100 mil Dunn team

[tomwistar]

I don't usually play Dunn, and I don't usually play 100 mil teams, so this might be a disaster. I've noticed from a couple other 100 mil leagues that guys who usually do well in Dunn--Key, Lolich, etc.--get pummeled. Seems like all the 4-6 mil pitchers are liable to ring up eras in the 5s and 6s against the 100 mil monster lineups. So I went for the pricey deadball guys.

Adams
Russo
Taylor
Sturdivant

Wound up with Bennett as my 5th.

Pen of Tincup and Staley, with cheapies rounding it out.

Lineup (this is a dh league):

Shoeless
Keller
Ruth
Dimaggio
McCovey (Burns platoon)
Rolfe
May
Durocher
Gilliam

I'm thinking that Gilliam's speed and walks will be nice in the 9 slot, with my top three coming up.

Any suggestions? Do I need two expensive pen guys? Maybe downgrade one and upgrade SS? Or I could downgrade Taylor to someone like Hiller or Key and try to upgrade Bennett.


Most important: am I gonna get my butt whipped???

Thanks for any advice.

I'm playing in Dunn for the first time, and Bennett has been lights out so far as my 4th starter. Of course, as you say, facing a lineup in a 100M league is gonna be tougher. I'm also using Adams, and Staley in the pen along with Richert, Bahsnen, & Shoffner. It may not help, but here's my Dunn team with some of that cast of characters through 117 games....
