I tried once before but couldn't get Mantle and Oz...[url=http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/baseball/stratomatic/atg2/team/team_other.html?user_id=107630]but this time I did[/url].

Pitching staff scares me, but I like the lineup. I could abandon the all even pitchers and put together a nice staff, but I want to stay true to Munich_Man's creation.

Lineup vs. LHP

1. Rose, Pete (S) LF
2. Smith, Reggie (S) RF
3. Mantle, Mickey (S) CF
4. Collins, Ripper (S) 1B
5. Pendleton, Terry (S) 3B
6. Simmons, Ted (S) C
7. Schoendienst, Red (S) 2B
8. Smith, Ozzie (S) SS

Lineup vs. RHP

1. Rose, Pete (S) LF
2. Smith, Ozzie (S) SS
3. Smith, Reggie (S) RF
4. Mantle, Mickey (S) CF
5. Collins, Ripper (S) 1B
6. Schoendienst, Red (S) 2B
7. Simmons, Ted (S) C
8. Pendleton, Terry (S) 3B


Anyone have any experience with these pitchers? Seems like a solid 5-man. Not much to choose from for the bullpen. I couldn't pry McEnaney away.

Think they'll make .500??? :)

It was even harder putting together an all "E" pitching staff in ATGI. Good luck, I think you'll do great! Looks like a winner to me. :D

Bat Mantle 2nd against lefties, 3rd against righties.

Think I might go Ozzie leading off vs RHs, with Red batting second. Rose hits much better vs LHs, I believe. I'd bat him low in the order vs RHs, despite the DPs and speed advantage he offers over Red.
