 ==== The Wrap Up: ====
-Well in the (first?!?) year of Corona Virus things seemed to be going fairly normal for Rockem. Well, that is after a super delayed start shortened season to only 60 games and a killer virus on the loose...our start saw an initial shifting of slots, then the league settled into a pattern with lots of movement behind a strong double digit league leader.

 Mike took over the top of the heap mid August and seemed to be winning running away…until a 12 point jump from Winston on the penultimate day of baseball lead to a change atop the standings for the first time since August 23rd. The final day had some Stat Tracker shenanigans but the lead was his, Jeff Winston has won his 1st Rockem title demonstrating yet another late season coup ([[http://rockemsockemfantasybaseball.com/2008|see 2008]] and the title of our manager of the year award), during a year that was honestly messy all around.

 **//MVRSFP//**  - The Most Valuable Rockem Sockem Fantasy Player goes to….
+[[https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/tatisfe02.shtml|Fernando Tatis Jr.]] - MamaRyu
+This year on the player rater, slots 1-5 were all every day players…on shitty Rockem teams…Tatis was 6th overall on the winning squad so he gets the short season MVP award. The truncated season meant every day guys were much more valuable than pitchers, or maybe pitchers just sucked?

+The twitter instigator (and maybe future Met?!?!) won the real Cy Young for his killer season and grabs the CK after almost leading Mike to the top of Rockem. Finishing 8th overall he edges out Fattys homeboy Justin Bieber and G.Cole who threw mean innings for Jay Vig.

+Jeff Winston - MamaRyu
+So [[http://rockemsockemfantasybaseball.com/2008|in 2008]] Jeff made a historic last day jump of 11.5 points to propel himself up into second place, but this year's “Saturday Surprise” topped even that. It will probably not be remembered as fondly as the season was only 60 games, but the person who the award is named after wins it easily this year.\\

+**//The Eric Hinske Memorial //**  (he's dead right?!) goes to the Biggest Bust Drafted that Year (Named for the Commish drafting Hinske in the 4th round of 2003):
+[[https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/a/arenano01.shtml|Nolan Arenado]] - ephedraheartstoppers
+What a fickle beast Rockem (and baseball) is/are/will always be. [[http://rockemsockemfantasybaseball.com/2020_2020rswalunch|Just last year]] Nolan was the MVRSFP cornerstone of Eben’s championship squad. Now he is traded to the Cardinals as shit falls apart in Colorado. From MVRSFP to Bust: The Nolan Arenado Story. While that is a juicy one, NA was not alone sucking in the corona compromised year… Yelich for Wilson, Bregman for Fatty, Baez for Tom, Altuve for McNally and JD Martinez for Birdie all wrote their own shitty stories, just not as large.

+[[https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/v/voitlu01.shtml|Luke Voit]] - Land of Chapman
+Eben wins this award for [[http://rockemsockemfantasybaseball.com/2020_2020rswalunch|back to back years]] with New York First Baseman, meaning he is clearly the best when it comes to drafting….what a sad sorry bunch the rest of us who put in literal days of research, just proves it all means nothing….Anyways…Voit finished 12th overall but there were a lot of late draft surprises this year with Will Myers for Tom, and Maeda for Birdie were surprisingly amazing and Ozuna just missed wrapping this up for Bird, but that big bat was drafted in the 9th round.

+[[https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/strasst01.shtml|Stephen Strasburg]] - WrightPlaceWongTime
+As always, lots of options for this award. Mike probably would have won the whole league with a few more games from Acuna or Flaherty and Verlander going out early sunk Fatty, likewise for Buehler and Bull, but Tom had zero from his Ace and still finished third…what could have been…\\

+This one surprised me, I had no idea Hernandez finished 21st overall. I was just going to write in Tom’s pickup of Dom Smith who ended up ranked 32nd but Teoscar edges him out and Mike even picked him up earlier. Marco Gonzales shockingly finished 30th overall for Fatone so let’s give him some love. Speaking of love…
