ANy help is appreciated. Ohter teams in division are Polo 36, Fenway 67, Polo 11. Pitching is almost even LH/RH, hitting is favoring RH batters

If it's not a DH league, why Lollar AND Parrish. Pick one or the other (Parrish would be my choice for his durability) and then a cheap backup. Put the additional money elsewhere.

Since your lineup is solid, I would spend the additional $3.00 million on pitching either upgrading Mogridge or Hughes. Or adding one more quality reliever.

My take K.O.

Your line up is solid . Only Rickey's and Brett's injuries are not good . Hope they stay healthy is all . I'd keep Lefferts and Humphreys and downgrade Quiz and McKain . There's lots of better cheaper choices . Keep Bagby . Hughes gets rocked in Baker for me , so I don't use him anymore there . Mogridge gives up to many walks and his era will be lucky to be under 6.00 . Knepper, Lolich are good replacements.
If you were going a 5 man rotation there alot of options then . just my .02

How cheap can I go on pitching in Baker $100 league?

I didn't see the 100M before KO . You'll need more pitching instead of less . Rickey or Brett is where I'd get some $$$ from , if that's the way you want to go .

I personally would keep Rickey and brett...my choice to drop would be Ott...I think you will find him disappointing for the $$ in Baker, just does not have enough POP! I would rather have Ennis, Alou, Valentine than Ott, then use the money to upgrade your pitching a bit..... :)

Knepper has too many BPHR's, and Vuck will not cut it in a 100 mill League IMHO...look to upgrade here. Bullpen is nice.

my .02 :)

If pitching is 50/50 L/R, Brett might disappoint.

None of the SPs other than Bagby are great HR park fits. I like Derringer the most, followed by Hughes and Newsome. I might consider downgrading Bass to a cheap lefty RF who can pound RHP, platoon him with Pafko, and use that 3M to upgrade SP.

It now stands at 7 RHP and 5 LHP
I have Ennis, Banks, Henderson, and Parrish for those lefties
BUt my SP is not strong

Put Stan in LF and take Rickey's $$$ and get a 1st baseman and spread the rest around . Knepper was a better choice IMO than Holtzman is .

Can't seem to part with Rickey. I am hoping he provides OBP and pop at the top of the lineup. I like the idea of having Henderson, Morgan, Musial and Brett at the top of a lineup. I have Dave Henderson in RF now (never used him before). He seems like a decent defensive guy that kills LHP. My biggest concern is that my division rivals are Forbes, Forbes, and Candlestick.

1. Oakland #24 (R) LF

5. Brett, George (L) 3B
6. Henderson, Dave (R) RF
7. Doby, Larry (L) CF
8. Parrish, Lance (R) C
9. Pitcher P
