Ok, the draft is over. There may be some trades between now and Sunday’s 8pm roster deadline. But assuming we stand pat, I thought it would be fun to see how our new rosters did on June 1 – 2.
So I asked BP. There are some important caveats:
- BP just gives total raw stats, paying no attention to allocations or replacements. So consider this at best a hint of your team’s June total resources. It’s your job to allocate to make the most of them.
- It’s only June 1 and 2. Especially with pitching it could be misleading since no one’s rotation is likely to have completely rotated.
Given these caveats, here’s what BP told me:

In truth, of course, it doesn’t mean anything. But I am so thankful for this little glimpse of what 2017 might have been.
