FINISH: 5th
REGULAR SEASON RECORD: 12-6
PLAYOFFS: First round: beat Project Mayhem 394.5-354.5; semifinals: lost to BodySuit Man 394.2-319.8.
MVP: Bryce Harper (473 points). The batting average didn't impress, but 34 homers, 99 RBIs, 130 walks and 103 runs added up for the Losers. Note: this is three straight teams who have had a National as their top scorer, and yet I don't recall the Nationals in the playoffs this year. Weird.
CY YOUNG: Jon Lester (335.7) won 18 games for the Cubbies, with 149 strikeouts in 181.2 innings. And he whined about every single pitch that wasn't called a strike... must've learned that from John Lackey.
PLEASANT SURPRISE: Corey Dickerson lost a bit of the power stroke he used to have (13 homers), but had 34 doubles and 63 runs for the often-anemic Pirates offense.
GREAT DRAFT PICKS: Matt Carpenter (10th round) put up 437 points after a terrible start. JT Realmuto (9th) was great after returning from injury.
LESS GREAT DRAFT PICKS: Corey Seager (2nd) got hurt early and missed most of the season. Johnny Cueto (6th) did something similar.
OVERALL: A strong draft and a ton of pitching wins got Tim off to a hot start, and he tied for the lead league with 12 wins in the regular season. But injuries were an issue all season, as a huge chunk of his team missed major time and the replacements weren't enough to keep him near the top of the standings at the end. The Losers will draft 6th in the 2019 FBLG Draft.
