It saves me significant time in verifying rosters if you list the salary for each player. If our numbers are different, it helps me identify the discrepancy.

I sitemailed you the cut-and-paste of my draft center with salaries

Until I get busy checking rosters or fixing the league alignment, I suppose I could use the time to talk through my team.

At C, I lost my cheapest option Corrales to a dagger, and felt I needed to pay for Bench over Crandall. Hs defense is really impressive - you might want to adjust our SB settings. But, Tresh plays for the White Sox, which is probably worth the 350k upcharge. If Tresh ends up starting against you, I like your chances. One of my friends might even bet on you, but I know nothing about that.

The IF is a mixed bag - the SS options in our field were particularly limited. Torre is cheap but the AB could be a problem. I might like Ruiz as a backup over the "not cheap enough" Marshall. I will put Torre near the bottom of the order and see what happens. I was happy to see 2B Helms survive dagger #1. Before r4, I was assuming I would have to roster Schoendienst, mostly useful for defense. I was impressed with how unremarkable my 2B options were - some great screw choices. At 3B, I am paying solid money for Appling as well as Perez. Appling's ability to flex at SS where my options were terrible is the primary reason I denied Beernoser access to the White Sox for dagger #2, which I think he figured out based on his write-up. Castleman and Miranda will compete for defensive replaement opportunities.

The OF, however, has more solid hitters. Hammering Hank is clearly among the greatest to ever walk the field. Alex Johnson will be a great leadoff hitter, and Nieman's stats are great but his PA were not as muh so. Hopefully Taylor was double as cheap backup and occasional starter, because Hanebrink will not do. This does give me the option to put a slugger in the 8 slot, whch I have not tried in WIS yet. It seems like my hitters will be above average and sometimes very good, until the P slot at least. I should usually have one viable PH for pitching transition innings, assuming I can control Sparky better than Brad Pitt could.

I think SP options are strong - not off the charts, but the worst ERA of the trio was Spahn at 3.07. Portocarrero was a great dagger given affordablity, but without him I think I can manage a 3 SP rotation including Burdette and Harshman. Or go down in flames trying. That saves enough money to put four solid options in the bullpen. Jay setting up Robinson should end strong, and Gumpert and Carroll should be enough to handle the 6th/7th as needed. I am counting on nothing from Caldwell and Pearson - but Judson will probably have to cover some non-MOP innings to make the whole ensemble work.

If anyone cares, the Peckham Rose was not an actual flower, but a brand of cheap matches that worked in the rhyming scheme of the song "River of Orchids" to imply a "smells like sulfur" joke about London (which might apply to any MLB sized city). But none of the prior Peckham named teams made the playoffs, so I guess I am hoping a wild card can make the difference. Like Beernoser, I know my optimism is probably misplaced - especially after I went through midknght's roster....

Well, what a disaster! It’s so tough to build a good team in this league! This team will be lucky to score any runs and if we do have a lead after the 7^th, our bullpen will almost certainly lose it for us. How did we get here? Well let’s take a look.

I started off drafting 14^th, right in the middle, and opted for the 1968 Cleveland Indians. Mostly this was to draft SP Luis Tiant (260 IP/162, 1.77 ERC#, .184 OAV#, 0.95 WHIP#, 0.55 HR/9#, $12.4M) but he also brings with him SP Sam McDowell (271 IP/162, 2.50 ERC#, .205 OAV#, 1.17 WHIP#, 0.43 HR/9#, $8.8M) who I also plan on using as a 1-2 punch to build my pitching staff around. RP Vicente Romo (84 IP/162, 1.72 ERC#, .169 OAV#, 0.98 WHIP#, 0.53 HR/9#, $3.1M) is also in the plan as one of my primary relievers. SP’s Sonny Siebert and Stan Williams are both cheap possibles should Tiant or McDowell get daggered. RP Horacio Pina (32 IP/162, 2.99 ERC#, .235 OAV#, 1.33 WHIP#, 0.00 HR/9#, $0.8M) and RP Eddie Fisher could also get a look.

