Fantasy RBI Season VII Dee Nee Preseason Summer Tournament Championship Final

In a surprisingly low scoring championship final game, closer Orosco protected a 1-run lead in the bottom of the 9th to give the Canadian Shooties their 6th straight win and the Dee Nee Preseason Summer Tournament championship! The lead exchanged several times that made for a very exciting tournament final.

With the preseason tournament final in the books, all team owners will now take their teams for a fresh new start for FRBI season VII. The Canadian Shooties will be heavy favorites to win season VII as Shooty looks for his first FRBI league title. However, as FRBI history has shown, nothing is a sure thing in this league. 

Brnsky was named tournament MVP.

I hope GDavis realized what he was getting into by teaming up with me - I think I'm a three or four-time FRBI runner-up.

Why did you change the lineup from what I posted?  I think that's what lead to our downfall.

I didn't see the post where you posted the lineup, so I just assumed you'd forgotten.

On the plus side, as lifelong Bills and Vikings fans, you and I should be good with handling crushing sports disappointment.

Darky....did you witness any surprise performances by any players in the tournament.  Either good or bad?

Whitkr was a big letdown. He'll get some hits and an occasional HR, but he's not consistent as Herr or Doran. Herr and Doran are consistent every game with at least 2-3 bleeding hits that result in triples. Plus, they'll hit an occasional HR. I noticed that kind of production from lower tier power guys, but with higher contact and speed ratings. Barret gave me superb production in season V when the Empire won it all. I had him platoon with O.Smith. Anyways, Herr and Doran excel at hitting bleeding groundballs that end up in triple or doubles. Both are clearly more productive than Whitkr. I chanced on Whitkr and now I regret that.

Brenly and Heath both surprised me with their pop - they hit more HR's than I thought they would.

Backmn was not an easy out at all. He seemed to get his 2 hits a game for Reds. Reynlds who has never started in a Fantasy league wasn't that bad. He seemed to get hits half the time.

And Hndrk, Hndrsn, and Schlfld are much better than I remember. They thrive in the hitting spots they are in and none of them will go hitless in a game.

And to no surprise, Reggie Jackson just doesn't hit big consistently as the other guys near his power. It's weird.

McGwire is easily the most consistent along with Bell and Dawson.

I'll continue more in a bit. Gotta go for a walk with a teen here at work.

Hmm maybe I never posted it.  I'd swap Canseco and Gaetti.
