On the other hand, you have 800 excellent innings of starting pitching plus almost 300 of strong relief (including over 100 from Bruce Sutter, one of the best closers in this theme). Roseboro is one of the top catchers, always a tough position in Pick Six. I'm not saying you have the best team, but a) what you have is very strong, better than most team's talent levels, and b) look at a lot of the other teams - some have even fewer players, and many who have more players have mediocre talent. One solid round, and it all turns around for you.
My starting pitchers have plenty of innings, but they are not quality innings. The best SP on the staff, Rau, has a .236 OAV and 1.12 WHIP -- not very good by WIS standards. (Pitchers from this era normalize poorly anyway.) They all have HR/9 stats that are too high. Sutter should be very effective in this league
if he can get in enough save situations. One of my 4th round picks, McMahon, could be a good setup pitcher, but can the starters get to the 6th inning often?
1964 Roseboro is an excellent catcher, one of the most difficult to run against in all of WIS, but he doesn't usually hit very well. And with only 475 PA, he will need a lot of bench time. (I had picked Bench and Torre in the 1st round and Munson in the 2nd round who have comparable arms, can hit well and have enough PA.)
I have no position players other than Roseboro, and I still need another SP and one or more RPs.
But, I agree with you that
IF I can get 5 or 6 of my picks in the next round, it will turn my team around.
