1st dagger round,
Razor,
Initially, I thought, WOW! What a team! Pitching, offense and defense, this team has it all! And in your hands, well, we all know you raise the bar. You’re going to make it TOUGH! BUT, then I remembered we are using the great equalizer! This is an $80M league. This isn’t the juice6 tourney. LOL. Let see what you’re working with…
Offensively, you look great. Lots of good value and no one overly priced. Medwick and Collins are good targets, as is Hartnett. Maury Wills is interesting, too. But you do have Eddie Lake and, worst case scenario, Leo Durocher.
Defensively, well, your team is going to be average…unless you plan on keeping opponents from scoring with pitching and defense. E better look at what you have for pitching…
Damn, you have A LOT of pitching options. At least at SP…. then again… There aren’t a lot of RP stars at during the eras we are using. I seriously considered the ’65 Dodgers. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ’65 KOUFAX!!! But, that would probably be my downfall. Hmmm. Maybe we can push you that way…
For SP’s you have: 1935 Cardinals brothers Dizzy and Paul Dean. Besides Koufax, the ’65 Dodgers offer a $10M Drysdale and a very affordable $7.4M Osteen. The rest only offer an average Pete Alexander and a Dave Ferris that I really know nothing about (will change following this post). Hmmm… if salary wasn’t an issue, I would have a starting staff full of Dodgers and Cardinals. So… let’s affect that. Since we have the great equalizer, let’s screw with your pitching.
Dodger pitching is stronger than their hitting. I REALLY want to see your Koufax in this league. So…let’s do this… Osteen is the cheapest and probably on your short list. Go ahead and start over. Like I said, I REALLY WANT TO SEE KOUFAX IN THIS LEAGUE!
Say goodbye to Claude Osteen. And, since Koufax only performs well in pitcher parks, no Dodger Stadium for you. Let’s see how what kind of team you can build with the parks and pitchers you have left to choose from. But then again, you ARE one of the highly esteemed owners here. I’m sure you’ll build a team worthy of the WIS archives! Good luck, sir! Looking forward to our competition this season!
