For someone with two screw picks coming today, midknight, that was an excellent defensive play.

LOL. Maybe, but there's still plenty of stink out there to go around.

Ermocito, you’ve got a solid start to a roster with the 50 Giants. Jansen is a horse for a rotation ace, and Maglie is serviceable in there too. Spencer is expensive for 27 innings but great. And Hearn is tough to fit at this cap but hard not to use either. All told those guys will cost $21m and cover less than half your innings. Still, a good group.


On offense you have 6 hitters in a good salary range as full-time players with only Stanky a little pricey at 2b and Irvin short on PA but your best bat. One cheap backup 2b too, but you’ve only got 7 roster spots max.


I decided after much debate that I’ll give you the 1930 Philadelphia Phillies. There are worse teams out there, but I like the fit here best, or lack of it.


Let’s start with the pitching. The team ERA is 6.58 with a .343 OAV. There’s no one here you want to use. But I’ll concede a couple might make good mopups.


They have a $10m Chuck Klein who’s a stud hitter, but I don’t think you can find the salary space. After that there’s one more great hitter in Lefty O’Doul. He’s affordable but can’t field or run, so there’s that. Bad defense is a theme here in fact. Don Hurst is a solid bat at 1b with a D/D- glove. Bernie Friberg can hit nicely at 2b if you don’t use Stanky, but he’s D+/D-. Pinky Whitney is a good fielder at 3b but more expensive and a worse hitter than Hank Thompson who you’ve already got.


The topper is that they have no backup 3b or SS just as your Giants don’t, and they only have two $2m-plus 2b. No dirt cheap hitters at all. Have fun picking out 6 hitters here who won’t kill your defense or be downgrades from your Giants.

For Fairley Fustle he took the 70 Twins I am going to add 1930 Boston Red SOX
Nothing on the pitching side and only 1 decent OF which you already have a few from the twins. Have fun.

Yes. He got distracted by life last night, but I doubt the teams assigned today are the ones he would pick, so he's taking his time to look things over after work today. We've chatted, I am not concerned.

redcped, I definitely had a target in mind for that Phillies team.
But.... it wasn't me.....

Glad you get to spend more time with them.

Well redcped went with the 40 White Sox to start his team.

I went back and forth between three teams but when pushed to the 7 pm deadline I decided I had to make a decision so in the end I decided to go with the lousiest hitters even though they have lots of cheap options to save your budget.

I probably made the wrong decision, but you know what happens when you take something right to the deadline.

Redcped gets the 1940 Boston Bees

Midnight(late pick)
I award you the
1950 StLouis Browns
They'll give you a starting catcher; and maybe a starting pitcher; if you can stomach a 1.43 whip

Beernoser - My gift to you is the 1930 St Louis Browns. Your 1970 Red Sox have solid hitting, and you might be able to use a couple of the Browns bats, but after all, it was 1930. No help at 1B, so Yaz is still a dagger target. For your reserves, 3 of the 5 Browns are outfielders so you don't have a lot to choose from. There's one decent starter at $7M, but Lefty Stewart isn't that different from the couple you already have on the Sox. The rest of the pitchers, to quote Crash Davis, are "meat." After all, it is 1930.

midnight - Your 1950 Phillies are great at C, OF, SP, RP and cheap at C 2B OF RP

I found some more great OF batters for you with the 1950 Chicago Cubs.
Defensive prowess is not their bag, but they play away from the bags so it should be fine.
Also a chunk of 3-4 million dollar mediocrity. Use that as you see fit.
The Cubs will also give you more cheap 2B OF RP options, some pinch hitting, and an average WHIP of 1.49.
After all, they didn't get from 1906 to 2016 without a strategy!

Hello All!

Thank you for your patience. I am glad to be back in a league, it has been a while and I had a lot of fun last time.

My pick is going to be the 1940 Boston Red Sox. GLHF!
