The NL East is a souped up version of the AL west, featuring two historically talented owners and a sophomore owner that almost made the playoffs in his rookie season.
Steve C has two ATB titles in 5 years and has an incredible 113 win season to his credit. Last year in one of the toughest divisions in recent memory, he took a small step back with his Chips going 84-78 but his overall career winning percentage remains 3rd highest in league history.
Joe T is a 5-year veteran and has never seen his franchise to a record below .500. He's made the playoffs three times, reaching the world series once. Last year Joe came up short in a challenging division, winning 84 games for third place, missing the playoffs in a division with two 90-win teams.
This will place significant pressure on David K and Bill N. Having played numerous times in other leagues, David isn't an All Time Great league rookie, and last season was in the thick of the playoff hunt for most of the season, falling back only in the second half of September. This has to concern Bill N, who undoubtedly has drawn the toughest spot in the entire league - the 4th team in a division with 3 accomplished owners.
