A question from Ranger Joe prompted me to do some research and start a new topic on the subject.

On the other hand, it's pretty scary when Wild Bill Hallahan is the ace of the staff.


So that made me wonder ... Who's been the ACE of your pitching staffs on your BOMBER TEAMS. Ideally, I'm looking for the cheapo type's who have overperformed. But, if it's a bomber team, go ahead and list anybody you've used who became the ACE for you.

Here's my list:

Dick Coffman 10-10
Sam Leever 15-6
Sam Frock 8-4
Deacon Phillippe 19-6
Pete Vuckovich 18-6
Wild Bill Hallahan 11-1
Deacon Phillippe 19-7
Paul Splitorff 10-7
Kid Speer 15-6
Ed Killian 21-10
Charlie Lea 11-5
Kid Speer 16-8
Wild Bill Hallahan 9-8
Dazzy Vance 11-7
Kid Speer 13-7
Al Demaree 17-11
Sam Frock 12-6
Carroll Yerkes 15-8
Charlie Lea 11-10

I think I build too many bomber teams ....... :wink:

Reuther

15-8 4.25 ERA

Team 95-67

425 HRs - no DH!

Maxwell

15-5 5.25 ERA

Team 79-83

455 HRs - no DH!

Yerkes 13-6 4.82 ERA
79-83 team record
445 HRs - No DH!

That kind of sounds like a challenge ...... :wink:

Kooseman 16-18, team 77-85, 257 HR :oops: (I know, its embarrasing).
Pierce, 12-7, team 78-84, 244 HR :oops:
Merritt, 13-8, team 71-91, 141 HR

Are you seeing a trend here? No wonder I play small ball. Almost all my small ball teams finish over .500, and NONE of my bomber teams do. Crud, and I just drafted a bomber team... I think I'm doomed!!! :roll:

I had Pete on a team at Baker where I scored 992 runs with 370 HR's.He went 27-13 with a 3.59 ERA and a WHIP of 1.22.-olwill

Munger, Munger, Munger, Munger, Munger, Munger, Leever, Speer, and Quinn but mainly Munger.

Here is a champion bomber team in Yankee 27 with all SPs under $1m. Some real nice performances, and a couple of cheapies out of the pen that did real well:

My other bomber team that won a championship, playing in 67 Fenway. Again, some nice, cheapy performances from the staff:

Coveleski, Hughes, Demaree, Bagby Sr, and Pete Vuckovich. Trying Caldwell and Harris at this time.
