First team in '69.

Played the 2003 and had the Excel info. Any help is GREATLY accepted.

Great title to your thread... :lol:

The season is 12 games old. Be patient.

Fenway is a righty power hitters haven. Your ace is LH. McDowell is good no doubt, but I would rather have my ace by a righty in this park.

Catfish is a pitchers park SP. Make sure he's throwing only in them.

Perry and Odom are fine. Cardwell has that BPHR on 9 which scares me.

Drabowsky can be a stud here. I think you should have gone with a pitcher or 2 less though. ie. Wood, Aker and/or McGraw.

Hitting:
Your OF is very nice. Your INF is OK.

Overall, IMHO I think you've got too many guys on this squad. Plus you've got $1 million left over. I'd rather see a team with the minimum #of players that are good, OR with 1 or 2 extra that will platoon.


That being said, it's only 12 games in. DO NOT PANIC YET. Let these guys play 1/4 of the season. At that point if you are unhappy with them, make a few trade offers first. Don't start cleaning house by dropping them.

As much as I love Yaz, I have not seen a good season from him in 69 in any league yet.

I here that, I have Yaz and have him hitting only against RHP and he still cannot hit :oops: . SGT D
