2006 check out this team

a 4 at second is almost as bad, in a theme league recently craig counsel was struggling and i was 63-65 so i dumped him for a DH type and played Soriano at second base I went 4 - 30 to finish the season (67-95) possibly the worst collapse i have ever had

Dude,

Look at cfX on the pitchers' cards. Every time this roll comes up, you are giving up a hit, and very likely one for extra bases.

If your LF and RF are 4's, your friggin' screwed pal. You will have one of the worst ERA's in the league playing that crap.

Now I am not the greatest Strat player here by a long shot, but I have a new rule for myself to keep 4's out of my outfield period. I will get the offense in other places.

Like I said, your pitching will be a joke if you play 4's all the way across the OF.

See...I'm not so nice about it. 8)

Aray & BC are right----I don't care where you play or how great your pitchers are---4's across the board in the OF is a reciepe for disaster.....Your stud pitchers will become mediocre at best.....Basically what it boils down to is your outfielders will allow a ton of hits because they just can't get to the ball.....I don't have a link to it but you need to check out an X chart and see the effect this will have........I have used 4's in the OF before, but never 3 of em....In fact I don't think I've ever used 2 unless it was a theme league or because of injury...Whatever you decide...good luck to you :D

I tried using your link above but I think it sends me to my team, not your FAs

[cummings2]

I think you have a little too much allocated in pitching (42.33 MM) personally I'd shave a good 10-12 mil out of pitching and put it in good offensive players that won't hurt you defensively.

I believe you have a PNC, and Ameriquest and a Minute Maid in your division -not having gone through matchups other than just at a glance I think you're not too hot within your division. Just my opinion though.

You have a pretty good bunch of guys dropping by here.

Bombs, pelzer, gored, bleach, "Toitle", Array, Robo-G, Jerr and D-T. It's like a star studded panel of advisors. Best tip I can offer is:

Listen to what these guys recommend. They're all wicked good.
