Good D, especially up the middle, decent power, not great speed, but the OBP is way low, here are your numbers:

vs RH
OBP 0.352
SLG 0.411
OPS 0.763
HR 2.7
PBHRs 33

vs LH
OBP 0.354
SLG 0.421
OPS 0.776
HR 3.8
PBHRs 33

If there are some pitcher parks/teams in your division, you will really struggle to score, after Koufax and Camnitz your odds go way down.

I agree OBP is not there...no true leadoff guy. Also your overall team BA is pretty low. I think Konstanty and Taylor could go for a couple cheapies and beef up the offense some.

[Rob55]

no OBP will kill you.... plus low BA.... you need a bit of power with OBP and BA attached.... I would think this team will have trouble winning 75.

[PJ Axelsson]

Playing in a division with Briggs '40, Griffith, and Riverfront.

[PJ Axelsson]

Any other thoughts?

[sschu]

Dump Cammy, Konstanty & Pleis, get Lonborg and Key types. Use the extra $ to buy some OBP.

Looks like a championship team to me

[PJ Axelsson]

This team actually just completed a season. Not much love for this one other than from Charlie, who likely recognized it. :wink:

Who couldn't love a team with Koufax Camintz Doby & Carter? Is tommie Agee underrated? I think so,
