Cincinnati, OH (McC.com) Listed below you will find the Robert E. McCabe Magazine Owner/Organization of the Year Award Winner and our Owner Power Rankings. This year we at McCabe Magazine will award organizations bonus points for winning the World Series and Pennant at each level. In addition, the owner will receive points for total wins at every level, winning the Division title, and for making the playoffs as a Wildcard. The Owner with the most points will receive the McCabe Magazine Owner of the Year Award.

His big league club should be in position to win the division and one or more of the lower level squads should be in position to capture a minor league World Series title. The Owner of the Year should field competitive teams at every level.

A LOOK BACK at SEASON 32 FA SIGNINGS

McCABE MAGAZINE SEASON 32 FREE AGENT SIGNINGS 
By one our many freelance reports slurie2001, owner/operator of the St Louis Cardinals.

Hi Sam "no spell check" Willie. I really liked your free agent analysis earlier this season. I have always had a fascination with Type A free agents and whether they pay off the year they are signed compared to the opportunity cost of the lost draft picks. Of course, it has to be looked at a much longer term view to truly assess but it is always interesting to get a sense of it the year of the signing. With that in mind, here is some rough analysis for your consideration. 

There were 13 type A signings across 9 teams. Of the 9 teams, 2 will finish with a record greater than .500 and up to 3 will make the playoffs (SF is two games out from the division with 4 to go as this is written). 

3 teams go multiplied type A free agents with the perspective that if one is going to sacrifice their first pick, it is not as costly to do so with their 2nd pick, etc. To be fair, one of the teams that got multiple type As (San Diego) did have one of their own Type A free agents taken. Of the 9 overalll teams that took a Type A, 3 had one of their type A free agents taken. 

So how did the free agents do in order of team's record as of the time of this writing:
1. Kansas City (95-63) with a massive improvement over the prior year. Their Type A (Horacio Corpas) had a relatively flat year compared to his career (down on Average, up on OPS) but overall, likely not a big contributor to KC's major uplift. 

2. San Diego (85-73) with a small improvement over the prior year. They got 3 Type As and all of them have had much better seasons than their career average. Interestingly, San Diego also traded one of them (Wolf Carpenter) to the Mets mid-season. One could argue that San Diego made some very savvy signings that helped them to stay playoff bound. 

3. San Francisco (77-81) - Their Type A #p6340659Kordell Watson (P)#p has had a very strong year compared to his ML averages and it can be considered a key factor in SF's improvement from the prior year. 

4. Detroit (76-82) - Their Type A #p6089031Archie French (P)#p improved on WHIP over his career but had a worse ERA and W/L record than his averages. Overall, not a big factor in Detroit's small decrease in wins from the prior year. 

5. Florida (72-86) - Two Type As that both played close to their expectations given their ML averages. Interestingly, one spent half the season in the minors. 

6. Anaheim (71-87) - Experienced a small improvement over last year but not likely due to their Type A signing #p5427142Kazuya Gong (CF)#p as he has had a down year compared to his averages. 

7. Rochester (71-87) - Had a small step back in their record despite their Type A #p6339967Fred Gonzales (LF)#p having one of the best seasons of his career. 

8. Boston (66-92) - While #p5474914Enerio Medrano (SS)#p performed exactly at his career averages, #p6088650Bengie Romero (C)#p played far worse than his norm and this contributed to Boston's challenging season. 

9. Tampa Bay (58-100) - Actually improved materially from last season and #p6088241Storm Weaver (RF)#p played a huge role in that improvement and also outperformed his career averages slightly. Clearly, a longer term play as TB expects similar improvement in the coming seasons. 

So overall, for the team with the biggest improvement, their Type A did not play a big role. Type As did play a key role for the next top teams (SD and SF) and then an interesting mix of results for the other teams watching the playoffs from the sidelines. While true value of the Type As can only be seen over multiple years and needs to accounts for scouting strategies for each team, always find the tradeoffs interesting.

SEASON 32 PREDICTIONS

ROBERT E. McCABE MAGAZINE SEASON 32 PREVIEW ISSUE
AND POSTSEASON AWARDS

Cincinnati, Ohio (MCM) – Welcome to season 32 and welcome to all the new owners, ojinga * Oakland Athletics, sbank65 * Philadelphia Phillies, and franknterry Atlanta Braves to the best and most exciting  league  on the web. Before we get started with the McCabe Magazine season preview I would like to apologize for the late publication of our preview issue. As some of you know I was just released from the Hamilton County Justice Center here in Cincinnati for violating a restraining order issued against me by Bill Edward’s inventor of the Squatty Potty. My attorney has advised me not discuss the case in public however I think it’s important that you guys know the details and the circumstances involving my arrest. I was the original Squatty Potty field tester and was involved with the design of the first prototype. Bill Edwards promised me $275 for testing the prototype plus expenses. My expenses included $21.50 for toilet paper, $7.95 for toilet wipes, $11.75 transportation costs, and $14.25 for dry cleaning cost for soil clothing. Without my testing of the original squatty potty the product would not have made it to market as a result I’m now asking for 10% of the gross sales. So again, I apologize for the late publication and for those of you who have renewed your subscription to McCabe Magazine I would like to say thank you, and for those of you who are thinking about renewing I hope this explanation explains any irregularities or concerns you may have had.

The Playoff Picture

In the American League the Washington Nationals will beat the Houston Astros for the American League pennant, and in the National League the Seattle Mariners will win their second consecutive National League pennant by beating the Cincinnati Reds. The division winners in the American League will be the Toronto Blue Jays, Washington Nationals, the Astro’s, and the San Francisco Giants. In the National League the titleholders will be the Reds, the New York Mets, Richmond Virginians, and the Mariners. The wildcard winners will be the New York Yankees, St Louis Cardinals, Cleveland Indians, and the San Diego Padres. 

We look forward to another exciting season, enjoy, and good luck to all.