On offense the Indians don’t offer much: OF Jose Cardenal, C Duke Sims, C Joe Azcue (.298/.347/.363, A/A+/A+, $3.3M) and platoon OF’s Russ Snyder and Lee Maye. 3 good options and 9 decent ones. Not a bad start.

My 1^st gift from kentol was the jugger(not) known as the 1988 Atlanta Braves. Knowing what we know today, there was a lot to be happy about for the Braves future. They have John Smoltz, Tom Glavine, and Ron Gant to go with Bruce Sutter, Zane Smith, Lonnie Smith, and Dale Murphy. But this is 1988 and we’re either too early in their careers or too late in their careers and these seasons all pretty much suck and none of them will make the final team.
Initially I was eyeing OF Dale Murphy, 2B Ron Gant, 1B Gerald Perry (.308/.348/.411, C-/B-, $4.0M), and 3B Ken Oberkfell for position players. LH reliever Paul Assenmacher was the only pitcher I felt was usable. Luckily, the Braves do have 4 pitchers under $1M along with 3 more position players also under $1M. We’re going to need to use a few of these guys if I want to keep Tiant and McDowell on the staff.

My 2^nd gift came from 2^nd season owner claytonengel. Somehow, after 31 horrible teams were already assigned, he managed to dig up this steaming pile of cow dung for me to enjoy for the rest of the season. The 1938 Boston Bees have one notable name, OF Debs Garms (506 PA/162, .313/.371/.367, B+/C, $3.4M), and a bunch of guys whom have been all but forgotten. Other than Garms we put down 2B Tony Cuccinello (657 PA/162, .263/.331/.369, B-/B-, $4.0M) and 1B Elbie Fletcher as possible starters in the field.

On the pitching side SP Danny Macfayden (235 IP/162, 2.97 ERC#, .244 OAV#, 1.23 WHIP#, 0.28 HR/9#, $6.0M) and SP Jim Turner are possible additions as is RP Dick Errickson. The Bees also boast one pitcher under $1M along with 3 position players who are also under $1M. At least the two gifted teams have given me plenty of sub-$1M players to work with. Too bad we only have 2 pitchers with salaries over $7M. On offense, our most expensive player available to us is Jose Cardenal at $4.490M! I think I have some salary cap space to work with going into round 4. Hopefully I can find a team that can take advantage of it.

I needed to add some position players who can give me some offense. Specifically, I needed a SS and another OF. I would also like to add another SP as an option just in case Tiant or McDowell gets daggered. I was happy to find the 1988 Milwaukee Brewers were still available. They didn’t necessarily solve my SS issue but they gave me the 3^rd SP I was looking for, SP Teddy Higuera (228 IP/162, 2.10 ERC#, .208 OAV#, 1.01 WHIP#, 0.52 HR/9#, $8.0M)! I also got LH RP’s Dan Plesac, Paul Mirabella, and Juan Nieves to go with RH RP’s Chuck Crim and Don August.

On offense, the Brewers provided OF Robin Yount (696 PA/162, .308/.371/.461, A/A+, $7.6M) and 3B Paul Molitor (690 PA/162, .314/.386/.447, C/B, $5.7M) as the offensive weapons I needed. They also have OF Rob Deer and 2B Jim Gantner as possible starters. On the bench we get 3 sub-$1M players to go with 1 sub-$1M pitcher. I would have liked more offense but this was the best I could get if I wanted a pitcher of Higuera’s caliber.

After looking at what I had for options on this team, I could see it would be difficult to land Tiant, McDowell, Higuera, Yount, and Molitor all on the same team. My initial thought was I could get 4 of the 5 for sure. Ideally, my choice would get made for me with the 1^st dagger and then I would protect the other 4 from the 2^nd dagger. Daggering any one of those guys would hurt. Hitting Yount or Molitor would hurt more. I already have no offense so why not take out one of the two best weapons I have? Now, what would I do?

