I'll post the last four clones a bit later.  Want to change the format so it's easier to read.

The team I have that I really wanted to use was Mickey Mantle.  Can't believe no one used him.  Last year I had great success in the sister theme to this using Vic Raschi.  So I liked the continuity of bringing him back via Mantle.  But, alas, I went for the pitching that came with Schofield Sr.
I was working on a Mantle team but in the end couldn't get a team that I liked under the salary cap. Not enough cap space to add decent pitching to make me comfortable. Not after adding 3 or 4 good seasons and then 1 or 2 low salary seasons of Mantle. Unless, I wanted my offense to be Mantle and a bunch of scrubs.

I never thought of Chipper. For one thing, I hated those Braves teams, and for another, I simply don't think of him as anything other than a third baseman. In addition to Musial I looked at Jackie Robinson, Pete Rose and Gary Sheffield. Never thought of Rickey, either.

Don Buford is the one I almost went with.  You get Horlen, McNally, and Cuellar, but limited hitting, and Don would need to play 2nd base and 2 or 3 outfield spots.

I had Counsell locked in for a couple weeks. A stud rotation of Brown, Johnson, Schilling and Sheets with a ss Sabathia as a stud spot starter/bullpen guy. The problem was, the 7-9 hitters though were Counsell, Counsell, and an average OPS C, can't remember the name now. If my hitting with Chipper doesn't work, then I will regret throwing Counsell back.

I wasn't sold on Reggie Jackson which was why I took only three but I was sold on 71' Vida Blue, 72' Catfish Hunter, and 78' Guidry. Playing in a pitchers ballpark so we shall see.

I was locked on Colbrunn for over a week and thought hard about Foxx because of the powerful hitting, but ultimately could not deal with a su-par pitching staff. When I saw how many options Rickey afforded I could not resist. I played around with that one for days like a kid with a new toy, and I never dreamed i would come away with a team that had neither 03 Gagne nor 90 Eck, but I simply could not afford them. I thought someone would have tried Galarraga.

How does kjaskolski take Henderson and not take 2002 Boston version?

Also interesting that none of the Chipper teams have the exact same combination of Chippers on their team.

I'm the only one who took 2006 Chipper. I did it to get McCann. In hindsight I think I should have gone with less offense and a better bullpen. I originally thought this team could be pretty good but I am now having second thoughts. On the other hand, I think my 80mil team could be a little better. The good news is that in a couple of days we can all stop guessing.

...and start second guessing.

Maybe I'll have to give Tim a start in all eight positions, one time. Too bad I can't let him pitch!

I thought Vizcaino would either be a big hit or a big dud. Glad to see someone else felt the same way... I did spend the least on clones. I felt good about it at the time. Only time will tell.

Despite having 2000 Chipper on my team, I somehow do not have Kevin Millwood on my roster.  I used '97 Neagle instead.  I don't remember why, although my guess is the $1.2M in salary savings, that I needed to spend elsewhere.  I hope that decision doesn't kill me.
