Well we finished weak, losing games against teams with poor records that we probably could have won. We still ended up 1st in runs scored, average and on base. We were 6th in starters ERA but top five in everything else.

Rod Carew finished the season strong, going 12 for 28 in his last 7 games. He hit .351 with 12 homers and 103 RBIs from the leadoff spot. Hank Aaron hit .295 with 32 HRs and 107 RBIs. Wood, Haddix, Corbin and Greinke all had ERAs under 4. Sean Doolittle I think led the league with 41 saves. Half the guys on the most saves list are Doolittle. I used to have the diamond card Diaz with Doolittle as setup but he kept filling in for Diaz when he went cold until eventually I just sold Diaz. I bet that's what happened with a lot of teams.

So I better make final roster decisions now. I'm thinking of carrying Enos Slaughter as an extra lefty pull hitter. He didn't play on the team at all, but I think it's allowed.

There are two teams named the Mountaineers in the playoffs, they could end up playing each other. We might play one or both of them.

Should be interesting. I hope we make it past the first round!
