Banditos VII- most well rounded line up because of cochrane-http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/baseball/stratomatic/atg2/team/team_other.html?user_id=112975
Bandittos VIII- the best team pitching I think

Banditos IX- the coolest lineup because of the outfield

I've been trying out the Teddy ball theory (as much as I can make out what the heck it is) at Forbes;
My strat was to get the best OBP/AVg/Clutch at each position under 10 million.
Then pick up what I could for Pitching, going for the solid, well rounded types. ie..just hold on till the htting wears their team down.
Can these teams win?
Have I completely missed the idea of Teddy ball? Does my subtraction of a good OBP Catcher pervert the idea too much?
The seasons are early for all these teams, so we'll see what happens. A few are off too insane OBP starts. Team X is my favorite, but they are in a darn tough league and division. My heart may be broken
Any sugestions on batting order would be appreciated.
Should I have Speaker go 1st, it seems like a waste due to his Clutch
Since all except Gehringer have mega clutch, I lean towards batting him first. But in the original Teddy Ball example, he had them go by OBP in order- should I do this as well.
Researching was a blast, for example- just based on RC at Forbes- I figured the top 5 outfielders to be
Cobb/Stan/Speaker- roughly the same, but Stan had neg clutch
Jackson/Stephenson- a big notch down
then McKosky/Culyer/Simmons- another notch down
Jones/Keller/Gwynn/Yaz- again
Aaron/Ott/Rettenmun/Furrilo- and again
Once I looked at price, Clutch and OBP, the choices seemed obvious as to who were the best players- Cobb/Speaker/Jackson/Stephenson/Culyer/Jones/Keller and Furrilo for his glove, although I'd drop it down to the 3/4/5 million guys instead of Furrillo.
Any thoughts criticic, nay sayers are welcome
