...on a job well done. We gave you a good run but ultimately my closer let me down big time in game 7.
Maybe we can give it another shot next season.
Good luck to all in the off season!

as I predicted, the team picking up Bogen at mid-season was going to go to the world series... if you'll recall - at mid season, there were 4 teams in the NL - all separated by 1 game. Bogen goes to Brooklyn and the rest is history.
congrats on pulling the trigger on the trade and taking home the brass ring.

Not sure it was quit that simple Max, or otherwise I wouldn't have been up 2-0 to start the series and giving up a 6 run 9th in game 7 wouldn't lead you to believe that Brooklyn made it thru that easy. Oh, I'm sure Bogen was a big help but my losing my big run producer Doc Luque in the ALCS didn't help Seattle either. Who knows how we would have scored in game 3 or 5 and maybe not had a game 7.
Oh well maybe next year!

of course it's not that simple - and I wasn't referring to "winning" the series, just getting there.
the situation for the 4 NL teams in question was this: at the half way point all 4 had B+ guys as their #5 starters - even with skipping starters, those 5th starters would be getting 11-12 starts. Upgrading to an A- starter, even if only for 11 starts should give the team 2+ more wins (just the law of averages - though anything could be possible).
Perhaps Brooklyn had the better team in the NL regardless, but having Bogen (and denying the other teams from having him) sure didn't hinder their chances.

Thanks guys. Was definitely a good year, one of my best ever as a manager. Thanks to all for the fierce competition. Looking forward to another fun season. Good luck all in the ammy draft!
