I am in Crosley 41. Other parks in division are Royals 80, Forbes 57 and Forbes 65. Only a few bomber parks in the league.

Just interested to get another perspective on this team. Thanks!

Looks like you're trying small ball? If so IMO you need better D, esp up the middle. Also with just a quick glance it looks like you could be in for a lot of injuries, you have zero players with 680 PA let alone with 650.

Guys 600 is the magic number of pa to avoid the 15 game injury risk. 680 (or is it 685) is bulletproof.

I like the team. Not necessarily the exact guys I'd use but a nice group of Starters and some goodies throughout the lineup.

I expect you to go 80-40 in the first 120 games and 2-40 in the last 42.

:mrgreen:

With how my teams have done lately that would be an improvement!

Its a good team. The only area I would change would be at second base and set up a platoon. You have an extra infielder for ever position and I would get a cheapee to stretch out to other postions- say a Kubiak.
With all that speed I would pay close attention to how good the catching is and how well opposing pitchers hold.

I don't like the platoon at second base. The concept is okay, but this one only works if you are liable to see more left handed pitching that right. Value should be switched, to have more money on the vs R than the vs L.

Not sure what ya mean kettle. I couldnt see the rest of league pitching tha you mentioned. But say you face lefties 30 % of the time, then you can compensate with dollars accordingly. I dont think he has any other platoon on his team and second base is a place where you can find a nice and cheap platoon. Say 2 guys for for total of 2.3 mil or so.
