TOP SEED HISTORY: Evan N., Jeff, Robio, Rich C, Denbo, Naides
SCORING CHAMP: Evans N, Rob M, Robio, Rich C, Rob M, Naides
1. ROB MASTERSON
He didn’t win the title in 2012, but Masterson holds onto the top spot for the second straight year. The Jersey boy is tops in wins (824), second in winning percentage (behind just Naides), third in weekly results. He’s crashed the post-season in five of his six seasons (just one of three people to make the playoffs five times). Now Rob’s never earned a top-seed, but he has delivered two scoring titles (2008, 2011). Most importantly though, he’s made it to the title game two straight seasons, winning one and losing one. Overall, he has two titles (tied with Jason for the most) and three title games appearances (the only person to do so).
2. JASON PAPPER
Thanks to a second league title this past season, Jason moves past Naides in the rankings into second place. However, I’m keeping him one spot behind Masterson. Like Rob, he’s won two titles and has missed the playoffs just once in his career (he arrived in 2008, one year later). He’s just sixth in winning percentage in the regular season, but gets bumped up to fourth all-time in total win percentage, thanks to the league’s best playoff record. He’s won a league best 107 games and his .583 winning percentage is tops. While he is third in weekly results, Jason has never earned a top-seed or a scoring title. He’s also the only person seeded lower than third to win the title (7 seed in 2010).
3. EVAN NAIDES
By earning the top seed last year, I think we can finally put to rest the ideal that Naides has been coasting by on his first season. You know the one where he won the title and went 20-2-2. On top of that 2007 championship, Evan is the only person in league history to record two career top seeds and scoring titles (2007, 2012). His still first in winning percentage (.534) and his .587 winning percentage in the post-season is the league’s best among teams who have played at least three playoff games. However, Naides has missed the post-season twice in five years, which is especially bad when you consider 67-percent of the teams make the playoffs each year.
4. ERIC VOZZOLA
If you want a regular season prince, Eric is the man. He’s been in the league five years and he’s never missed the playoffs (the only person who can say that). In fact, he’s never been below .500 in the regular season. He’s third all-time in regular season winning percentage. His problem has been the post-season. After making it to the title game in his first year with two wins, Eric has dropped five straight post-season match ups.
5. EVAN KESSLER
They always say, if you can do one thing well, then do it a lot. For me, it’s masturbating to Sarah Mclachlan. For Kessler, it’s winning weekly match ups. While he’s just sixth in winning percentage overall, he’s third in weekly results (65-49-16), behind Naides and Masterson. He’s 63 games over .500 overall and while he’s never produced either a top-seed or a scoring title, he has finished as the second seed twice in the last three years. He’s crashed the post-season five straight seasons, just one of two people two do so (Eric is the other). While Kessler has won at least one playoff match up three times, he’s never won twice, going 3-5 overall in the post-season. His 79 playoff loses are actually the most in the league.
6. RICH CALDERON
After producing the worst season in league history in 2011, Calderon responded nicely last year, getting back to the post-season. His +46 game improvement was the third best turnaround ever (Naides has the best turnaround ever with +61 in 2010). Overall, Calderon’s numbers are still decent. He’s sixth in both winning percentage and weekly results, fourth in overall wins. He’s made it to the post-season four times in six years. Rich did manage to win a post-season game this year, but that was his first since 2007, breaking a 4-game playoff losing streak.
7. JEFF GREENBLATT
Jeff continues to be a hit or miss owner in this league. His made the post-season three times, but missed it three times. When he wins, he does well, twice breaking 125 wins in the regular season. He even earned a top-seed, but that was way back in 2008. Back then he became the first top-seed to not win a single playoff game, but now that’s common place (the last three top seeds have all been knocked out of the post-season without a win). Overall, Jeff is just 1-3 in the post-season, with that one win coming in 2011.
8. JONATHAN DENBO
Denbo sits only three games below .500 in the regular season, which isn’t too bad. However, his .456 winning percentage in weekly results is 9th worst in the league. This explains why he’s made it to the post-season in just three of his six seasons in the league. He does have one top-seed, but that year he was just ninth in scoring, the lowest ever for a top-seed. The real problem with Denbo’s resume has been his playoff results, or lack of actual results. He’s 0-3 in the post-season, just one of two people to never win a single playoff game (Bob is the other).
9. CHRIS GUIDI
Guidi’s performance last year was as awful as the thought of Burrier’s Taint, thus he drops in the rankings. Overall, Chris has managed just two winning seasons in five years, making it to the post-season three times in five years. He’s ninth in winning percentage and eighth in weekly results. The highlight of Chris’ career was 2009, where he won 149 games, losing in the title game, but his winning total has dropped every year since (127 in 2010, 115 in 2011 and a career low 96 last year.
10. RICH BURRIER
Burrier ended a two-year non-playoff streak this past season, winning his first playoff game since 2007. What did that buy him? Well, it got him out of last place in my rankings. Of course Burrier is still second-to-last in winning percentage and weekly results. He’s still managed to crack the post-season riddle three times in six years, even though he didn’t have his first winning season until 2012. In the post-season, he’s 2-3 overall, twice producing first-round upsets.
11. ROBIO MURRAY
What can I say, I’ve missed the post-season three straight years and five times total in six seasons. I’m 10th in both winning percentage and weekly results. Surprisingly I’ve only finished dead last once (Yes, I double checked that). Anyhow, what keeps me out of last in these rankings is that magical 2009 season where somehow, some way, I found a way to win the scoring title, earn the top seed and deliver a championship. Technically my .729 post-season winning percentage is the league’s best.
12. BOB CASTRONE
After finishing last in the league’s first season, Bob disappeared for two years, but he returned to produce back-to-back 120+ win seasons. However, both times he failed to register a single playoff win. Last year though, Bob returned to the bottom, earning his second last place finish. His 80-win season in 2012 was the second worst season of all-time (Calderon’s 76 wins in 2009 was the worst). Anyhow, Bob currently is last in winning percentage and weekly results.
