In choosing the 1977 Phillies j_willis gets an old and respected National League franchise which has seen its ups and downs over more than 100 years. Think of the fearsome 3-4 hitters of Mike Schmidt and Greg Luzinski with Steve Carlton on the mound.

Let's stick with the history theme and add another National League franchise which has been around for over 100 years also seeing its ups and downs. Instead of Schmidt and Luzinski it's Hank Aaron and Eddie Mathews. Instead of the great lefty Steve Carlton, it's the great Lefty Warren Spahn. From Boston to Milwaukee to Atlanta, the Braves are a franchise of big name players.

While none of those great players are on this particular Braves squad, I'm sure j_willis will be proud to add any Braves team, in this case the 1927 Boston Braves

vilefileman can add the 1957 A;s to his roster options. how exactly did that team not finish last?

at least he should have no problem staying under the cap with his options so far...

lennyistall gets the 1937 Phillies

lennyistall assigns the 37 St Louis Browns to redcped.

jonstephen25, you've got a solid start with the 27 Senators. You've got a few useful pitchers and the start of a good lineup with some HOF outfielders in Goslin and Speaker. Joe Judge is a good enough 1B. A couple of your other infielders can at least field. You've got a few options there.

What I think you need is a lot more Senators. Like 25 more of them, but this time from 1947. You know the old line, "Washington: First in war, first in peace, and last in the American League." Well, these guys were 7th out of 8, so close enough.

The 1947 Senators have a couple pitchers who aren't awful. I can't call them good, but they're better than that pile of garbage I just got handed with my 2nd team. You'll want to avoid most of the rest of them. I have to avoid all of mine. Heck, I feel like you should be thanking me, relatively speaking.

They have one hitter who's at all solid in Stan Spence. Of course he is also a lefty OF like Goslin and Speaker, and if you wind up needing to use OF from your other two teams you'll be losing out on any of these guys who happen to be your 3 best hitters at this point. At every other spot, the 1947 guy is a downgrade from what you have already. But as we all can probably agree, there are a lot of lousy Senators out there.

Good luck at making Washington work.

3dayrotation - the 1957 Yankees provide you serviceable options at C and 1B. A stud SS and a hugely expensive Mantle in the OF. You have no good options at 2B and 3B and your only cheap really sub is at 1B. Your pitching is pretty solid and reasonably priced overall.

Say hello to the 1977 San Diego Padres - they provide you no serviceable options at 2B or 3B. The only real help you get are overpriced OFs in Hendricks and Winfield, a cheap sub at 2B, and Rollie Fingers. Good luck, hopefully these Padres are full of blessings.

Can someone please sitemail whalers10 for me

I looked long and hard to find a team that will give jpeterso fits. I believe I've found one in the 1927 Cleveland Indians. The staff is junk and the offense is powerless, just 23 homers as a team. Hope you enjoy them!

Could someone site mail jpeterso please? Mine doesn't seem to be working either. Thanks.
