I couldn't figure out a way to roster $12M Rogers Hornsby or $9.6M Frank Robinson without severe pain elsewhere. So I settled for a deep lineup that should take advantage of Sportsman's +3 doubles rating pretty well. Our defense will be decent, though it wasn't a great Adrian Beltre season with the glove (B/D+) and our catchers couldn't throw out grandma.
On the pitching side, I like my top two starters (Folty and Dobson) but not quite so much the rest of the rotation. My bullpen should be pretty strong with Joe Nathan, Seranthony Dominguez, Gregg Olson, and Bob McClure. I hope 1,425 IP holds up well in a hitters' park.
