Last year it looked like the New York Titans had finally turned things around, jumping from third to first place and making it all the way to the World Series before being defeated by the Miami Hurricanes.
This year the Titans fell all the way to last place, losing 14 more games than they did last season. If that wasn't bad enough for the Titans they got even worse news at the end of the season when they found out that their best player,
Dave Thompson (13-7, 2.50) tore his labrum and will miss the next ten months. At 34 years old it will be a difficult injury for Thompson to recover from.
It also looks like age caught up to 34 year old
Eddie Quick, who was 13-11 with a 2.19 ERA last year, but fell to 5-18 with a 4.17 ERA this year. Only two pitchers have ever lost more games in a season than Quick,
Mark Roulston and
Josh Muscat who each lost 19 games.
The Titans are hoping that top prospect
Omar Pena is ready for the majors. Pena got his feet wet in September going 2-1 with a 3.34 ERA.
At the plate
Eddie Collins had a down season seeing his batting average fall from .354 last year to .276 this season. His WAR fell from 4.6 to 1.8.
