TEAM WRAP UPS

#4 Pittsburgh Pirates 1979 - The Pirates mashed 144 home runs and stole 122 bags providing easily the best combination of power and speed in the league. Bruce Kison and Bert Blyleven spearheaded a solid staff that got a huge season from its fifth starter, John Candelaria. They finished three spots ahead of their seed and look to be dangerous entering round 2.

#1 Chicago Cubs 1906 - The top seed in the tournament failed to win its league in round 1, but they finished great down the stretch and shrugged off the mid season blues. This team was all about getting on base and using defense to secure its leads. They led in runs, avg and obp which helped to get to big leads their 8th place bullpen couldn't even blow. The bullpen is going to be a large concern entering round 2.

#7 Oakland Athletics 1981 - The team no one expected to be here. Led by its dominant trio of outfielders: Henderson, Armas and Murphy. The team was last in runs despite being only surpassed by Pittsburgh in long balls with 137. The pitching was dominant, front to back. Langford, Keough and Underwood ate up batters and the first place bullpen was untouchable delivering a 2.66 ERA.

#3, Boston Red Sox 2013 - They finished 7.0 games ahead of being eliminated and thus there was no race to watch at the end of the season. The Red Sox carry Mike Napoli and David Ortiz to the next round who were a large part of this offense. All of Boston's struggles were in pitching where they had no true dominant starter but were even all the way through the staff. Someone will need to step up in round 2.

#8 San Diego Padres 1989 - The last seed in the tournament barely was eliminated, finishing one spot out. Rookie Andy Benes combined with Bruce Hurst and Tony Gwynn to power this team all year.

#2 Baltimore Orioles 1979 - Amazing to see a top notch seed already gone. The Orioles failed to score all season and finished 7th in OBP despite stars like Gary Roenicke, Eddie Murray, Ken Singleton and Al Bumbry.

#6 New York Highlanders 1904 - Jack Chesbro may have been the only reason this team stuck around as long as they did. The pitching was bad and somehow managed to avoid finishing last. Willie Keeler and Patsy Dougherty were the lone bright spots batting.

#5 St. Louis Cardinals 1926 - A team that managed to win the world series from the Yankees somehow finishes in last. A team with Pete Alexander and Rogers Hornsby somehow couldn't find a way. Pitching was a nightmare, and the offense never clicked.
