| Miles Mikolas might be in the Mumford and Sons cover band with Daniel Murphy and Charlie Culberson. |
FINISH: 3rd
REGULAR SEASON RECORD: 7-11
PLAYOFFS: First round: beat Fasano Don't Dance 416-404.8; semifinals: lost to Misfits 398-378.7.
MVP: Charlie Blackmon (483 points). The hirsute slugger heated up in the summer (never mind August, in which he hit .226) and finished with a great stat line, if a bit down for him: 28 homers, 31 doubles, 118 runs, 12 stolen bases.
CY YOUNG: Miles Mikolas (334) returned from baseball exile to go an astonishing 16-4, striking out 137 in 187 innings for the Cardinals. And he did it with a terrific mustache. Scott drafted a team with terrific hair, is what we're saying.
PLEASANT SURPRISE: Besides Mikolas, we'll go with the late-season dominance of German Marquez, who struck out 92 in 68 innings for Scott while notching 5 wins. Marquez looks like a fairly high draft pick next season, given that he's only 23 and had a 6.2 strikeout:walk ratio after the all-star break.
GREAT DRAFT PICKS: Mikolas (13th round), Mike Foltynewicz (14th).
LESS GREAT DRAFT PICKS: Daniel Murphy (4th) never really got healthy, and Scott dropped him before he heated up briefly late in the season.
OVERALL: Scott's team scuffled through the regular season, but the late emergence of Marquez coupled with the bats getting hot over the summer propelled PYB into the semifinals and third in the points standings. Steady performances from Anthonys Rizzo and Rendon helped keep the boat afloat, plus Ian Desmond and Yasmani Grandal were better than anticipated. A good season for the Blockheads, who will draft 8th in the 2019 FBLG Draft.
