| MVP candidate Freddie Freeman was the Rookies' star. |
FINISH: 10th
REGULAR SEASON RECORD: 7-11
PLAYOFFS: n/a
MVP: Freddie Freeman (489 points). The Braves slugger had a monster season, playing all 162 games and racking up 71 extra-base hits, 94 runs and 98 RBIs to finish as the third-highest scoring hitter in FBLG.
CY YOUNG: Zack Greinke (374.7). The old weirdo looked like an ace again, pitching over 200 innings and winning 15 games, falling one strikeout short of 200.
PLEASANT SURPRISE: Everyone thought Ozzie Albies would be good, but I don't know that people expected quite this rookie season: 24 homers, 40 doubles, 105 runs and 155 games played. Albies cooled off down the stretch but still looks like a star for years to come.
GREAT DRAFT PICKS: Albies (4th round), Eugenio Suarez (6th), David Peralta (13th). Peralta and Suarez both put up nearly 400 points.
LESS GREAT DRAFT PICKS: Orlando Arcia (7th), Dexter Fowler (10th), Jeff Samardzija (8th). Arcia managed a whopping 3.5 points before being cut. Fowler put up 74, and Samardzija threw 30.2 crappy innings before bowing out.
OVERALL: A rough season for Henry's bunch, which featured a handful of stars and a lot of mediocrity/injuries. Madison Bumgarner missed a bunch of time, Gio Gonzalez was up-and-down, and outside of the top four hitters, no one else did much of anything. The Rookies will draft first in the 2019 FBLG draft.
