allencoix, I am not offended that you didn't mention Motown as a playoff contender! They seem to have trouble adjusting to Perfect - they hit like gangbusters in Diamond, but when they get to Perfect, it's as though batting is a foreign concept. Yeah, I understand the competition is tougher, but I can't help but feel like they're somehow affected more than they should be. I haven't gotten the final numbers, but heading into the last day, half my starters had negative WAR values for the season... including guys like the 77 Gwynn, who went from 3.2 in Diamond to -0.1 in Perfect.... stuff like that drives me crazy.
I understand my pitching isn't great but I thought batting would be the strong point of the team - when the pitching is leading the way for me, it spells trouble.
At any rate... I predict Topeka will do well in the division. They have a very solid team on offense and defense and though their pitching staff isn't in front of me right now, I recall they're pretty good. It will be interesting to see if the strategy/ballpark changes will have an effect.
