Congratulations to our playoff teams! We have:
- 5 returning from last season, including defending champ Dr.Publix
- 3 who have not played in the post-season for a while (jodynadu, kihoover, Paul_Long71)

Half have won a title in our first 8 seasons and half have not, so there's a 50/50 chance that we will continue to have a new champion for each season.

Dr.Publix, by the way, is still building on his amazing results. This is his 6th consecutive playoff appearance -- tying Paul J's record -- and Dr.P has averaged 96 wins over the 9 seasons. To put that in perspective, the next best team has averaged 88 wins, 8 games behind Dr.P!

Oh well, another early playoff exit for the Mud Monkeys. For all our regular season success, we’re a grand total of 26-26 in playoff games over the years (5-6 in terms of series), including being ousted in the first round 5 times out of 7 years. Ouch. But oh well. Good luck to the remaining playoff teams. I’m kind of hoping that someone new does win again this year (no offense to those still alive who’ve already won.)

Anyway, for me, it’s time to look towards 2016, where I’m hoping to make one more playoff push. Looking at my team going forward, I’m open to all sorts of possible changes (so feel free to make any offers), but the following players are especially available right now:

-A Jones 3.14M in ‘16; 3.11M in ‘17, 1.80M in ‘18
-J Benoit 1.71M in ‘16, 1.85M in ‘17
-J Garcia 1.90M in ‘16, 1.79M in ‘17
-M Napoli 2.65M in ‘16

Their best days are all behind them, but still potentially pretty useful players in the right situation.

Ideally I’d like to package two or three of them together for a 5M pitcher in ‘16, but again, I’m open to at least considering all possibilities. I’m always interested in draft picks as well. Thanks
