B&C - Utica Blue Sox (NYPL-East) Record:52-28, 1st [I]Power Rankings:[/B] 1/12 - WON THE NYPL CHAMPIONSHIP
The Blue sox went 15-4 in August to finish the regular season at 52-28, won the East division by 7 games on Little Falls. The NYPL playoffs consist of just a best of 7 championship between the the two division winners. Utica defeater the Batavis Tigers 4-2, with LF Mark Cobb, .435, 3 HR, 5 RBI, .826 SLG, winning the Series MVP. Utica lead the league in Runs, AVG, OBP, Runs Against and Starters Era. Thier best batter this season was 1B Jimmy Barragan, who hit .361 with 30 2B, 15 HR, 56 RBIs, 51 BBs to 28 Ks, 1.046 OPS and 3.8 WAR. Their best pitcher on the season was SP Andy Carter, who went 7-4 with 3.79 ERA. He gave up 115 hirs, 10 HRs, 43 BB and 81 Ks in 107 IP. He has a FIP of 3.87 and a WAR of 2.3. Since their season was the first to end, I will promote Kevin Appier (25/70) and SP Andy Ashby (20/40) to Spartanburg.

#7 Prospect - Kevin Appier (25/70) - 3-1, 4.04 ERA, 3.94 FIP, 35.2 IP, 6 HR, 28 K, 3 BB, 1.01 WHIP, 7.1 K/9, 0.7 BB/9, 0.7 WAR.
