Owner: Matt B
Activity Level: High
Park Factor: Batters
After piloting his team to 90 wins and a playoff berth, this 16th ranking will come as a mighty blow to owner Matt B. Coming into the 20 resims with a negative run differential in the regular season, it was a matter of some doubt how the team would fare. Below average in both pitching and batting though, Willets Point just could not compete year in and year out.
The biggest difference was Greg Maddux. In the resims his average line was 19-11 with a 3.23 ERA and 1.24 WHIP. Not one of the individual resim seasons approached his level of success in ATB XIII: 23-3 with a 1.93 ERA and 1.06 WHIP.
Still this is a team with some potential as the made the postseason 20% of the time. Another bat in the lineup or a starting pitcher would have gone a long way to making this team a perennial contender.

Bust Draft Pick
I don’t know that it’s a bust for Rd 15, but Felix Hernandez (5.24 ERA, 1.67 WHIP) isn’t good enough to start.
Value Draft Pick
Rd 15 – Lindy McDaniel: 3.77 ERA, 177 IP as a reliever.

Hey I'm not disappointed, I see this as a sign that I managed well this year! Stargell was a real disappointment for me in "real" sim life, he must have had mono or something.
