This is pure cope but I don't think it's that big of an upset. His offense looks as good if not better than mine on paper, largely because of Vlad. The gap on the P side basically disappeared with me losing McClanahan, Sale, Taillon, Wisler, Pomeranz, and Clippard all during or right before R1 and with Bieber never making it back.
I don't really have a juggernaut built around a bunch of Vlad, Soto, Franco types. My team is a random assortment of hired guns.
Dinger's 11th place record was largely due to inattention and not a lack of talent. And he got lucky with very few injuries during the playoffs save for the typical spattering of broken arms.
