Best Decade Team - Tournament Topic

In the team selection grid on page 2, you have me as 1920s in Lg05, but I believe that is my 2010s team.

On a separate note, I'm a bit concerned about my low cookie score. That is generally not a good omen for me.

Idk. It'll be close. 1910s or 1900s. Nearly everyone agrees with me that the 1950s and 1970s will probably be the worst decades.

Also schwarze. 1 request.
My biggest debate making my 2000 team was whether to use 2000 Pedro or not. He's very expensive so I almost went with 2002 Pedro but decided that I found some good enough hitters for cheap. How many and what percentage did people choose 2000 Pedro?

One more idea. I wonder which person thinks most like me (defined as Highest Average Comp Factor)... This table shows each Comparison-Group (i.e., 2 owners), how many decades they share, and their average Comp Factor.

I must be missing something, but how do I tell the difference between AL and NL for voting purposes?

1900-1959 is NL, 1960-2016 is AL

1920's not a single vote for best or worst. I guess they are destined to be a .500 team in this tournament.

I hope everybody votes. At the end of this round, I am going to see who's votes were the most accurate.

I voted for 1920s as the worst decade (in the NL). The pitching is just dreadful.

I voted for the 1910s for best and worst accidently. I would vote the 1950s for worst in general

I really should have been able to figure that out for myself.

Definitely don't understand all the hate on the 70's. Pitching is a little meh, sure

The 70s isn't a great offensive decade and doesn't have the pitching to compensate. I personally like it better than the 50s because the 50s starting pitching is poor for a tournament like this one. For example, the 70s have only 71 players with > 500 PA/162 with a .400 or better OBP. Despite having 8-10 fewer teams every year, the 50s have 109. I know that OBP is only one metric but I seldom use any 70s hitters in caps of $120M or higher unless the theme rules require it.

I agree. I like my 1970's team.

The volume of capable players pales in importance relative to finding the right mix. While there aren't a lot of great 70's hitters, the ones who are solid form a pretty cohesive mix.
