4 LHP as starters?

[sleepdok]

Has anyone ever won with 4 out of 5 SP throwing lefty?

Seems my division rivals all have teams that do better vs. RHP.

Thanks for reading.

I have a team with 5 lefties and I am currently doing well. If you want my team link let me know.

This was a March Madness Tourney team in the 80s game earlier this year - won my division and then lost in the first round of the playoffs, but had an awesome all-lefty 5 SP rotation. At one point, 4 of the 5 were in the list of top ERA pitchers, and they all featured frequently in the other stats categories. My thinking was that most teams wind up hitting RHP better, or want to if given the choice because most opponents' rotations (and pens) are heavily populated by righties. So I figured I could be the pain in the butt with all the lefties...and it helped to have reverse lefties if possible too. I also see that much of the time platoons tend to have a stronger half against RHP...

I don't think it's that big a deal in the 2006 game, and have seen four or more SP's relatively often. You have a good chance of seeing one third of the league in LH parks, with Minutemaid as the only real park that can kill you. While you have to beat your division rivals to get to the playoffs, a bad draw should you make it and you can be relatively easily eliminated if you are too one dimensional. I just won a finals pretty easily vs an all RH Minutemaid team, as I was his worst nightmare with a rotation of Pedro, Carpenter, Garcia and Bird in Fenway.
