Season Recap: GCL Phillies and Crosscutters

The Crosscutters went 37-37 in 2017 and while that sounds thoroughly mediocre and uninteresting, I guarantee you it was thoroughly mediocre, but not entirely uninteresting. Sure, they finished more than half a dozen games out of the playoffs (in a league that plays a few dozen games a year), but the Crosscutters were about individual players more than overall team performance this year.

The GCL Phillies, meanwhile, had a really good season that was not mediocre. They went 36-22, good for First place in the Northwest division. The promptly got booted from the playoffs by the eventual champion GCL Yankees East (I love GCL naming conventions) 4-0, but that shouldn’t put a damper on a good season with a number of interesting prospects.
