Year 1/2020

66-96, 40 GB, sixth place (last)

I was predicted for 56 wins, so I am about as happy as I can by while totally stinking.

My first-ever draft pick in my first-ever feeder league (#4 overall) is Will Atkinson, a 1B with a great glove, good power and good eye who hit .337 with 10 HR in 50 games at Gainsville College. I have the supplemental first-rounder (#22) for losing ace pitcher Nick Parker and grab Mark Hanson, who has three plus-pitches, touches 98 and had a 2.93 ERA in 11 starts at Ann Arbor College.

Tommy Lane broke down again and I got 63 games for my $18.4 mil. At least it was a really good 63 games (28 2b, 12 HR, 1.020 OPS, 3.5 WAR). My 3B acquisition Vina also broke and had 0.6 WAR in 51 games. I had only four other position players with at least 1.0 WAR:

DH Jim Rousch .320-14-91/1.9 WAR
LF Julio Garcia .274-15-51/1.2
C Marv Richardson .261-5-48/1.2
1B Dennis Mack .293-6-50/1.0

The pitching was about as good as could be expected.

SP Jordan Greene (6-18, 3.76) had no luck, but was a serviceable No. 1 on a bad team
SP Cristobal Ortiz (12-12, 4.25) was much-improved
SP Mario Rosado (8-9, 3.86) came out of the minors
SP Fernando Castro (9-10, 4.03) was an Opening Day waiver claim from KC
SP Cade O’Halloran (7-12, 5.14) was a $2.5 mil FA signing who was mediocre

SP Lou Benjamin (0-6, 5.35) was sent to Texas in July for 3A RP Tommy Landry (2.41 ERA) and we swapped low-level prospects with me giving up RF Dan Cochran, 20 (.222 in 20 games at SA after hitting .362 last year at R and .349 there this year) and getting Sy-ing Tseng (21, 3.91 in 5 starts at SA).

Reason: typos, 56 predicted wins, not 55, still good!
