Expectations in the selections of the different six teams:
Eastern Stars
The Stars They enjoy top-notch native material on every part of their roster. Judging by their players on the reserve list, it seems that they will have a new year with high chances of fighting for a postseason position, more now having from a new general manager to the philosophy of Fernando Tatis as helmsman, who was a champion manager with the team. in 2018-19, awarding them a title after a bitter 51-year run.
Going from a world of sweet and pleasant flavors in its great quantity and quality of native material, in addition to observing part of its movements in the dead season of LIDOM, expectations with Eastern Stars They should drive full blast down one road: pitching evolution.
Not simply because it has been his lame leg in recent winter seasons, but also, both from the relief pitching part as well as the starter, he needs to impregnate a philosophy linked to the revolution and transferred generational command.
Giants of the Cibao
The Giants of the Cibao they have one of the lineups with the most offensive material in the entire league, in addition to those who have reinforced this part during the offseason. But outside of that, reaching the draft as league runners-up, all expectations should be borne in the sum of top talent from the mound.
The Giants They have shown signs of identifying these flaws, such as the announcement of the hiring of foreign national Dylan Unsworth, a top pitcher in the Mexican Baseball League (LMB).
It is not about a single season, but as much for a project that represents the precedent and future commitment of the organization; that’s why the draft, establishing itself in the new generations and their development process.
Lions of the Chosen One
The Lions today their mission for the future is: “not to stumble over the same stone.” The scarlet organization goes through one of the worst processes for the Caribbean style of play and it was not preparing for future generations and not maintaining nuclei of players who can play year after year in the league consistently with the club.
In a way we could say that they have made progress in amending this evil that plagues them, as it has been an active offseason of great addictions of local talent. They have a team with great renowned players, from great pitching, hitting, defense and a high speed game.
With a view to the future, both this and future drafts, it should be to maintain the nuclei and the talent of players who may be in the league year after year, without moving away from foreign talent, which in a certain way has been their support staff. the last years.
Aguilas Cibaeñas
The current champions of Lidom and the Caribbean, Aguilas Cibaeñas, they have the privilege of having been able to maintain their core in recent years, which is evidenced by two championships in a journey that lasts no more than four years. The expectations for the draft should be from now on the generational change, especially the formation of new rangers.
Along with this and not least, the support to the painting should be a project from now on with a view to the future, following the same narrative as its search for new gardeners, as a consequence of the generational change in the face of future campaigns.
Tigres del Licey
The citizens of the capital come to the draft at a time of important transition for the future of the organization. 1) a new president; 2) new general manager. The organization is already looking into its fifth year without achieving what has been its great historical philosophy of going after championships every year.
The Tigres del Licey today they have to see the draft as one of their main allies. Organization which needs the new generations like the water man. His team has allowed him to perceive this in recent years, who need from outfielders, pitchers (mainly relief), as well as infielders who begin to impregnate a new future on the letters of the so-called “Glorious”.
Bulls of the East
The bullfighting has perhaps been the greatest example of what defines the Draft from Lidom the last years. Those who have gone from being the Cinderella of the tournament to one of the teams with the greatest competitive role, such is reflected in their 2019-20 Lidom championship, along with their coronation as a club from the Dominican Republic in the 2020 Caribbean Series .
The advances of the Bulls are reflected from his roster laureates in recent years, to the number of active players under his control in Lidom from the American Major Leagues (MLB). Having a team with great virtues throughout the field, in addition to the coexistence of young people and veterans.
If we were to flip a coin or play a Toros lottery ticket at Draft As a rookie, he would undoubtedly be more supportive to his receiving corps, as well as tightening the nuts with new pitchers.
