X + 2018 = Championship for Werner

The X-Factors and owner Joe Werner have won their first PicketLine championship after nine seasons out of the money. Joe's previous years were mostly spent in the basement, with a two year hiatus, until he finally broke out a little with a 7th place finish last year.

The noted prospect expert used a very fluid lineup all year, as the underrated Mallex Smith led his team in ABs with 353. Smith had 30 SB and a .373 OB% for the club. Joe made two blockbuster trades that included JD Martinez, Blake Snell, Kris Bryant, Aaron Judge, Matt Carpenter, and Joey Votto, among others.  Needless to say, his offense was loaded and he wasn't afraid to trade stars.

The X-Factors' pitching staff was a bit more stable however, relying on studs like Edwin Diaz (57 Sv, 124 K, 0.79 WHIP), Joe Jimenez (23 Hld), and Trevor Bauer (20 QS, 221 K, 2.21 ERA, 1.09 WHIP).

Congratulations to Joe!
