ATG 6 - Advice needed

I'm in a brand new round robin tournament involving teams from American league in the ATG6 card set.
We got to play with players only from an original team each season.
For my first season, I have the Red Sox (from every era).

The link: http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/team/812570

I picked Fenway park '67 :
Singles Homeruns
L R L R
1-20 1-18 1-17 1-20

The other teams have a lot of lefty starting pitchers (SP*) : 21 lefties / 23 righties overall

As we have a 100 million dollars salary cap, I was wondering what I should do about some players :

- Ted Williams: does his 11,83 worth it or should I save a million and take his 10,70 card (a bit more balanced).
- Carlton Fisk: same thing with his 2 cards: 5,30 or 7,43 , a 2 millions $ economy

These economies, of course, could allow me to take the best Nomar Garciapara card and improve elsewhere.

Some tough dilemmas !

Thanks guys !

jf, you will probably get a better response in the Strat-O-Matic Baseball: All-Time Greats forum.

Personally, I tried ATG6 and trust me: you don't want my advice!

Tough decisions in a league like this.


I'd like to see at least 1 top SP. Possibly 2. You have lots of really good choices in that area.

I've never seen Pudge Fisk do well with either card. If ya wanted to save $ somewhere, I say go with Ferrell.

You can save $ with the cheaper Teddy Ballgame card as well.

I'd also upgrade to the expensive Nomar card.

With all those LH's, you may wanna go with Dewey Evans in RF.

Also, I'd use the expensive Yaz card.

My 2 cents...

Thanks visick ! For Yaz & Evans, I'm with you but with Rice - Teddy - Lynn in the Of and Ortiz at Dh... Too much talent! At first Teddy or Rice were my Dh an the other in the Rf while Yaz (exp. card) was in the Lf. And then, with not much choice at 1st base, I decided to play Yaz there and go with Ortiz at Dh.

I too never had great results for the 3 or 4 times I've tried ATG, so I hear you on that ... but now that I'm in for 12 seasons, I'll have to find ways to compete.

BTW, I can't find the ATG forum, I only see ATG barnstormers forum. Is it the same one ?

It's the forum right above the ATG Barnstormers forum.
