Congratulations Matt and Zac!

Congratulations Matt and Zac!

For the first time ever, there are co-champions of the PFBL.  The 2015 PFBL crown goes to both Pancakes & Hammers and Bizarro Royals.  Undeniably, these two owners combined to form what was hands down the best roster in the league.  Though nearly all other owners stayed competitive to the end, Matt and Zac's team was able to pull away as September progressed.  Now that all the dust has settled, only those two stand triumphant.

The first season of 8-team competition in the PFBL was truly historic.  Not only did it end with the first ever co-championship, but Bizarro Royals is now the first team to win back-to-back championships as well.  Also new this year, 25-man rosters and an innings limit of 1650 IP have ushered in a new "fantasy baseball steroid era" in the PFBL, as a whopping half of the league eclipsed 8106.33 points, the previous record set by Bo Knows in 2011.  But even with the increased scoring, the pivotal moment of the 2015 campaign came in the early morning hours of July 9th, when Bizarro Royals and Pancakes & Hammers managed to pull off an innovative "roster dump trade" strategy.  This controversial strategy was attempted by two other owners at the trade deadline, but it amounted to too little too late.  There was just no stopping the combined power of Matt and Zac.

And as they enjoy sharing the podium, the rest of the league now turns their attention to the more competitive PFFL.  May the best team(s) win!

Congratulations Bizarro Royals

Bizarro Royals is champion of the 2014 Percell Fantasy Baseball League.

For most of the second half of the season, yours truly was in first place, but with about three weeks left to play, Bizarro charged into first and held it fast until he had secured his second ever PFBL title.

To the other PFBL managers, thanks for a fun and well-played fantasy baseball season, and congrats again to the Bizarro Royals!

Absent any scoring corrections, the final 2014 PFBL standings are as follows:

PFBL Standings 9/27/14

There are only two days left, but yours truly is in striking distance:

  

PFBL Standings 9/16/14

After my lead was trimmed to 0.67 of a point yesterday, I now have a bit more breathing room.

The First overall (non-keeper) pick is...

Robbie Canó by Bizarro Royals!

There's a 1st for everything & Looking back at the PFBL draft

The "I homered before Albert Pujols" club closed it's door to new membership on Sunday afternoon with 272 players homering ahead of Pujols this season (according to baseballmusings.com). Perhaps the best part of the 2-run dinger was the the Angels dugout celebration.

Only the Bizarro Royals can hope that this means bright days ahead for the Halos slugger, as the first round pick had only 34 points heading into Sunday. However, Pujols was not alone in the "I'm a first round pick and I've only scored 34 points so far this year" club. He's joined by Colorado Tumbleweed's Cliff Lee. Though Lee has somewhat more of a solid alibi having been sidelined  on the DL for the last few weeks. After the jump we'll take a deeper look back at breaking down the PFBL draft just over a month into the season.
