I love my team until I look at the whole thing all together. Then I hate it. And I can't figure out what to do about it.

I think I'll just continue to squint and only see bits and pieces at a time.

Would it make you feel better by sending Honus Wagner to me?

Building a Turner '05 team for this lefty leaning league is like my golf game. I'm screwed swinging for the pin or simply laying it up short and working my short game.

My first sign of trouble is I've never rostered any of my starting pitchers or the line-up card hitters except for Eddie Collins.

Second, I had a decent mix between LHBs and RHBs with long drives with the Biggio and Chipper cards anchoring my lefthand line-up card. In my experience, Biggio and Chipper chronically under perform. With the number of lefty parks, the greens looked great for Biggio/Chipper to hit their card weight.

I had my eyes on George Brett hitting the free agent rolls but Bernie dropped Eddie Matthews' newly priced card. While I assessed Chipper Jones' card higher than Eddie's for this league, Eddie M's "new" card is still a monster. In my three other running leagues, he's among the RC/27 leaders. I figured a LHB bat hitting in the parks beats a $9.71m "RHB" in those parks. So, I dropped Chipper and grabbed Eddie a few times.

With the extra cash, I had no great place to spend it unless I upgraded Larry Bowa. When Eddie Collins hit the free agent wire, I grabbed him knowing he hits, fields, and runs better than most in this set. In my uses of Eddie, he's never disappointed me. Otherwise, I'd go long with Biggio and hope he didn't just lead the league in HBPs.

Finally, I expect my Turner team to struggle if Barry keeps getting walked while Ernie Banks gets 6 homeruns. :twisted:

It's actually one of the first times I've used him. Usually, in $100m SS is one of the places I skimp and go for cheap defender. This is a luxury for me. And I picked up Ward because somewhere in the dark recesses of my brain I remember Druid saying likes Ward to back up Wagner due to his injury risk. And if Druid says it it's usually good advice.

I don't like my team because ALL of my hitters are leaning the same way. But there was no idividual player I wanted to change out. I talked myself into it because of the high amount of lefty starters that Michael mentioned.

Also, I'm a M.A.S.H unit waiting to happen.

My Turner Field based team awards

Best pick: Bruce Sutter - Cy Young award winner; 90+ games with 280+ innings tossed

Worse pick: Eddie Collins - $10.59 but played like a $5 card; Eddie had 100+ Ks on a card with 0 K chances; 70 extra pitcher card rolls don't help.

"Can I keep him" pick: : Bruce Sutter

"Who I missed out on" pick: Turkey Stearnes Turkey getting drafted surprised me. He typically sits on the waiver wire. I lost out on the CFs with the loss of Turkey. Andre Dawson did a nice job at under $8 but Turkey caused me to shuffle my OF.

Ichiro Suzuki's 2004 card disappointed me. I've never seen him with less than 230+ hits. He had plenty of LHPs to hit off and still couldn't do it.
