| Ace Clayton Kershaw "fell" all the way to third in this year's draft; is he the 2014 No. 1 pick? |
Overview
Head-to-head record: 6-12 (9th place)
Postseason: 0-5 in consolation round-robin

Season highlights
Swept regular season series with Testosteraun Braun and Fresh Fish. ... Clayton Kershaw's 507 points led all FBLG players by a healthy margin. ... Starting rotation of Kershaw, Jorge de la Rosa, Kyle Lohse and Charlie Morton was one of FBLG's best, ranking sixth in the league with 50 points/week despite not having a fifth starter. ... Brandon Belt was one of the NL's best hitters in the second half. ... David Wright was far and away the best third baseman in the league before being injured.
In a nutshell
The Sagebrushers were crippled by injuries and underachivers, with Rickie Weeks, Starlin Castro, David Wright, Andre Ethier, Dexter Fowler and J.J. Putz all either missing time with injuries, losing their starting job or just plain putting up bad numbers. This team suffered from poor management after a decent draft, and with some care would have contended for a playoff berth. They will be under new ownership in 2014, so expect to see a lot fewer duds in the lineup next season.
