End of Season
It took an exciting game seven, but the Cincinnati Cannons did something that no human GM has yet to accomplish; win back-to-back championships! You can thank us for that, as on June 24th they were 19.5 games out of first place, and then we decided that winning wasn't for us. Whitney Candidate Chuck Adams was named MVP of the series, hitting .455/.538/.818 (277 OPS+) with 2 doubles, 2 homers, and 7 RBIs. It was much of the same during the season, as Adams led the league with 23 homers and 105 RBIs while sporting an above average .290/.324/.462 (119 OPS+) in 153 of the Cannons 154 games. I don't think he'd deserve to win the Whitney, that should be Leo Mitchell (or at least Marion Boismenu), but I imagine the series MVP may sway a few voters.
The offseason will begin on Friday, so we'll get a fresh set of prospects for the weekend. No big trades to announce, yet, but I'll be looking to make some upgrades when possible. There aren't many obvious sellers on the market, but I'm not sure we'll be able to find a difference maker. I'll settle for a guy who doesn't collapse in the second half though...
