This team for me finished with a .194 team Batting Average and ended up winning 92 games and won it's division:

The team lead the league in HRs, Walks, and Strikeouts. It was obviously dead last in hits and batting average. Very much an extreme team in every way. I think it would be pretty hard to duplicate with many of the 20xxs sets because you really need a large group of players to find enough guys (at every position) for a theme like this. But it really did let me cheap out on offense and put together a pretty strong staff that could still keep my opponents BPHRs at least somewhat in check.
Fun facts:
I was surprisingly never no-hit. Thought it would happen several times. I was one-hit three times I think.
Adam Dunn was 5th on his team is strikeouts. Doubt he could ever come close to that in real life
My team batting champion was Craig Monroe at .218
I had HFA for the playoffs, but hit only 2 HRs and was swept in the first round. All or nothing for sure.
Jerrod Dyson was initially perplexed why he was on this team, but amazingly fit right in
I hit over twice as many HRs as my opponents
Anyone else have a winning team with a BA under the Mendoza line?
