Time for a fun team. All 4's on D. Oglivie will play CF. Should be interesting :lol:

Interesting experiment, please report back on the outcomes. I often think defense is a bit overrated and overpriced. Good luck! :D

My money is on the team struggling with all those 4's, but a super interesting experiment.

Only 33 out of 68 possible X Chart outs is not a good sign 12 games into the season. I think the average is more like 75% - 85%. A really good fielding team with all 1's could even be as high as 90%.

Can the hitting out pace the fielding? Great experiment. Looks like it could be a rough one though. Era around 9 a few games in. The offense is keeping up as of now but can it hold up? Good luck

Yes, it's been rough to say the least. :lol: Started 3-0 and hitting the skids. Gonna stick it out for a few weeks at least. My pitchers are getting hammered since I have them set to throw until their arm falls off! LOL
