I am post-waivers with this club and would like some informed advice.

The team is stacked with LH power (Reggie Jackson, Snider, Matthews, Ripper). I have Carter to protect vs. lefties. The problem I am having is that I need a 2nd baseman and need to make a cut somewhere. The options out there are not very good. I have Keller in LF but may have to downgrade to Buford to get a leadoff hitter and use the extra $ to get a decent 2B. I am also considering dropping Ripper for a Merkle/Mincher platoon to get the 2b. Also, my team seems a bit one dimensional (walk, Hrs, no team speed) and I face a Forbes and two Dodger '65/s in my div. Opinions? Do I need to fine tune or a major overhaul? check it out-thanks!

Wow, you have some great options for your park if I read the wire correctly, suggest:

Baum for Per
Staley for Goose
Minch/Bev for Ripper
Whit/Max platoon at 2B
Bush at SS for leadoff
Yaz in LF
Bahnsen as 3rd RP

Lineup:
Bush
Yaz
Snider
Reggie
Carter
Eddie (or hit him 2nd)
Minch/Bev
Whit/Maz

Match your SPs to home park and division rvials, a 5 man is always an option.

If not Yaz, then get Joe Jackson and spend on pitching.

Your pen can get the same perf for far less $$

Best of luck, sschu
