[url=http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/baseball/stratomatic/atg3/team/team_other.html?user_id=279]What the hell[/url] :!: Couldn't stand to see Mays, Sisler, Waner on the FA list. Interesting league anyway in that there are 2 League '34's (in my division), 2 Dunns, a Yankee '78 and Muni. I don't think I've ever seen as much lefty pitching in one league before! :shock: Hoping Mays and Allen can have monster years. My pitching will be suspect at best, but it's all in fun right?!? At least they will have some great D behind them.

Should be fun to watch.

I'm thinking a .500 season would be a good year. :)

I knocked alot of the picks, but I do think Bernie did a great job. Atg III looks to be alot of fun! :D

I was kinda thinking I might get a comment or two.....good or bad.... :)

I'll bite. 8) This is my favorite style of team and I like the choices you've made. Lots of guys who put the bat on the ball - high average and lots of XBH (although more for 2B & 3B rather than HR). The lone power source is Mays - a great choice since he's got the HR power to knock it out of any park. ...but I can never resist the urge to tinker. :wink: If it were me, I'd make two, maybe 3 changes to the lineup...

#1 - Use Sisler as a leadoff man - he has higher OBP, speed and never gets hurt. I'd want to maximize his PA's.

#2 - The lineup looks considerably stronger vs. LHP, so I'd look for someone who kills righties and insert them between Mays and Allen.

#3 - Move Coleman to LF, Allen to DH, and find a 3B who plays better defense. I'd go with Denny Walling (since he wails on righties) w/ someone like Iorg or McMullin as a platoon partner. Although you sacrifice the Gold Glove in LF, you ge a lot of the defense back by taking Allen off the field.

Thanks Riggo!

I was / am struggling as to where to bat Sisler. My original lineup I had:

Sisler
Waner
Mays
Frisch
Allen
Moore
Parrish / Myatt
Burleson
Coleman

The reason I'm so lefty heavy is that (at last count) there were 25 LH SP and 23 RH SP! :shock:

In my division alone, there are 8 LH and 4 RH!

I love to tinker myself :wink: This may not be the finished product. :)

Thanks!
