Anyone have any data? Meusel is available at the moment. Would he be a better choice for my ballpark?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Grab Meusel.
Post a link to your team so we can help with more perspective.

Thanks JUMA. I will grab Meusel. Here is my link.

Meusel has been picked up (just now) by another team. :x

Oliva or Rice maybe?

You are going to need more relief than that; that being said, Wade is a good cheap fit for your park. Schmidt will likely disappoint there; Steinfeldt would do well in all likelihood.
You might try the trade route here; Joe D. would look awfully good in CF & maybe Gehrig might be attractive bait. There are cheap options available at 1b that will do better for you than the #s Stormin' Gorman is going to put up in your park.

Thanks JUMA. My division opponents have a total of 6 tough lefties that I'll have to face, so thought Schmidt might help me out there. Also, two parks in my division are hitter friendly (Polo '11, Busch '64) and the other is pitcher friendly (Griff '24), so was thinkin' some pop might be nice.

Steinfeldt looks like he might do well in my park and would save me some $. Ben Wade would be a nice fit as well.

Thanks for the suggestions. Will sleep on it. :)

Don't really like Gorman Thomas or Reggie Smith on that team (or in your park).

Also, why do you have Rodney Scott on a team with Gilliam???

Agree you're gonna need SOME relief pitching no matter how good your starters are.

Players available (I looked on your FA wire) that will fit your team well:

R.Henderson
Boggs
Stephenson (not over C.Jones though)
Keller
McCosky
Canseco (better fit than Smith... has a lot of natural (non BP) HRs)
Doerr (always good to have a 1 at 2B)
Steinfeldt
S.Crawford
Chapman (better hitter than Fernandez)
Haas
Snodgrass
W.Wilson (in platoon)
C.Lemon (in platoon)
S.Rice

To solve the problem of the "6 tough lefties) in your division, I recommend strongly that you replace 15 game injury prospect Reggie Smith with Joe Medwick and move Schmidt out for a Rolfe or Rose or other good 3B (I dont know how to view your available free agents)

Medwick tears lefties up and also stands strong vs RHPs He's generally available plus he relies little on BP HRs which would be a strong asset in your park