There were two other options I would consider if I were daggering this team. The 1^st one that came to mind was daggering Romo. He is my only RP worth his salt. Without him we would most definitely lead the league in blown saves.

The other option is to exploit a very obvious weakness, SS. We have only 5 eligible SS’s. Four of them are priced between $2.6 and $3.2M. One of them, SS Jim Hitchcock (85 PA/162, .169/.192/.173, D-/C-, $0.2M), is under $1M and the cheapest player on my roster. Hitting him will cost me a minimum of $2.4M in wasted salary at SS plus the additional cost for his Bees’ replacement. I knew I was essentially throwing this position away but having to do it twice will hurt the most. This is what I would do.

On to the dagger round and I get knifed by _jwillis, who does a very thorough analysis and comes to the same conclusion as I had, hit the obvious weakness and make me pay double for it. And I say goodbye to Jim Hitchcock. Well done, sir.

The 4 parks I have available are: Braves Field, County Stadium, Cleveland Stadium, and Atlanta Fulton County Stadium. My preferences are in the same order. Braves Field is a park my pitchers would have loved. Another nice stab.

For dagger 2, jonstephen25 got the honor and I needed to give him the target team. At this point I decided I wanted to land all 5 prizes rather than 4 of my prized 5. This meant I needed to protect the Brewers and Indians, leaving the Braves and Bees as my only options. That would at least leave my pitching staff intact and give me my two best offensive weapons.

One of the key players I am targeting is Brave 1B Ted Simmons (125 PA/162, .202/.302/.317, C/D-, $0.3M). Simmons is cheap and also plays C. I would only need 30-40 PS’s from him at 1B, leaving 90-100 PA’s for C. That would allow me to draft two catchers who total less than 600 PA’s and avoid wasting salary. Other Braves I am considering rostering are 1B Gerald Perry who can be replaced by Elbie Fletcher and OF Dale Murphy, who could be replaced by Brewer Rob Deer. If I put up the Braves, Simmons is who I would hit and that would cost me another $1M in wasted salary.

As far as the Bees are concerned, I was considering rostering Cuccinello to play 2B but he could be replaced by Gantner or Gant. I am also planning on rostering SS Rabbit Warstler (555 PA/162, .229/.303/.272, C-/A, $2.6M) but he can be replaced by Indian SS Larry Brown (557 PA/162, .250/.315/.340, B/D+, $2.8M) or Brewer Dale Sveum. One of them is already going to make the team and having both won’t be much different than if I have Rabbit. OF Debs Garms is penciled in to play the OF and he is a great value at $3.4M. He looks really good in my lineup with Molitor, Yount, Perry, and Deer. Murphy is not the replacement I would want but he would work with a ballpark change. I have some platoon options, too.

Since it seemed I could recover from a hit on the Bees easier than a hit on Simmons, I gave jonstephens the Bees to dagger one more time. The Garms dagger is going to be extremely difficult to get around, mostly due to his great value. More on that in the build. Another great dagger that really puts a hurt on my team.

I had to get creative to build this team. I penciled in my ideal team without taking salary into account and we were well over $80M. I had to make some sacrifices and it’s going to cost me.

Catcher – I went with Indian C Joe Azcue and Brewer C Bill Schroeder (131 PA/162, .157/.209/.292, A+/B-/C+, $0.8M).

First Base – I need .300 hitters and Brave 1B Gerald Perry is one of the few I have. Brave 1B Ted Simmons will back him up and play some catcher as well.

Second Base – I really wanted Gantner here but I am limited on Brewer spots. I opted for Bees 2B Tony Cuccinello. He’ll be backed up by Brewer 2B Juan Castillo (94 PA/162, .224/.249/.219, C/D-, $0.3M) who will actually play in the OF (C-/C), not 2B.

