Only fitting...best Player won it all...congrats DonFESQ... :D

[DonFESQ]

thanks, I really thought last year was my year after almost pulling off the wire to wire but crapping out in the semis. This year alot of the things that worked last year didn't work and I felt fortunate to be back in the finals.

This was an interesting team for sure. Even though it may look like a lot of teams I've trotted out there, I actually changed direction twice during the live draft. Was initially going to go small ball with Cobb, Wagner, and Terry my first three picks. Then I changed to lefty power when I was able to pick up Bonds and Stearnes. Then, inspired by gkhd11a's draft, I decided to abandon starting pitching and grabbed Mauer late.

Dumped my 3rd round pick Terry for Cash to go all out lefty power. Almost changed my mind again when it looked like there was going to be 40% lefty starters in the league but decided to play my hand. It happened to work somehow as I went 39-30 vs lefty starters.

The team was outscored most of the season until getting somewhat hot in the RS vs. RA department late. I benefited tremendously from playing in the weakest division as I could only pull off a 41-49 record outside my division.
