Well, Gil McDougald managed to save my season. The team was below .500 past the midway point, but the division was more or less at parity. Having a weak September schedule helped me cruise to the playoffs for the 7th straight time with a 89-73 record. He's got 80 range/80 error/75 arm/84 dp. Shortstop isn't his best position though- only 77 rating there, vs 81 at 3rd and 93 at 2nd. In 96 games he went .240/.327/.374, 40 runs, 10 HR, 35 RBI. So better OBP than Carew for that season, but worse average. Probably 50 points lower average and 20 points lower OBP in an average season, but considering the defensive difference at two positions, that seems acceptable. Jose Reyes has trained up to 68 at 2nd, might get a few more points yet.

I thought I might be well positioned for a spoiler run, because I had done well against the best team in the league, and did well in interleague play against top teams- then I got swept 3-0 in the divisional round.

Managed to snag the David Wright card I needed for 17k or so... almost got it for 4.5k, but someone bid it up with like 20 minutes remaining. So one card away from my target. So if I get really lucky, I might finish the Mets mission and perhaps the NL live cards too.

I started this season 20-2 (make that 20-3, lost a game 2-1 as I was typing this up -_-). Weak division a bit maybe, but considering how last season went, a pretty good start. I did rearrange my lineup quite a bit, so good to see it seems to be doing okay.

A .341 OBP on my team would be about average, and at a defensive position would be great.
