My vote goes for 2018 Mallex Smith. He is a triple machine that can steal bases.

Marwin Gonzalez `17, Brian Roberts `06, Maury Wills `60 all great.
6/28/2019 2:29 AM
I have used Marwin Gonzalez `17 several times and he never disappoints on offense.

1888 Pete Browning makes a very nice 2-hole hitter.

There's a 631 PA Ben Zobrist that I use on almost every team - switch hitter, walks a lot, mediocre defense, never needs rest, has 2B/OF flexibility. He's not great but will put up high .300s OBP with a bunch of doubles - I'll take that value on a full-time player all day long! I find myself batting him 2nd a lot because he gets on base at a good clip.

2017 Adam Engel

'55 Smoky Burgess is good for a cheap catcher. '83 Willie Wilson is worth a flyer. '98 Otis Nixon barely meets the PA minimum, but is worthy. I like '98 Marquis Grissom too.

There are a few good Gene Tenace seasons with high OBP and a good arm at catcher, his secondary position. His avg will be terrible but he has some power and gets on base. Great value here, especially if you play in a pitchers' park (I've used the cheaper one in Petco before):

1978 .228/.397/.415 B+/C/A- 515 PA, $3.29mm
1974 .213/.370/.417 C/D+/A+ 612 PA, $4.04mm

I'd love to see the team we're effectively building in a low cap league, maybe in Dodger Stadium or something similar:

C 1955 Smokey Burgess
1B 1888 Pete Browning
2B 2006 Brian Roberts
3B 2017 Marwin Gonzalez
SS 1960 Maury Wills
OF 2018 Mallex Smith
OF 1983 Willie Wilson
OF 1998 Otis Nixon

That's a lot of guys who could hit .300+ with tons of speed and solid defense!

Good choices. You don't need solid defense in Dodger Stadium though

Substituted Freehan for Burgess, put 389 PA Segui at 1B and added Vince Coleman as a 4th OF. Putting them in Petco. Never said I was smart.

Didn’t see my guy 2017 Adam Engel. Dude gets a hit every 10 ABs!
7/3/2019 2:01 AM
Greinke a baller

Greinke a Haller

the whole history of his MLB life a ******* stud basically

short on innings though
7/3/2019 2:14 AM
Greinke & Pedro `99 way short on innings & ridiculously expensive -- many people think too expensive for an OL. We'll see. Cy Young & Barney Pelty are my innings eaters.
