Minimum Win Requirement Update

Our minimum win rule in Kenny Powers is 55 wins in one season (50 if you are a first season owner) and 185 wins over 3 seasons. You get 2 "strikes" against the policy, and on the third strike, you're out. If you don't earn any strikes over 3 consecutive seasons, all previous strikes are wiped out.

Unfortunately, 3 teams earned strikes this season.  goodtymes31 and peerishere earned a strike for failure to win 55 games.  msmsales earned a strike for failure to win 185 games over 3 seasons. goodtymes31 must win 70 games next season to avoid another strike.  peerishere must win 78 games next season to avoid another strike.  All other teams only need to meet the single season minimum of 55 to avoid a strike.  Below, a summary of performance over the last 3 seasons is listed.

Season 20 All-Star Coverage

The All-Star break has come and gone in season 20, so let's take a look at what went down.

The American League team was led by hurler Alberto Campos who hit double digits by making his 10th All-Star appearance.   New Britain had the most AL All-Stars with 6, and 13 different teams were represented.  8 players on the AL squad were first time All-Stars.

The NL team had a core of familiar faces, including Buffalo's Jeremy Randall making an incredible 11th All-Star appearance at age 33.  Teammates Jimmie Soto, who hit double digits himself, making his 10th All-Star team, and David Silva, making his 9th appearance, were other notables.  Honolulu slugger J.C. Ganzel made his 8th All-Star team.  It was Las Vegas, however, who ended up with the most NL All-Stars with 5, with 14 teams having players make the squad.  There were 9 first time All-Stars on the NL team.

The festivities started with the Home Run Derby, which the aforementioned J.C. Ganzel ended up winning with 36 total Home Runs.  The All-Star game itself was a blowout for the NL, as they defeated the AL 13-5, led by a 3 for 3 2 HR 4 RBI performance from MVP Albert Valenzuela of Buffalo, sealing the fact that every Buffalo All-Star got an individual mention in the recap.

Here are the complete rosters, congrats to those owners who had players make the team!
