Nolan Ryan walks way too many guys to be any good in this game.  I much prefer Don Drysdale.

He does but I've seen him be successful in the right circumstance, including weep. Drysdale gives up too many hrs for my taste.

My first 3 hitters - Hornsby, McGraw, Joe Jackson - aren't really home run hitters anyway.  Larry Walker kinda is, but he also gets on base.  Bottom line, I can probably already say I'm going to be hoping for a - HR park more than likely...

May well be the case that if I get it my team will be decent, if I get New Yankee I'm sunk.

Ha. You think they're your first three hitters. Next thing you know you got a Shortstop Hornsby hitting .283 and you're weeping. Or a .270 hitting washed up John McGraw and you're weeping. Or a .301 hitting Joe Jackson, and then you're weeping! Plus thos guys won't be facing Drysdale at al. Of course your division mate may have 60 hr Sosa and Mcgwires and playing in tiger stadium. And then you're weeping. Too much randomness to have a specfic strategy.
