a glance at the Hawks
a glance at the Hawks
Capn Jack -MBBP beat writer
Hawks Look to Soar Above the Field.
As Omaha gets ready for the long season ahead, i'm wondering... How far can these Hawks go?
Now you may be saying "wait a minute here, who is this Capn Jack guy anyway, and what does he know about the League of Brewster?"
Well here's the short end, I'm new. Don't know alot about the league in its current form, but have been aware of it's existance for years now.
Big time Baseball fan, only can watch my team tho. Maybe some post season, but just the passion i feel for me team isn't the same. For me being a fan of baseball, is more than being a fan of a game.
It's elation and gloom, on a daily basis for 7 months of the year. Its a new chance every day to start over. It's Life!
Now as for Omaha, here's my coompletly unbiased and misinformed opinion of there lineup.
C- Antonio Robles
Solid middle of the order lefthanded goodness. At age 28, and playing a pivitol role such as catcher, this guys role on the team is second to none. Definetely considered among his peers to be a leader not only in the club house but on the field.
1B- Sergio Maldonado
In comparison to his other first base counterparts in the league, Maldonado might not equal the greats. But his role on the team has been earned. His hard work and determination make up for his lack of power and could be the spark plug guy at the bottom of the order for this team.
2B- James Monger
"Slap" Can play two positions, has great patience at the plate and oh yeah is built like a brick uhhh steam house. He is another one of those workhorses in the cage and weight room, and at 24 has a few years to grow.
SS- Harlan Moore
This guys glove explains it all, consistently pumping out numbers, (career .310 BA) He your natural 2nd slot bat. +speed, and a natural doubles hitter. Been around the league a while, injuries could be an issue.
3B- Emilio Morales
One of the best 3B in his prime. The guy like to fish, which goes a way to explain his patience at the plate. Can he be the catylist this team need to take them to the next stage. I'm trying to light a fire under his butt.
LF- Martin Marin
ONe of those rare raw talents that has equal stats agains lefties and righties. Plus and arm that will gun you down at first if he's mad enough.
CF- Jimmy Starks Jr.
This team will go as far a Jimmy Starks takes them. He is the premier leadoff man in the league and his abilties are second to none. My early season MVP favorite!!!
RF- Aubrey Anderson
Solid LEft handed at bat. nothing to out standing tho has shown power potential.
This team has the tools offensively to make an impact in the division. It's pitching remains the key to how far they can go this year. Starters are a solid bunch of ragtags and hooligans, who have enough talent to bring them to the cusp. The Bullpen remains questionable, who will step up?
This has been a quick look at the closest team to me geographically, (well them or Boise, and who likes potatos???).
Be back next time folks

Re: a glance at the Hawks
The Hawks are getting good enough that Yellow Springs fans are beginning to think about raising them to the level of a real rivalry.
Nice runthrough.

Re: a glance at the Hawks
Thanks for the write up. I especially enjoyed it coming from a new guy who has not seen the team or has no biased opinions.
I do agree that we will only go as far as our starting pitching and bullpen take us.

Re: a glance at the Hawks
thanks for the links, I'll be sure to do that next time.
Also thanks for the support guys, I'm not much a writer but this league is going to make me a better one I hope. I've just been reading some of the great articles out there, and the history of the league.
Keep up the good work, i'll try and get another article out tonight.

Re: a glance at the Hawks
Don't worry about it, man. Frankly, most of us aren't that great, and I'd bet many of us have improved greatly over time. It's less a question of "How well do you write?" and more one of "Do you want to make up fake stories about fake players?".CapnJack wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 2:50 pmthanks for the links, I'll be sure to do that next time.
