End of season review: No. 9 Adam


(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.)

Adam, you proved many of us wrong. You gave us an exciting run, which nearly ended up with a playoff berth.

But, you faded down the stretch. Still, there were many things to be excited about this year. Your fantastic trade of Grady Sizemore for Raul Ibanez and Dustin Pedroia was a huge steal. Derek Jeter shocked us all and validated his keeper status.

But, you still have yet to taste playoff glory - only one other manager can say that - so you suck. The rest of your evaluation after the jump.


You made it above .500 for the first time in league history. Good job? You even peaked as high as No. 3 in the power rankings. Pretty impressive, but key word: peaked. It was all down hill from there, including an embarrassing 15-2 loss to miserable Richie.

How the hell do you lose to Richie 15-2!

I had you as No. 12 to begin the season and you finished No. 9, clearly you exceeded expectations. But you went 2-6 down the stretch when the pressure was on.

As they continuously say at the end of the regular season in Adam-ville, better luck next year!

Final evaluation: Overachiever
