good season everyone! good luck to everyone in the playoffs. I'm rooting for PO to shock the world.

i enjoyed this year a lot despite my 4th year of shit.

GOOD:

- Kyle Bryant went from a solid youngster to a star SS.
- grabbed a young power bat who hit stride in 2nd half of year, Jose Valdez
- John Tyler continued to progress and we locked him up long term
- saw a nice uptick in attendance
- got some youngsters some extended playing time that hopefully helps their development.

BAD:

- went from being in a position to grab 2 or 3 studs in free agency to round out my roster to being in the hole after the INT'l fiasco.
- lost 2 of my top <25 pitching prospects to year long injuries

It has nothing to do with what you did, only that Nick "planned" to finish second

Why would anyone purposely miss out on a bye???

Whether he did it on purpose or not...I will take the division and my bye and run with it

100% agree. There are at least 3 games (if you sweep) where you risk the chance at injuries. There is always that chance someone might tear a MCL walking from the dugout to the on deck circle.

You beat your pythag by 6 and were way better than I expected you to be (I was thinking 60-70 wins), so well done there sir. With Bryant, Brown, Espinoza, and Valdez you have the makings of a solid and affordable infield for years to come as well. I thought Edgardo Torres would continue his development a little bit more but I guess he is only 18 (even though those IFAs that offseason came with full potential despite being 14-16). If you can get Ruffin and Walsh to take the next step, certainly a dangerous team next year.

I doubt we beat Miami, but if we do we're going to the ALCS, no way in hell we lose to Houston

AA finishes with a 12.0 WAR while starting only 139 games

F. Rajas has a solid rookie campaign

Eric Reynolds tops 40 HRs for the 3rd time in his career

Vulture Harris with a nice season

Don't think we have what it takes to make much noise in the playoffs, but we'll show up anyhow

to be honest if I have to face Trevino or Jamison in the playoffs again I might vomit
