Portland Chinook
Owen Hart
“The Chinook carry the most frustrating stat in the league: a winning 45-40 all-time record with just one playoff appearance to show for it. Owen pours genuine attention and energy into this roster — the moves are there, the pieces are there, the optimism is always there — and yet, in the end, this is Pacific Northwest baseball. Exciting regular seasons, electric deadline activity...... postseason hopes dashed upon the shores of Puget Sound. The 2023 playoff run offered a brief, cruel glimpse of what this team can do when it clicks. They have not clicked since.”

Strengths
The Chinook's 45-40 record is quietly impressive — they beat the majority of teams they face over any given season, which speaks to a genuinely well-balanced roster rather than a squad that just rides star power. Freddie Freeman is one of the most consistent first basemen in fantasy baseball, providing a reliable floor that keeps Portland competitive every single week. Owen tends to avoid the catastrophic collapses that hurt other teams, suggesting smart roster management and a deep enough bench to weather injuries.
Weaknesses
TThe maddening gap between a 45-40 record and one playoff appearance tells the real story: the Chinook are very good at beating bad teams and not much else. Their pitching is genuinely strong — a consistent bright spot that keeps them competitive week to week — but the position player corps is another matter entirely. There are not many bats here worth writing home about, and it shows in a team that perpetually hovers around .500 against the field while padding its record against the league's bottom feeders. The Chinook do not lose badly, but they rarely win impressively, and in a playoff race, that distinction is everything.