Third Base – I was happy to land Brewer 3B Paul Molitor here. He doesn’t need a back-up but has Bees 3B Gil English (194 PA/162, .246/.315/.324, B/D, $0.8M) who will play OF and pinch hit more than anything else.

Shortstop – Went with the $5.7M combo of Bees SS Rabbit Warstler and Indian SS Larry Brown. Both will play. Neither will be memorable.

Outfield - I needed Garms in LF to land either Deer, Cardenal, or Murphy for RF. Losing him and his $3.4M salary was going to be impossible to replace with the Hitchcock hit already costing me significant salary. I ended up having to roster a platoon to replace him: Brave OF Albert Hall (261 PA/162, .254/.323/.308, C/C+, $1.4M) and Brewer OF Jeffrey Leonard (398 PA/162, .237/.272/.346, B/C-, $2.0M). In center we have Brewer OF Robin Yount. Unfortunately, we didn’t have enough salary to draft Dale Murphy. Instead, we drafted Brave OF Dion James (455 PA/162, .264/.363/.359, B+/D-, $2.4M) and back him up with Bees OF Harl Maggert (106 PA/162, .278/.354/.419, C/D, $0.5M).

Rotation – This is definitely the strength of this team. We were able to roster Indians Luis Tiant and Sam McDowell, Brewer Teddy Higuera, and Bee Danny Macfayden. Pretty happy with the rotation.

Bullpen – This is a bigger weakness than SS. We did roster Indians Vicente Romo and Horacio Pina. But we couldn’t get Mirabella or Plesac from the Brewers. Instead we rostered Brewer RP Mark Clear (29 IP/162, 4.40 ERC#, .217 OAV#, 1.53 WHIP#, 1.11 HR/9#, $0.4M) for his cheap salary. The same can be said for Braves RP Juan Eichelberger (38 IP/162, 4.58 ERC#, .304 OAV#, 1.50 WHIP#, 0.72 HR/9#) and RP Jim Acker (43 IP/162, 4.78 ERC#, .286 OAV#, 1.46 WHIP#, 1.29 HR/9#, $0.6M), and Bee RP Bobby Reis (62 IP/162, 5.92 ERC#, .269 OAV#, 1.76 WHIP#, 0.88 HR/9#, $0.8M). Yeah, this is UGLY!

Ballpark – County Stadium

Outlook
It’s not good. Although we have a solid rotation, we’re going to have a tough time scoring runs and keeping leads at the end of games. Our bullpen is a disaster after Romo and Pina. We’ll need complete games from McDowell and Tiant. We don’t reach base much and when we do we will struggle to drive them in. We have no homerun power and will be dependent on inching our way home each inning. Our defense is suspect in the infield and we don’t steal bases very well. If we get 70 wins it will be a miracle. Good luck everyone

Welp, it was nagging at me that I could not find a way to include Bob Knepper so, I tweaked this final roster. I didn't touch the hitting, which will be the strength of the team. Starting pitching got slightly better and the bullpen is terrible but hey, everyone has a weakness. We'll go with a strong fielding DeJesus at SS and leading off, 3B Pinky Higgins hitting second, 1B slugger Jimmie Foxx, then doubles hitting Ben Chapman hitting cleanup. Rock glove Del Ennis in LF batting 5th, followed by Mike Ivie in RF platooning with CF Harry Walker (with Chapman moving to CF when Ivie plays). Hitting 7th becuase of low ABs is 2bagger Bill Madlock with C Gene DeSautel hitting 8th. Knepper on the mound opening day followed by Vida Blue and either Ed Halicki or Dutch Leonard. Krukow and McGlothen long relievers to try to get to Bruce Sutter. Billie Jean King's brother Randy Moffit in short relief too and if we need to get to Paul Reuschel or Charlie Bicknell, we are in trouble.

Am posting team soon --- By looking you can see the '58 and '88 have (6) Players

Have a neat OF though and Runnels at 2B

Total Salary came from the Draft Center ...
