No playoffs for the 'Glou in their first season back in Perfect. 80-82 finish, though Peak Pedro got himself another Triple Crown, going 25-6, with a 1.77 ERA and 256 strikeouts. My bet is that he'll win Cy Young and MVP for the third year in a row once the postseason wraps. The conference had another Peak Pedro who threatened to derail my Pedro's Triple Crown attempt but he eventually fell 10 strikeouts short. He wasn't close in the other categories.
The rest of my rotation was mud, but my bullpen was the best in the conference. We struggled to score runs, though, ranking near the bottom in pretty much every hitting category (4th-best base-runners though, woohoo yeah).
I've put my ballpark factors back to neutral (they've been minimum homeruns for both RHP and LHP for ages) for next season. Not sure that's such a great idea but my observation is that lower homerun factors don't turn homerun balls into doubles or triples but into outs, so I want to see if that's true or not. That might mean I need to ditch 89OVR Eckersley as my closer in favor of someone with better movement but I'll see how the first couple months of the season go before making that decision.
