What was the running game like against Nokes?

I'd say you were just a few hitters away from a pretty good team here (given that I personally don't like constructing these all or nothing offense machines). If you sub out Appling, Collins, and/or Waner for big time HR hitters to match your stadium, I think the offense would have (surprisingly) been even more potent.

Good news bad news...

Nokes and B/U threw out the most runners in the league 65...

however allowed 220 steals...

I should have coupled Nokes with -minus hold pitchers like Bonam...Knepper et all

Charleston/Mays are wasted money here. There are better offensive players at first than Charleston for the money, and playing him at first means you are paying for an unused asset (CF defense... Expensive). I'm not a Mays fan, so I'd have put his 10 towards a 1B who can field (assuming we're not playing Thomas in the field) or a DH who can rake (Mize comes immediately to mind, but there are others... Lots of others) and anything extra to make Appling into Willie Wells.

Nokie is one of those annoying players who tends to make good base-stealers great.

Not looking for advice...just thought I would show Nokes bang for the buck...thanks for your opinion though

Mays had 30 2b's 20 3b's and 67Hr's with 218RBI.......pretty nice!

Love that hitting team, don't like the relievers. I like having those table setters (Collins, Appling) on there. I just think with that type of team, you need some stud r4 or r3 relievers (Sutter, Murray, etc...) to pitch the 250-300 innings instead of Nelson and Dubuc. To get that money, probably would have had to change Charleston to a 9-10M guy.

well, in my opinion, the guy who really hurt this team was ........................
