Championships - silver star: tournament champion, gold star: WSEM champion, gold triangle: division pennant
League averages - CON: 77, PWR: 77, PIT: 75, DEF: 79, OVR: 77 Team attribute ratings were determined by averaging the individual ratings of the four members of the WSEM Front Office's Tactical Media Wing. Contact (CON), power (PWR), pitching (PIT), and defense (DEF) were studied to determine overall (OVR) team rating. The thin bars included are the league average for each attribute. This writeup for King Friday is provided by Carl Coffee.
King Friday captain Richard Hurd once quoted something along these lines: “You start winning games when you stop having fun.” Richard isn’t concerned about wins or losses, he just enjoys having a team. This team isn’t predicted to do much, as most people I talked to have them winning anywhere from 0-2 games. They will be fun to play though, and they do actually have some bright spots. Adam Cosby doesn’t show up to a lot of games, but he will be the team’s best pitcher when he does. Ryan Hurd Jr. is the team’s young stud, and will be one of their best hitters. Their rookie, Rich Beach, is in his 40s, and he could be the next Roy Hobbs.
King Friday’s ratings aren’t pretty. They are in last place in all four categories, finishing with an overall rating of 47. Contact (45), Power (42), and Pitching (41) are obviously their weakness, but they do have a semi-decent rating for Defense at 62. The 2012 King Friday roster, which is very similar to this year's, was very impressive on the defensive side and the raters put a lot of stock in that. At the end of the season there won’t be a Cinderella story with this team. They won’t shock the world and slip into the playoffs. They will probably get crushed a lot. They will have fun though, and if they do upset someone to get their first win, you better believe it will be a fun sight to see.
