Had a few credits so I am doing this power team. Thoughts? I like the hitting alot. Not much pitching but again, giving it a go.

I like your starting pitching :wink:

Seriously, I think you are way too vulnerable to LHP. Cepeda has too little OBP and too many GBA. I would swap him and Delancy.

Traded our Cepeda and Delancy for two guys I have had alot of success with actually in smaller parks. York and Lollar.

Just my 2 cents Dean, but I think if you want a hitting team, you need to be in a real Power/Hitters Park, to take full advantage of the team you have built. IMHO, I think Polo, Baker, or the like would have been a better choice than memorial '70.....but just my opinion.... :)

I like Lollar, never used York, not sure why. Good starters for your purpose, and I like the hitting balance. The only thing that could hurt you is that with the exception of Mays, there are a loy of errors out there. Errors combined with mid-priced starting pitching can result in a lot of extra runs allowed. But, with $80M, every team has to have some weakness. I like the team, overall. Good luck!

Just my opinion but like the team other than Keller Meusel or someone like that in LF makes your OF great

It is a tough call. This is my typical American Dreamer team also starting tonight so I am used to using pretty much the same guys on most of my teams.

Regarding the power team, I was thinking:

Keller
McDougald
Brett
Mays
Jackson
York
Lollar
Evers

I guess it could still change.
