Midknight, I have tried to find a way to screw you with the 1970 Detroit Tigers, and it's quite a puzzle.
Their best pitcher is John Hiller, and he's nothing great. You won't be using many Tiger arms anyway.
You have plenty of similar catchers, so no use dinging Freehan or even his cheap backup Price. You can work around those just fine.
There's no scenario I see where you're using Norm Cash at 1B, so nothing to see there. You have no one cheaper than $1.7M and have to get creative, but Cash is an unlikely piece of that plan.
There's a high likelihood you use 1 or even 2 of the Tigers at 2B, where your options are all pretty weak anyway. A potential spot.
I don't think you'll care if Elliot Maddox or Don Wert disappears from the options at 3B.
You only have 4 shortstops. The Tigers' Gutierrez is the cheapest at $1.7M, but the Browns also have a $1.9M one. You'll be eating some salary here regardless. Maybe you play Kubek in the outfield? I dunno, but I'm not sure taking Gutierrez away makes it all that much harder. But maybe ...
Outfield is intriguing, as you have one cheap guy plus potentially two guys from other positions competing for time since you have no cheap backups at 1B or SS. There are four Tigers outfielders, none of them cheap. Horton, Kaline and Northrup are somewhat interchangeable, and Stanley is the best defender (though not your only option in CF). I could take Horton away since he's the least expensive and a slightly better bat.
What I see as your biggest challenge on this team now is how to use the Indians and Yankees spots most effectively. The Yankees have 5 of your best pitching options, plus Kubek and Maris that you'd probably like to use. The Indians have 2 of your best pitchers, your best 1B and 3B and your best cheap options at a few positions. So I guess the best thing I can do is force you into a harder choice with one of those teams. ... Except I built out this roster as I would have done it, and I'm flummoxed as to which player would cause the most trouble to lose.
Since I can't determine anywhere I can cause real pain, I'll just take another of your best hitters (and a great value) out of the mix and dagger OF Willie Horton. I suspect you won't be too bothered by it, but you'll hopefully let me know sometime if this caused any trouble.
