Things looked grim in the first season in silver, with the team falling to 8 games behind the division leader. But we clawed back and ended up in a dead heat for the lead. We lost the one game playoff for the division title, and are now a wildcard team.
87-76
During the season we had 3 players in the all star game (no pitchers made it) and Bagwell lead the league in homers.
Hitting was down for just about every player, facing diamond starters every game will do that. Pitching also got worse. I only made a couple of tweaks during the season, adding a starting pitcher and swapping out a couple of relievers. But those changes didn't really account for the team getting better in the second half, that was random.
I think my biggest hole is at third base. I did swap out Eddie Mathews, who was bad for me, and brought back Longoria who was also poor but at least is a better fielder.
