Are you platooning Lindstrom and Bridges? If so, that's far too much on the wrong side.

Bridges is just a backup.

I would say;
Collins
Delahanty
Sisler
Dimaggio
Chino
Wagner
Stargell
Lindstrom
Cochrane
although, I would be tempted to put Wagner first. I really like Delhanty 3rd- then Sisler, D, and Chino.
I'd also be tempted to put lindstrom first

That is a nice looking team as far as I am concerned. Your starting pitchers are tough and you have two super relievers who can pitch a ton of innings. Your lineup features a lot of great hitters with high batting averages and OBP. I am not sure I would use Joe Dimaggio in that stadium, I think he will fly out a lot on those ballpark HR chances.Unless there a lot of ballparks in your division that are righty HR parks..... I don't have any experience with the 140 million dollar salary caps, but I do have experience with small ball.

There are 2 Hunt. ave '11 parks (1-19, 1-19 HR) in his division, so I think Dimaggio will be an asset in this lineup, especially if he can stay in the race close when it gets to divisional play at the end of the season!

True. That, and in $140 there is probably nobody left in free agents over $9m, and you need some star players to win

Good points guys,...I stand corrected. Good luck with that team.
