End of the Year Standings!!!

The year is over, a division champion has been crowned, the post season is set and my predictions were not accurate. Let’s dive into it!

8th Place- San Francisco Electricity
Record: 45-64
Highlighted players final stats:
• Jorge Merced (25, LF): .306/.387/.559, 27 HR, 59 RBI, 5.7 WAR
• Christian Girault (30, DH): .236/.329/.501, 30 HR (led league), 67 RBI, 1.9 WAR
• Bobby Powell (24, RF): .272/.310/.427, 14 HR, 47 RBI, 1.4 WAR
• Jose Vazquez (25, 3B): .261/.330/.493, 24 HR, 40 RBI, 3.0 WAR
• Aston Walden (28, SP): 12-9, 4.40 ERA, 128 K, 71 BB, 1.4 WAR
• Mike Payne (28, SP): 10-9, 3.82 ERA, 82 K, 38 BB, 0.9 WAR
• Ivan “Fossil” Hernandez: 2-3, 1.44 ERA, 26 ERA, 67 K, 1.7 WAR
Story: The Electricity ended the season as they began. Badly. They ranked 7th in runs scored and 8th in runs against. Their starting pitching and bullpen (outside the Fossil) are completely incompetent with very few salvageable pieces. The offence, on the other hand, is young and has potential, especially with their trade for Vazquez who caught fire after joining San Fran, raising his average by 40 points and doubling his WAR in half the games. Maybe they can get something going next year to supplement their cheap hitting core. Northern California can only hope and pray.

7th Place- Denver Thunderbirds
Record: 47-62
Highlighted players final stats:
• Thomas “Tugboat” Pike (30, C): .351/.439 (led league)/.644 (led league), 28 HR, 71 RBI, 6.6 WAR (led league)
• Britt Thompson (27, LF): .302/.366/.440, 10 HR, 61 RBI, 2.1 WAR, lead league in triples (6)
• Terry George (31, 1B): .298/.371/.515, 17 HR, 71 RBI, 3.0 WAR
• Leonidas Vlakhou (28, SP): 13-8, 2.48 ERA, 163 K, 51 BB, 4.5 WAR, lead league in innings (189.0)
• Maximo Dominguez (28, SP): 8-10, 3.86 ERA, 114 K, 51 BB, 2.3 WAR
• Laval and Wilson both ended the year in the minors and were highlighted only based on how bad they were
• Lynn “Dawg” Haines (31, SP): 1-3, 1.93 ERA, 41 K, 7 BB, 1.3 WAR (season ending injury after only four games)
• Miguel Morales (26, CL): 3-3, 2.28 ERA, 18 SV, 48 K, 1.3 WAR
Story: This team had a positive run differential. They were second in the league in offence. They had the “probable” MVP in Tugboat. The Birds really blew a talented team. With a 14-27 record in one run games and a Pythagorean record of 56-54, the Birds are, ultimately, extremely unlucky. Next year, however, their ace, Haines will be back to support Vlakhou whose become an ace in his own right. And the offence will still be potent. And maybe, the balls will bounce their way. Then they will be something to fear. But not this year.

6th Place- Boise Badgers
Record: 48-61
Highlighted players final stats:
• Miguel Padilla (24, LF): .257/.312/.528, 23 HR, 60 RBI, 1.8 WAR
• Jason Savage (25, 3B): .242/.327/.709, 13 HR, 47 RBI, 2.1 WAR (2.4 WAR in 72 games with Salt Lake and -0.3 WAR in 31 games with Boise)
• Gary Crawford (28 SP): 6-10, 3.31 ERA, 145 K, 46 BB, 2.5 WAR
• Edmund Lewis (27, SP): 7-6, 2.80 ERA, 119 K, 33 BB, 2.6 WAR
Story: Post deadline, this team has the least talent in the league. Trading Ervin and Vazquez bolstered the bullpen, lowering their ERA from 4.27 to 3.47 to end the season. Sadly, that is still the highest number in the league. The one place the Badgers were solid in was their starting rotation and they actually ended up second in runs against. However, both of their best starting pitchers, Crawford and Lewis, are free agents and are not likely to return. The Badgers most likely have the dimmest future in the league, which is a sad state for their owner Crump who was the one who conceptualised the league in the first place.
