Clarets did more than crept up. They leapt up, making a twenty game improvement. All four of their rotation made significant strides, most notably their ace Harry Gamble who went from 11-19/3.46 to 14-13/2.17. Harry hasn't been able to match his win-loss record to his FIP, ERA or VORP. No run support, I guess. They also added +60 VORP at the plate, too. Despite the ball change their slash numbers were down only slightly, and their homers were actually up.

Here, see for yourself:

I wasn't planning to make a quick start available, but I might rethink that. I have thought about doing leagues in other countries to feed players, although I'm not sure I want to go that route. I won't do other European leagues for this dynasty, anyway.

I do have to manually configure the schedule, which I describe in part here, and in gorier detail here.

Thank you for the high praise!

I'm not sure whether League officials will take up the question of renaming the award. It's up to them.
