(Editor's note: This is the latest in a series of season evaluations based on power ranking trends. At the end, each manager will be given a final determination of overachiever, underachiever or expected achiever.)
Ohhhh, Christopher. You left us with perhaps the greatest moment of the season - a devastating, heartbreaking loss to miss the playoffs on the final game of the regular season. It was great drama, made even better by your lashing out of league managers, wishing death and disease on them.
But enough of that, let's evaluate your entire season.
Other than a two-to-three week span, it looks like you were in the middle of the pack the whole time. Very un-Chris-like, no? Your complete evaluation after the jump.
I had you as a preseason No. 5, clearly expecting you to be better than you were. Your graph is all over the place, so it seems like you never found solid footing, lacking consistency all year. Not quite the division-title defense you were hoping for, eh?
But what was most damming was the brutal trades that you made. Not necessarily the brutality of the thought process, but the brutality of the outcome. You gave up Alex Rodriguez, Dustin Pedroia and Raul Ibanez for Grady Sizemore, Clayton Kershaw, Miguel Tejada and Vlad Guerrero.
That's quite some talent, and probably the biggest reason you missed the playoffs, like it or not.
Now, you're left with the likes of managers named Shea and Richie and Mike - in the draft lottery. Only you have the worst odds.
Oy vey, as they say in Israel.
Final determination: Underachiever
