FBLG 2016 Final News and Notes

May your offseason be bat-flippingly awesome.

Thank you all once again for a fantastic 2016 season. With just 167 points separating 1st and 6th place and just 381 points separating 1st and 9th, this was the most competitive FBLG season in history.

Hundley Eyes led all pitching staffs with 1839 combined points (starters and closers). Fresh Fish had 1816 and Lawyers, Guns & Money came in third at 1698.

The top offense this year belonged to Arbitration Losers with 2890 points. Next was Retire 21 at 2866, The Lumbar Yard at 2843 and Pitch You Blockhead at 2822.

We don't want to imply that pitching wins championships, but the three top pitching staffs finished 1, 2, and 4 in overall points. The top hitting teams finished 5th, 8th, 3rd and 9th.

Next year's draft order:

1. Bill
2. Scott
3. Ray
4. Reid
5. Henry
6. Tim
7. Matt
8. Adam
9. Rick
10. Rich/Brian

Please contact the commissioners if you don't plan to play next year. We've already heard from some of you who will be back, and we're glad to hear it. This group has made for an extremely fun and competitive league the past couple years.

We'd also love to hear any feedback about rules changes that have been implemented the past couple years (catcher points for caught stealing, extra bench spot/UFA, September DL moves, etc.) We have no rule changes planned for next season, so feedback on what we've done and any suggestions you have are welcome.

With that, the commishes sign off for the winter. Plan to hear from us around Super Bowl time as we start to ramp up for next year's draft.
