<div dir="ltr"><div>Greetings;</div><div> Do we have any tiebreakers for 4th place? If not, does the coveted first pick in the 2014 rotation draft go to the 6th place team if there's no 5th place team? Hurry up, March.</div>
<div> Rick</div><div>p.s. Shandler sent an e-mail stating that tonight's game counts in that league, so it appears I've got a decent shot to win, as the team I'm tied with and the team a half point behind us only have pitchers that aren't going to pitch (Archer & Darvish), while I've got Pierzynski and Joel Peralta and only need one homer, one strikeout or one hold to break the tie. I know you'll all be on the edges of your seats tonight!</div>

<div><div dir="ltr">well, laugh if you may Brad Lee but a combined 1 HR and 4 RBI over the last 3 weeks for Mauer and Cabrera left the door plenty ajar for competitors, but no one could close the gap. <br>
Anyway, Rich congrats on a 2nd victory in 3 years- impressive! And way to go Brad for making it a tight race to the bitter end - glad Andy didn't have to explain away his disinterest in the final days of the race. Also to Calamari for a great season and solid 3rd place finish.<br>
P.S. Brad, feel free to motion a trade for Nick Franklin, but he won't come cheaply.<br> <br>
