| - | Good on you Campbell Soup….Who knows, if the season was three more days perhaps Don McNally might have ended up on top as his team (powered by Yelly and Belly) made a fantastic run to finish in 2nd. The Bar Boys first and second, beating all odds (Shakes head in disgusted respect). The third and final free eats position was hotly contested but Jeff jumped in the slot, leapfrogging Moon at the final whistle and the whole league is glad there wasn't a clusterfuck tie there. | + | Good on you Campbell Soup, you called it in the preview….Who knows, if the season was three more days perhaps Don McNally might have ended up on top as his team (powered by Yelly and Belly) made a fantastic run to finish in 2nd.

| Moon finished in 4th (again) while reigning champ Birdie, who was a force all season, wound up slotting it right in the five hole. Your humble Commish took sixth and while points were just a mere 11 from the top, the squad never really made the move he was hoping for. Rounding out the middle third of the league was a late arriving Don Fatone who steadily gained points in September and Mike who steadily lost points. | Moon finished in 4th (again) while reigning champ Birdie, who was a force all season, wound up slotting it right in the five hole.

| - | As always lots of options on this one. Most of the top picks did fairly well, but the likes of Benitendi kept Winston spitting mad all year and Jose Ramirez sucked hard but turned it on at the end (before getting injured) to make the season semi-respectable for Bull. Those were close, but no season was as disappointing as **[[https:// | + | As always lots of options on this one.

| - | There are a few options for this one. DJ proved that he could hit outside of Colorado, jumping up to 21st overall for Vig who picked him up during his annual drunken Yankee run in the 19th round. Jeff got a hell of a value with Ryu, picking the Street Fighter as an afterthought in the 22nd round, but this year the easiest (well not easiest because I can't find the original draft sheet) choice for any of these awards goes to the Mets own **[[https:// | + | There are a few options for this one.
