You've put together a pretty good team so far for our first 80's. I decided to risk Gooden this time because of my park and division. Which you are a part of.
I like the OBP\WHIP theroy. Although many of my pitchers have not lived up to the latter of my thinking. I have had very good success with Hoyt in the past and Royals stadium should help him more.
As I recall the first time I ever faced penngray he had Lynn in center at the Astrodome, like me. He did well for him. I have used him once before, on my lone play-off team, and got injured in the 2nd game. He makes me nervous.
One that has not been mentioned as a platoon in center against lefties is Wiggins. He is a 2 , but no arm. I had him platoon with Lynn late in the season that Lynn got hurt and did well. I have used him again with similiar results.
Not many "cheap" rp left. penngray beat us to the one I think is the best , Niedenfuer. I have had only once ever had to let him go out of dozen teams. He quite simply "rocks" where ever you call home.
It seems a bit strange telling a manager of your status about players, but would be glad to share with you what I have learned in the short time I have been involved in the 80's. I learned alot watching penngray. Having played against him in about 1\2 my teams. Alao a couple of vets shared their insight. Tracking injuries was a real key to revealing the possible year of the player. I have made some great pick-ups that way.
Look forward to playing you. Will let you knwo if Lynn makes me nervous enough to let him go before Monday :wink:
