You type just fine.
Make sure you spend all your cash though :)

No one is throwing Bonds overboard. Just saying that forcing players out of position is not likely a winning proposition in most cases, but it can be fun.

Coaching 15 year olds is a tiring job!

Just had a game where both players carded for 2B were injured. Hal moved Kemp from OF to 2B. Can’t complain about that - he had to move somebody.
The Hal inserted Hafner, a 5 1B’er who is my DH, into the OF where he is not rated. There were other OF’ers available.
So Hal went out of his way to hurt me defensively at 2 positions.
While Kiner is a nice card, there are many other 3 and 4 rated RF cards at or just below his price so I don’t think I would take the chance day to day. Let us know how the experiment goes.
PS: I won the game anyway. :lol:

I was in a league with Riggo who took three centerfielders, and left RF and LF open. He had two big guns who hit eighth and ninth every game, and despite the subpar defense, his team performed really well.

I think he did it simply to stretch his legs some. There’s really no point in doing that in a pool of like 10,000 players to choose from, unless you’re just really, really bored.



Not bored, curious. Just couldn't pass up a shot at that middle of the order.
I have also had really good luck with the Edmonds and Bishop cards. I am going to let the HAL take the wheel.

Clearly not working out the way you planned. York also being an outfielder is causing you problems.

If I am reading right, Kiner inserted at home. York inserted on the road.
