The best Syndergaard highlight was definitely him swinging and missing and still breaking his bat. |
FINISH: 9th
REGULAR SEASON RECORD: 9-9
PLAYOFFS: First round: beat Fresh Fish 305-285; semifinals: beat Arbitration Losers 394.2-319.8; finals: lost to Misfits 359-2885. Finished second.
MVP: Ender Inciarte (371 points). What a weird year for Adam's offense, which had no power. Lead slugger Joey Votto had 12 homers and 108 walks. Inciarte did a little of everything, including 82 runs and 27 steals to be the team's leading scorer.
CY YOUNG: Noah Syndergaard (310.3). Again, not a standout scorer here, but Thor was 13-4 for a terrible Mets team, with 155 strikeouts in 154.1 innings.
PLEASANT SURPRISE: Starlin Castro put up 331.5 points despite never playing a meaningful game. He wasn't great at any one thing, but he played 150 games and scored 73 runs.
GREAT DRAFT PICKS: Inciarte (10th round), Matt Kemp (16th). Of course, Kemp did his damage for other FBLG teams.
LESS GREAT DRAFT PICKS: The oft-injured duo of Yoenis Cespedes (4th round) and Ryan Braun (9th). They were ok the few times they were healthy, at least. Fifth-rounder Luis Castillo scored just 3 points before getting cut loose, too.
OVERALL: Adam had a strange team this year, but got hot at the right time to reach the head-to-head finals. Hitting and pitching were both balanced, without a standout star, but also with a lot of trial and error to fill holes. Picks like Jon Gray and Willson Contreras weren't as good as expected, and injuries kept a lot of other guys out of the lineup. Adam will pick second in the 2019 FBLG draft.
