Oooooof!
Others might nitpick, but overall, looks pretty good to me...
[list:bab14b2b47]Lefty bats aren't dependent upon ballpark effects.
Tons of righty power in the OF + Lowell + and a little power coming from J.Wilson.
Good cheap OBP from Carroll. [/list:u:bab14b2b47]
I like the selection of pitchers. Oswalt & Radke are great for Wrigley because they have reverse platoons without high vulnerablity to ballpark effects from righty hitters. Their Earned Run Averages will drop.
The only negative comment (and this is minor) is that the super-cheap pitchers are pretty stinky this year, so you want to make sure Groom & Bump don't get too many innings.
I had a team win a division a few weeks ago in spite of a [b:bab14b2b47]17-game losing streak[/b:bab14b2b47] :shock: in the middle of the season. So if it were me, I'd be patient and wait for the fellas to turn it around... 8)
Good luck w/ the rest of the season!
