It’s no secret that the Yeti have been a rebuilding team since their first and only playoff berth in Season 2. A long time in the making, the rebuild finally seems to be paying some dividends. After back-to-back winless seasons, the Yeti have already won 6 games this year and are actually making a run (though a slightly unlikely one) at the playoffs. So what has led to this dramatic turn of events? How did we get from such a dark place to one that looks so promising?
Well, there are a few factors, or should I say players, who have led to this turnaround. There are a few elder statesmen still hanging around, and they’ve certainly been doing their fair share. Sandoval, Saint, Miller, and Wheat have all been grabbing some stats where they can get them, and they provide valuable veteran leadership. After them, I’m about the oldest one on the team. Starting with my season, Season 4, the Yeti have been hitting on their draft picks. (Some first overalls certainly haven’t hurt.) Bly, Ramero, Tillman, Grau, Miller, Aaron, Applehort… all were picked up in the draft in Season 5 or later. Now that we’re getting experience, we’re starting to put the league on notice.
