In an exciting & hard fought series, that went to 7 games, and had 5 1 run victories, I finally overcame cristano in Game VII to clinch the League II Championship.

I will begin to set up the 2nd round in a couple of weeks once I'm accustomed to my new work & class schedule, and a couple of other SOM commitments are underway.

Thanks again all for their participation in this long & massive experiment. Maybe once a new draft site is up & running I will do a new 36 team league but with a 100m salary cap instead of 80m. Hopefully all the lessons learned from this process will help us avoid future mistakes/obstacles.

[b:1e28f90b77]Team Awards:[/b:1e28f90b77]


MVP - Babe Ruth

This team really did not have much in the way of overwhelming offense, and the league as a whole seemed to be more pitching friendly. so Babe Ruths production, although not spectacular, was still key to our success.

CY Young - Tom Zachary

Very solid at home, and even better on the road! Led team in Wins, ERA, K's and was 1 point from WHIP.

Rolaids Relief - Archie McKain

51 saves more than compensates for 10 BS.

Surprise Performance - Scott McGregor

Very strong performance from my #2 SP. :)

Disappointing Performance - Herzog/Collins

Although neither was awful, was expecting somewhat more from both.

Playoffs MVP - Archie McKain

Some solid offensive production from several of my bats, but McKains 6 saves & 9 2/3rd shutout innings give him the MVP nod.

Playoffs CY Young - Sid Fernandez

He won both his starts against cristanos squad, including a critical performance in Game VII

Playoffs Rolaids - Doug Bair

2 wins & a save at some key times.

For those of you who did make the playoffs in any of the 3 leagues - I would appreciate it (assuming you still check this thread occasionally) if you could let me know if you'd be interested in doing Season II, or if I will either (a) have to scrap the idea entirely or (b) advance a couple of the non-playoff owners to take the your place.

[ArrylT]

Btw if someone from the other 2 leagues could send a league post to their league to ask owners to check this thread - that would be much appreciated. :)

Something along the lines as such:

[b:d7b5470783]For those teams that made the playoffs, please check in on the main thread & let me know of your interest in having a Champions league (of the 12 playoff teams from all 3 leagues).

If you didnt make the playoffs, but would like to either (a) be considered as a replacement if one of the playoff owners is not interested or (b) participate in a runners up / consolation league, please make a post as well.[/b:d7b5470783]
