Hey...

... joined a 200M cap league and needed some punch vs LHP.

I picked up Wally Post,, cheap, decent D, nice arm, zero injury player, and those 40 dingers...WOW!!

Lots of homer parks in this league so he can help.

Two solids 2-4 and 2-5, look mighty big.

The talent level in ATG 8 is enormous, big, huge, etc. etc. Easy to supplement a 200M Roster.

Cudos to this game.

There are a ton of lefty-killing RF's.

Some guys that kill lefties and are also useful against reverse RHP:

Ramirez
Winfield
Evans
Salmon
Buhner
Furillo
Canseco

Guys you probably want to use only as platooners:

Gonzalez
Clemente (but his 1969 card is useful both ways if you can stomach the injury rolls)
Valentine 1980
Rettenmund
Cowens
Jacobson (lousy arm, great card, no injuries)
Ennis
Hickman
Burroughs

And the reverse lefties

Chino Smith
Waner
Herman
Ichiro

I think you might be able to do better than the Postman.

Oh, yeah! I just assumed Bullet Joe was not available. I have failed to get him at 10th on my draft card.
