| This man does everything well and is one of of the league's best hitters. But he never smiles. If you don't believe it, do a Google image search. It's freaky. |

Season highlights
With back to the wall in first round of the playoffs, blew out Lawyers, Guns & Money to narrowly earn the win on cumulative points. ... Came out guns blazin' in the third-place matchup, winning with back-to-back 200-point weeks. ... Four-game winning streak early in the season included wins over Muumuu and Misfits. ... Outfield of mainly Starling Marte, Carlos Gonzalez and Shin-soo Choo was the league's best-scoring unit, averaging over 46 points per week. ... Also led league in points at second base and third base, both helped by late-round pick Matt Carpenter (and also, yes, by Pablo Sandoval). ... Pitching staff lacked a clear ace, but Cole Hamels, Kris Medlen, Gerrit Cole and Travis Wood led a solid group.
In a nutshell
PYB's head-to-head record was probably a little better than it should have been, but that doesn't diminish from a fine season. Carpenter and the outfield kept PYB in contention until the pitching staff got hot in the season's second half and into the playoffs. PYB will look to build a little more depth next year and probably doesn't want to hear the name "Omar Quintanilla" ever again, but this team looks like it will contend at the top for the foreseeable future.
