Not surprisingly both Fleetwood's offense and its pitching & defense dominated in September. On offense, Fleetwood scored 167 runs (7.6 per game; Fleetwood's season average = 6.2 per game). On defense, its pitching and defense allowed only 63 runs (2.9 per game; Fleetwood's season average = 3.7 per game).
Given Fleetwood's total runs scored (1000 even) and total runs allowed (593) on the season, its Pythagorean Record would be 120-42 (.740 x 162 games). As such, it appears the Walkers' record remains slightly below what might be expected (-3 wins versus expected record). As was true throughout the season, this is likely due to some large blow-out victories by Fleetwood over the course of the summer.
Fleetwood's season-long dominance versus right-handed starters continued (81-27, .750), while it also continued its month-to-month improvement versus left-handed pitchers (5-9 through May; 13-12 through June; 24-17 through July; 26-18 through August; 36-18 through September).
Fleetwood's most exceptional players on the season were Miguel Cabrera, Derrek Lee, A.J. Burnett and Esteban Loaiza. In the month of September only, Derrek Lee (.380/.448/.837), Miguel Cabrera (.345/.424/.713), Ryan Zimmerman (.491/.547/.860), David Wright (.333/.412/.750), Esteban Loaiza (4-0, 1.93 ERA), Greg Maddux (4-0, 2.32 ERA), Mark Buehrle (4-0, , 3.09 ERA), and Kelvim Escobar (1-0, 11.2 IP, 0.00 ERA, 14 K) all excelled.
In a testament to Fleetwood's excellent season, very few of its players had disappointing seasons. Marcus Giles (.274/.342/.447) rebounded after a slow start. Ryan Doumit had a strong September, but struggled in a part-time roll (.217/.275/.326). Jose Guillen provided strong defense after his mid-season arrival, but struggled at the plate (.204/.263/.296). In September only, Ramon Castro (.200/.364/.240), A.J. Burnett (3-0, 5.24 ERA), and David Bush (2-0, 6.75 ERA) all had difficult months.
All in all, the 2006 regular season was an amazing success for Fleetwood. After multiple rebuilding seasons, the team earned its first divisional crown and earned home-field advantage during the playoffs.
