. I do think that CT and BB are the two best teams. But after that it gets very challenging to determine who is likely to make the playoffs. The Blue Devils have an excellent rotation and one of the best closers in Phillips. Freeman and Seager lead a very solid offense. Just a solid team top to bottom.
The Bucs are right there. Not the big names, but a very good lineup. Also, they probably have the league's best rotation. Good pen as well. Should be a real battle for the NL regular season crown.
I'm going with Taxachusets, Hazardville and US next. I put Norwich and Zante on the bubble.
I see Allyn Street, Wall Street, FoggyMountain, Illinois and Klee's on the outside looking in.
In this season of challenging pitching, I figure the Chiefs and Jarheads will slug their way into the playoffs. The Kegs are also a bit light on the pitching, but a fairly well balanced team.
Wall Street is interesting as they have one of the NL's better starting rotations. However, a 3e25 at SS and crappy offense are not good things.
Big question ... will the Klubbers get out of the basement? ....click here to see projected team details for the National League Good luck to everyone. Ed
