Quite a disappointing season in my opinion, i felt that i had improved greatly buy bringing in David Dahl, Carrasco & Quintana, but Carrasco had a poor season finishing 9-9, Chris David declined fast, and overall a lot of injuries this season, however we did lose to the eventual winners of the World Series

This season for me was very frustrating, whenever i built up a good winning or pitching streak, a star player would get injured, players moaning about new contracts, lots of older guys going down hill (Chris Davis mainly) & loosing in the World Series to a hugely over-powered LA Dodgers team!

Feeling like 1 World Series triumph doesn't look so good now iv'e been here 6 seasons

[joshbrady91]

Owner Goals - Bob Angelos;
Reach the World Series. - We certainly reached it
Find a Top 10 Prospect. - Traded prospect Jon Ortiz for Mike Higginbottom who was ranked 9 in the top 100 prospects, although Jon Ortiz looks better in my eyes!
Increase team profit. - Failed this again, but Bob doesn't seem to mind too much seeing as we are having good seasons, however i may need to lower my payroll if this goal comes up again.
Bring another championship to Baltimore by 2025. - Mission accomplished

Side Notes;
I am very happy with my free agent signing A.J Reed, 36 Home Runs, 95 RBI's, 3.7 WAR.

David Dahl was injured for 8 or so months and only managed to play 14 games, i wish i had not given him a 3 year extension at the beginning of the season.

Manny Machado probably had his finest year this year at 31 years old, he had a career high of 126 RBI's, career high of .574 SLG, career high of .961 OPS, career high of 8.7 WAR, 34 HR, AVG of .325 & +12.8 ZR.
