Vancouver finished with 73 wins this year, 11 more wins than last year. Things didn't really goes as planned this year with a couple of moves not turning out as I expected, but luckily we were able to recover and deal Matt Moore to the Knights. That's the type of contract that isn't always easy to move, so I don't feel it's a repeatable strategy. Moore has done well in Carolina though, going 4-2 with 2 saves with a 2.18 ERA in 66 innings while pitching exclusively out of the pen, although according to rumors Moore has demanded a trade from Carolina.
Checking in on another traded pitcher, Logan Howard was 9-10 with a 3.81 ERA in 33 starts for the Angels. Most of his stats look similar to last year, except for the big jump in ERA.
One bit of news for Vancouver that made fans happy was signing AC Bancroft to a one year $900,000 extension to avoid arbitration.
One thing that I've tried to get better at is paying closer attention to other teams and players around the league. It's definitely harder with all fictional players, so I feel that it makes things a little bit easier trying to improve. I'm going to try and make a little more effort to show things around the league at the high level.
Let's take a look at the top hitters in the league:
