For the folks who like to copy teams

Mystery of having great teams solved. There he is, right at the bottom of Don F's pitching staff.

These leagues had to be ATG III or IV, right? Back in the day when you could get Fred Scherman as a steal for .5M. Wonder if teams are still getting these type of differentials with the addition of the new cards/NeL cards? Anyone know the most wins for an ATG6 team?

The team that occasioned this thread is ATG 6 and starts the playoffs tomorrow.

Here is another ATG VI team in Forbes. It's Exp. W-L exactly matched it actual W-L record.

The most wins for a $100 million ATG6 team, as far as I know, is 112. It was set by PillPop in the recent Barnstormer's. You can access his team by going to the BS home page and searching, I think it was event #4. (He didn't win the playoffs, so you'll have to hunt through the leagues.)

This is the team in question, from a pre-WWII league. It went belly-up in the semi's, and was a filler, so it didn't help me one bit in the Barnstormers standings:

Thanks for posting the link, PP. I had forgotten it was a pre-WW2 league. No wonder I made so many changes.

Here it is in all its glory

That to me is amazing - any special circumstances in this league? (like all smallball teams, a theme league?) I try for plus 200 cause that pretty much guarantees a 100 win season, but 433? That's plain sick! :shock:

[The Last Druid]

No special themes. Just ATG 4 when Don was beginning to patent his cheap bullpen theory.

I remember that team like it was yesterday, now that my memory has been jogged. Funny thing is we were in the same division, played in the same park, and I went 14-10 against him during the season too. I had 4 hard righties Wood, Blackwell, Rogers and Rigney. Don had three hard righties and Feller. But I had three lefties/switchers (Speaker, Ozzie and Huggins) and Don only had one lefty, McGraw, against righties. Don murdered lefties (.345 BA) but I didn't have any to give him! I remember when I built that team, I designed it to match up against Don. So while he may have had the best team ever in ATG, it just didn't match up that well against mine.

It was also a helluva world series.

I'm doing a do-over with the exact same roster as a team that won 100 games, topping it off with a league championship last night.

Team 1:

Team 2:

http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/team/team_other.html?user_id=357489

I would be very surprised if the results were close to the same the next time around. I'm expecting something like 85-90 wins, but you never know ...

Here's a team worth duplicating:

[url=http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/team/team_other.html?user_id=345986]MASH Unit[/url]


My initial premise was to gamble with injuries in the hopes of getting greater value out of each player. Was the discount for injury chance worth it? I ended up compromising with two players but here is the roster, along with the actual number of games played and plate appearances:

Catcher - Rick Ferrell and Mickey O'Neil (they both sucked so I won't bother with them)
1B - Frank Chance 1906 (152-697)
2B - Miller Huggins 1912 (133-610)
3B - George Brett 1980 (142-616)
SS - Willie Wells NeL (160-691)
LF - Vince Coleman 1987 (162-662)
CF - Joe Dimaggio 1939 (156-678)
RF - Chick Hafey 1929 (152-649)

Wells and Coleman were the two guys with injury limitations, everyone else was a gamble, and I'd say it worked out quite well. Huggins and Brett both missed substantial time, everyone else posted essentially normal plate appearances. I wonder what would happen if I did this again?
