I have gone back and forth on this there wasn't any cheap players that worked. I wanted to Dagger your 1b Collins but that would allow you to spend more salary on pitching So I have to choose 1964 Sandy Koufax to dagger I realize you still have lots of SP depth but Koufax was by far the best Pitcher available on any team so he is gone.

As for the stadium let's go Dodger Stadium to Dagger

vilefileman - As much as I'd like to give you None of the Above to dagger, I'm fairly sure that's not an option...

So please throw VERY carefully at the 1924 Reds.

Dodger Don's dagger

This probably stupid. There's an obvious dagger just sitting out there and I'm going a different way after going back and forth in my head for 24 hours.

In the end I just can't stand you having a 464 on base guy hitting in front of Jimmy Wynn, even if he doesn't play every day

So, probably stupidly, I'm daggering Dick Wakefield and the Astrodome.

calhoop -

I've invested far too many brain cycles in figuring out which player from the 54 Pirates to dagger.

My first thought is that the cheapest SS amongst your 4 teams is on the Pirates at $1.9M (Gair Allie). However, both he and his compadre on the Pirates qualify at other positions, so it wouldn't be a major handicap daggering him to make you take the $2.5M guy. That's probably the safest dagger to throw, but...

I started thinking: If I were building a $80M team from scratch, which 6 players on the Pirates would I most want to roster (or, alternatively, least hate to add)? There's Medium Hurt Frank Thomas, Vic Janowicz at $200K, Hal Rice at $300K, and then...there's a couple pitchers with an ERC# below 4, but neither of them is worth writing home about. If I dagger Janowicz, you'll just sub in the $400K 3B instead. I could dagger the cheapest pitcher (because every team can use a mop-up guy), but he's really not that cheap at over $600K.

The one other thing these Pirates have going for themselves is a decent catching platoon. That's just over 600 PA of .370+ OBP and decent/good arms for just over $5M - and it fills 2 of the 6 required spots. Looking over your other teams, there's two catchers that I wouldn't mind rostering...both of them are left-handed, and one of them could use a platoon partner based on PA.

I could throw the dagger like Tom Glavine and take the sure strike - or I could throw it like Steve Dalkowski and do real damage...or hit the cardboard batter in the head. I'm going Wild Thing here and daggering the small half of your catching platoon: Jack Shepard.

Farleyfustle can dagger someone from the ‘44 Tigers

jwillis - throw my 2nd dagger at someone from the '44 Senators.

My job is to dagger emocito -
He has the 1964 White Sox - 1974 Padres - 1944 Dodgers - 1954 Red Sox
I looked at a couple of different daggers here the 74 Padres are awful but give you some decent subs - no real help anywhere other than maybe McCovey at 1B and Thomas at 2b. I almost daggered McCovey because he is the only decent 1B option. However, he's not that great so I didn't.
The 44 Dodgers also don't provide much help but a couple of decent albeit expensive OF. Nothing really stuck out here to dagger.
He has some expensive starters and avg starters to mix in so nothing there.
There really wasn't a sub to dagger that would hurt enough so I looked at what I could take away that would leave him the weakest at any position.

My answer is SS - Ron Hansen - 64 CWS - good luck with the SS you have left....

Also say goodbye to the green monster and Fenway Park

Since we figure this team to

Jonstephen25

64 Yankees and 54 Reds give you many power hitting options. Yankees also give you some great arms, your other teams not so much. I went back and forth looking for which slugger to dagger and there were just too many to make a difference so I decided that you can have them all. Good luck rostering them.
64 Whitey Ford is golfing for the season. He is your best starter and other than Bouton not much else help is there. You also lose your best pitching park in Braves Field. That team will mash regardless of the stadium, so your staff gets the least amount of help. Enjoy those 12-9 games!

ooooohdoggie

Please dagger someone from my 1934 Browns.

If you can't find anyone worth daggering, blame redcped. He gave me that trash.

eman, you can use the final dagger on a member of the 1974 SD Padres.

It just reduces your already limited options by one. It’s an albatross roster for sure.

Second dagger for redcped won't hurt him a bit.

I'm assuming he takes all six Colt players from the pitching staff with nine good choices. So, it really doesn't matter who I pick.

In that case I'll dagger Bob Bruce (P) who at least could hit a little bit.

calhoop - you may dagger someone from my 1934 Pirates

3day rotation did a nice job on the first dagger for midknight of Denis Menke and was kind enough to point out his resulting situation with limited SS in his writeup. midknight has offered the 1934 Pirates roster for the second dagger. Do I look any further? For the sake of due diligence I checked all 4 rosters and noticed a lot of SPs over 160 IP/162 with an HR/9 over 1. Like almost everybody from any of the 3 1964 teams. 1934 Pirates pitching is pretty poor all around with the exception of 1 HOFer. Not only is 1934 Waite Hoyt the best ERC+ SP with over 160 IP out of any of the 4 teams but he has a 0.28 HR/9 allowed. Looks as if midknight will have to "Waite til next year" to use him since 1934 Pirates Waite Hoyt is daggered

on page 1 this is listed as being daggered from my team not midknight's. i don't have anyone daggered yet.
