Well, Vida Blue had an immediate impact on my team. He went 7-5, with a 2.93 ERA, with the team going 4-0 in his no decisions. Managed to win over 100 games for the first time at the highest level, finishing 103-59 in the regular season.

Then I managed to knock out a 127-35 team in the division series in 5 games, with him bookending the first and last game with wins. Dwight Gooden led the league with a 2.25 ERA, 25 wins and 3 losses. Vida beat him twice in the divisional series. Then he got another win in a 7 game series that the team won against a 133-29 team. My combined record against these two teams in the regular season was 1-11. Vida Blue's playoff ERA is currently 1.64.

Feeling pretty good about the championship series, because I'm facing a team that is "only" 108-54. But their home ballpark is super pitcher friendly and they have really good defense. Might win my first perfect league championship, fingers are definitely crossed!

Edit: Well I lost 4-1 in the finals. Two, one run games, and a 3 run game. Still, pretty happy with the improvement. Came back down 0-3 to win against a 133-29 team. Definitely the best one of my team's has done given relative talent levels. I'm guessing a few more pieces, and I will be right there.
