That's some fierce competition.

I made it to the divisional round again last year, lost 3-2 again. Although I wasn't expecting to make it out of the wild card, because the team I had to face trashed me in the regular season, so I outperformed as far as I am concerned.

I got 2004 Joe Nathan to drop. I didn't use him at first because statistically his card is kind of meh. But I convinced myself to give him a shot because of his velocity. Turns out he's better than special edition Mike Schooler, which is a bit surprising given the ratings on the cards. I guess the velocity difference, slightly better pitches, and slightly better stuff outweighs slightly more movement and control. So my closers/setup team is Rich Gossage and Trevor Hoffman (both peaks) with 2004 Joe Nathan now. Not bad. I just need one or two more starters to round out my 5th starter/long relief options. Jon Matlack and Ewell Blackwell aren't cutting it anymore.

I started the year out 33-9, and my team is crushing this year so far. Except King Kelly is on pace for his worst season in 70 years of playing for my team. Not sure what's going on there. :P
