And during this series I was finally able to cash in Perfect Johan for ~80k after tax, so my team will be fundamentally different. I'm hoping to get a true ace for the roster, pick up an upgrade to my CF offense and depth, and fix that RF revolving door that Koenecke and Gwynn have partially filled for a while.
The lesson I've learned this week: Even on an all-in lefties team, you gotta still play the platoon game. Jeff Bagwell (RHB) went 2 for 4 with a 2B, HR, 4 RBI and 2R in an 8-5 game 5 win in the divisional series. This is as opposed to Dixie Walker, who would have otherwise taken the DH slot, who went 1 for 9 with no walks and no RBI in the series. We'll see how the revamped Quantum Condors perform next week.
Meanwhile, as the only remaining OL team in the Diamond playoffs, I'm hoping Cal can take home a trophy for the OL. But that's just gravy at this point.
