With the chance (with a moderately successful season) to advance to the Barnstormer Finals, I am fielding the following team:

SP - Adams, Reulbach, Russo, P Dean, B Walker
RP - Adams, Reulbach, Russo, P Dean, B Walker
Pitchers I hope to never see the field - Faber, Hallahan, Tudor, Moose, Horton

c - Gedman/Steinbach
1b-Adcock
2b-Red
ss-Honus
3b-Red
lf-Sisler
cf-A Simmons
rf-Cuyler

This seems like a terrible idea - but for some reason I can't resist the magnetic pull of these particular players. Maybe it's just because I titter like a little boy seeing the names Joe Adcock and Dick Sisler and two Reds in my lineup. Who knows. Enjoy the carnage.

Nasty pitching staff. I think it'll work if Wagner & Adcock can stay fairly healthy.

I'm tempted to hit the, "report abuse", button!

:D

Sometimes, when you can't think of a clever name, you come up with a clever strategy instead!

:P

LMAO, PJ.

Seeing all those Reds raises the spectre of another theme team idea...all names of Colors. Pitching , of course, Three Finger Brown, Red Ruffing, Whitey Ford, Sandy Koufax, Vida Blue, Joe Black, Red Faber. Easier to group by colors than by position. Whites/ Whiteys: Kurowski, Jerry, Bill, Frank. Dick Green. Pete Rose....
