I had a really good season in my points league; I wish I could tell you that I won, but I didn’t. Had a “knock ’em out, drag ’em out” fight with another team and I lost by 14 points… Just to make clear how razor-thin this margin is, the actual totals from the league was 8,187 to 8,173… Close enough to give me thoughts like “If I hadn’t started Ricky Nolasco when he got shelled, I would’ve won…”
Once again, done dirty by the Dodgers.
As a way to begin wrapping up my 2013 TSR set, and as a way to pay tribute to this almost-team, I present customs of some of my better fantasy players.
We’ll start with my #1 pick (3rd overall), your MVP and mine, Miguel Cabrera!
Cabrera lead the majors in batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage, and was second to Chris Davis in homers and RBI.
Not surprisingly, Cabrera earned the most points of any position player on my team. It is nice for a #1 pick to actually pan out.
Joey Votto batted .304/24/73, lead the majors with 135 walks and was second in MLB in on-base percentage.
Dustin Pedroia was tied with Cabrera for 2nd in the A.L. in hits. He batted .301/9/84.
Yu Darvish went 13-9, 2.83 and was the ace of my virtual rotation – at least in terms of total points earned. He lead the Majors in K’s and was second to Jose Fernandez in batting-average-against.
I will be back with more customs before I’m through; if nothing else, I intend to get at least one custom for every team, and I’m not there yet.
