The Mud Hens are tied for 4th from the bottom in their 1st perfect season. I noticed that they had two "upset win" achievements. Both of them were against the Raccoons (naturally!). They're also the only team to win 6 games against the Raccoons this season (6-10). Oddly, though they have many elite defenders, they're only 7th in ZR. The Raccoons have a better ZR even they're not as good defensively so I guess it's just bad luck.

As to the Raccoons... After averaging 116 W for 9 perfect seasons, they've had 104 and 111 W and are on pace for 110 W this season. I believe they're a better team than they were 3 seasons ago when they won 124 games so I'm not sure what's going on. The league this season has no whales unlike when they won 124 games, but the weaker teams seem stronger. We do have a 13.5 game lead so barring a total collapse, we'll win the division again and because of the lack of whales, our chances look better this year.

Regarding upgrades... We're not weak anywhere, we're just not as strong as we could be in most positions, so it's hard to decide where to upgrade. I'm thinking of saving for an elite reliever, but I'm not sure yet nor am I sure who I want. Since I already have 99 Eck, I'll not want to get 100 Eck yet (replacing someone else will be a bigger upgrade), so I'm thinking of getting Smith. Anyone else I should consider?
