EBA Players of the Month- August 2018

1B Sammy Dawbin of the Paris Patriots honored: Wins the EBA EBA Batter of the Month Award.
Dawbin is a 26 year old left-handed batting 1B-corner outfielder who absolutely rakes right handed pitching. He has progressed each of his four EBA seasons, though he has just over 2 years of full service time.
Will we ever see him in the MBBA? Of course, if he stays at his current talent levels. There's always room for a hitter like this coming off of an MBBA bench; heck, for a handful of teams he'd be a heavy-platoon starter.

Image
SP Eduardo López of the Munchen Brauers honored: Wins the EBA EBA Pitcher of the Month Award.
This 21 year old wunderkind is in his second full EBA season, and his first as a full time starter. Control is his only issue. He has an incredible live arm, good movement on three outstanding pitches, and is an outstanding team leader. He has a decent chance to win 20 games this year.
Will we ever see him in the MBBA? Undoubtedly.

Image
C Dominique Vizzoni of the Munchen Brauers honored: Wins the EBA EBA Rookie of the Month Award.
He won the award in April as well, the only two time winner of the EBA's monthly awards this season. Continues to dominate righties, and sit against lefties.
Will we ever see him in the MBBA? Quite possibly. Power and eye are good enough to overshadow his borderline contact and average at best defensive abilities.

Lopez kinda looks like this guy I know named Pearce. Don't you think they belong together in Omaha?

Lefty version of Sancho Delgado. What a duo that would be at the top of my rotation.

I'm amazed how well Pearce has done; I agonised between him and Guthrington in the amateur draft....no complaints about Guthrington, but Pearce has been sensational

Guthrington reminds me of Tiant from Madison. An elite reliever, but you wish that third pitch was better.

Pearce has been amazing. It's just a shame that he won't get a sniff of the Gillstrom because of Sunshine destroying all who oppose him.

I wouldn't say that. I'd say it's a dead heat between Pearce and Sunshine.

Maybe you're right, Pearce (5.1) has a higher WAR than Sunshine (4.7) at this point. Hopefully his 11-10 record doesn't hurt him. Just remember people, that's because of my poopy offense. :)

If Pearce wins, is it Walking on Sunshine instead?
