Thoughts: Things kind of fell of the rails in the second half of the season. Lawrie went down with an injury for a month and a half and the team just did not have enough depth to fill the void. The strangest thing is how unkind the fantasy draft was to the Yankees and Sox as their right at the bottom of the AL.

Thoughts: Pitching was the strongest part of this team. Kershaw didn't get a ton of wins but he had a low ERA and was helped a lot by great performances by Phil Hughes and Travis Wood. Wood was actually undefeated through August. Our hitting could use some work, but that's something I'll have to address after the off-season.

We'll need to get a winning record next season, otherwise we'll have an even more difficult time keeping our key guys.
