A brief Recap

Here's a brief recap of the season, from MaineToday.com's Kevin Thomas. Lots of prospects this year, but more are needed. The piece finishes by focusing on "found" closer Jim Mann, who was signed out of the independent leagues in mid summer and ended up a dominating force out of Portland's bullpen.

Here's a follow up recap, covering some of the same territory.

I plan to do my own recap of the season in the coming days, including my promised statistical review of the pitching staff. That will be more challenging than with the hitters, because so many pitchers came, pitched significant innings then departed during the season.
