80M Arbitration Winners Filled out my offense first, looking for good OBP and XBH guys – targeting low 40M for total. Then took what was left to build a low OAV, high K, ERC+ for pitchers. Using a pitcher’s stadium to try to manage IP. In general I like this team but could use a “lose in 10th inning” option. No desire to play long games. Hitters
308-399-445 Pitchers 1301 IP – 1.02 WHIP
90M Century 21 Hurlers I used the same strategy here as for the 80M roster. Modern pitchers for K’s, less balls in play the better, plus the boost it gives the kickball defense. Hitters
309-403-439 Pitchers 1337 IP - 0.97 WHIP
110M The Boys of One I picked +/- 1 out of laziness. Again, built an offense I liked and then built the pitching staff. However, as we move up the salary cap I began to focus more on WHIP and low OAV. Built a staff around Walsh and Big Train and DeGrom to spot start and LR. Probably could have allocated IP better between Team I and Team II – but wanted one team that I didn’t have to micro manage innings. Hitters
320-414-477 Pitchers 1527 IP – 0.92 WHIP
120M Addie Boys Built about 5 teams, but settled on Gehrig (he does everything at the plate) Furcal (D at SS), Joss (Value – wanted Pedro, but didn’t like my offense when I used him as my SP), Kershaw and Koji. Built the offense then filled in the gaps on the mound with low OAV, high ERC+. In retrospect I don’t like this staff, and need Jose DeLeon to gut out 260 decent innings – my least favorite team.

301-401-504 Pitchers 1399 IP = 0.95 WHIP
140M Yanks-WhiteSox-Twins Hard to not use the Yanks when you can build a line up with Gehrig, Ruth and Mantle. For pitching went back to Walsh and Big Train and Santana. Probably my favorite team in the tournament. Hitters
338-447-562 Pitchers IP 1419 – 0.85 WHIP
180M Squint 172 High Cap so decided to build the most ridiculous pitching staff I could and then go find some hitters. Pedro’s best season and Big Train’s best season, and probably the best bullpen of all time. Hitters are solid lead by Teddy Ballgame at DH and an assorted group of high OBP, XBH tagalongs. Hitters
335-444-540 Pitchers 1403 IP – 0.75 WHIP
