Well this team was a nightmare to put together. The teams screwing me did very good jobs. The 36 A's just didn't have six roster worthy players, especially after Bob Johnson got daggered. The other weird problem was that I didn't have any relief pitchers. With four teams I only had one pitcher with a WHIP under 1.40 and less than 100 IP. That's just plain weird.

I needed to use Frankie Hayes over Ted Simmons at catcher even though Simmons was better. Hayes was on the A's, but when Simmons didn't get daggered it left me with two finished teams. One used Hayes but had a nine man pitching staff with way too many innings. The other used Simmons but only had an eight man pitching staff. In the end I decided to go with the Simmons team and hope my pitching holds up. We'll play in Fenway to just stress our pitching a bit more.

I better be able to score runs. The lineup is formidable.

Whoever gave me the 26 Phils did a great job. There was some value there but my whole strategy revolved around maximizing the 6 from this team. That, and I had to decide whether to keep Don Newcombe. In the end I did and I left a lot of talent off the roster: baseball HOFers Gil Hodges, Pie Traynor, and Paul Waner, Dodger HOFer Jim Gilliam and A's HOFer Bert Campaneris to name a few.

Had a version of the team with both Juan Marichal and Vida Blue on it, but the sacrifiles on offense were just too much and ended up with neither. Somehow ended up with seven players off my worst team.
Decent rotation with Perry, Bolin, Ostermueller and Bahnsen/Hallett. Two pricey studs in bullpen with Fingers and McDaniel, but they'll eat up innings. Offense has three mashers with the two Willies and Hart. The rest are decent contact/OBP guys. Playing in the Colesium will help out the staff and hopefully not kill the offense.

This will be interesting. Completely different team than the last league. But, I do like the way we are constructed when looking at the rest of my division. Hated leaving off Roy White and Grant Jackson, but thankfully had some good options for a little less money. My gifted teams certainly did not do me any favors in the hitting dept! Therefore, the 36 Giants were a no-brainer for me to fill those gaps. I was really surprised and happy to get them as my 2nd team (in round 4). I even took 7 from that team vs the Yankees 6. As an aside, we have sprung for the leisure suit uniforms. Pants optional. Right click on the image and open in a new window to get a really sweet glimpse.

Losing Warren Spahn killed any chance of having a decent pitching staff, so we'll be trotting out a primarily 3-man rotation of Van Mungo, Lew Burdette, and Paul Derringer. The only other reasonable option was J.R. Richard, who walks a ton of guys but is hard to hit. He's about a $1M more than Derringer for the same WHIP and innings, so I'm saving money with the hittable Derringer instead.

I took the Astros largely because they had a bullpen, and I'm using 3 of them there, and for Cesar Cedeno to man CF. The Braves' Taylor Phillips is the only lefty arm on the staff, so we'll be a fun sight for lefty-heavy lineups. I had to take a few extra innings because of how much I expect these guys to get worked over.

My lineup, however, is sadly bereft of lefties should any other teams line up like mine. Aside from Eddie Mathews and a platoon catcher, everyone else is a righty. It's a decent enough group led by Cedeno, Mathews, Hank Aaron, Bob Watson, and Kiki Cuyler. I have no idea if they can score more than this weak pitching staff will allow. I'm not inclined to bet on it. Aside from Cedeno, we have no speed to speak of. The defense is pretty decent at least. The bench is mostly worthless, but thankfully they won't be needed much as 7 starters are over 630 PA.

I think we'll be lucky to be a .500 team ultimately. Anything over that will be gravy.
