Has anyone won a tour league WITHOUT ANY of the following players?

Pujols, Beltran, Vizquel, Jeter, Hafner, Howard, M Ramirez, Webb, Lackey, Zambrano, Papelbon, Nathan, or BJ Ryan.

Remember, NONE OF THE ABOVE! (BTW Cheapskates leagues DON'T COUNT!)

I've lost tour events with lots of these players .... lol

You didn't mention Putz, so yes. Round 1 $80M.

I won 2 tour events (1 and 3), without any of the players you mention:

Thanks for the feedback guys. So I guess it is possible to win it all without some of the players people think are the best in the set. Although I still see that people had an "ace", a top notch hitter, and very good closer.

I thought for sure I could give you a team because I have won 2x on tour and have only had Jeter on my team from that list. Of course I have had Jeter 2x and am 2 for 2....Fortunately I got the 2nd pick in lg 7 and took him.

I won Event 4 league 1 without any of those players.

You have to love the fact that there are so many different ways to be successful at this game! You got Verlander and Smoltz to win 17 and 16 games respectfully at Citizens' Bank! Great Job!
