The Main Standings Page also has a link to the Finals. I had SOM put that there. It says:

From my previous post.....My faves are in the Central. My fave of the faves, chaberlal, is leading the pack. He will fail miserably in the long run. (Reverse jinx? Check.)

A 4th ring for hendrix08, in the early going, seems iffy.....Spider is staying in contention for his 2nd ring....wjb23, who is trying for the same, needs to hustle....

moose, when I click on a team name in the Finals League, their are no players listed. I'm logged in. Strange.

I'm definitely off to a rough start. As I mentioned in another thread, the rolls have more influence over a winning season than the manager does. I have a pretty strong lineup against RHP, but as a team, they have a combined 0.687 OPS against RHP, despite the slight edge in hitter card rolls. I think most people assume if you get the rolls on the hitter card you should be doing well which makes sense, but there are still a lot of bad roles on the hitter's card that we can't see how they are distributed, i.e. you can be lucky on getting hitter rolls but unlucky on where those rolls land on the hitter's card. Thats where I think I am right now. That and I've played a ton of road games, so there is some reason for optimism but we'll see.

Dice rolls have a say but over the course of a season, I believe that generally the better constructed teams will make the playoffs. Playoffs series are a crapshoot given the small sample sizes. With my team in the East currently competing against Hendrix and 2 other good teams , I believe it will largely depend on injuries. I have an injury prone team and have already lost 39 games to injury. If that pace continues, I will have a tough time competing. If it slows down significantly, my team will have a shot.

Goes without saying that this was a very tough group to compete against. For example, I had the #2 waiver spot and did not get my first or 3rd player listed.
