However, your logic is flawed because it considers pitching and hitting to be interchangeable and equally valuable. In reality, the value of quality hitting in this version of SOM clearly outweighs pitching, especially when dealing with salary caps in excess of $80 million

I completely agree. I'd much rather take high priced hitters over high priced pitchers. Unfortunately, I have 6 SPs over 10M, so I'm getting crap for a draft order.[/quote:19bb1ab978]
I agree, you're draft order is abysmal. Trying to make sure every team has a chance (but no obligation) to acquire a player over 11 mil (except of course the white sox). Looking at who the Cards have available to them, I think you're going to have one of two very attractive players available to you in round one. You've got Gibson and Musial locked up and you're first round draft choice should be significantly more expensive than either of them.
Overall though, the White Sox and Dodgers are in a tough spot because they have so few hitters available to them. The Cardinals and Red Sox are in the most vulnerable positons in the draft order and could be boxed out of the choices they want.
