As far as SoxYanks comment that he had the '03 Cincy and '73 CHW and both sucked, here's what I found;
You're right about Cincy. Your best option might be to use the IF (Decent Boone and Jimenez) you could twist Casey to 2004. No pitching.
'73 ChiSox isn't bad in that you can use Wood as your WC and twist him to '72. 397 IPs at 1.06 WHIP. Started 49 games so you could go up to 54 starts with him in this league.
That is pretty much what I ended up doing...used 83 Spos Battery, Twisted WW to 72, 03 Reds INF twisting Larkin back to 02, 63 ox OF, and the 93 Cards Pen
