Mel Ott (9.15) - Any numbers??

Looks like great OBP but not enough power - any thoughts, numbers on this card? Would you rather go with Ott, the expensive Straw card, or Chino Smith in a bomber park, 140M league?

For a bomber park, Ott has worked out nicely as a second choice when I've used him. Would rather use him than Chino, and would only use Straw over him if facing a bunch of RHP.

I have had varying success at different cap levels:

good season at 140M in LH friendly park http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/team/1023924
fair to good season at 200M in power park http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/team/817455

not so good at 120M in a pitcher friendly park http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/team/823150
also not so good at 140M http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/team/820912

I've had better success with Chino in $140 leagues. But I'd take Ott over Straw if Chino's unavailable.

He's doing well for me at Dunn in an $80 mil league.

While you are looking, what's wrong with this team? I really liked it when I drafted it, but it's looking middling at best.

Too many switchhitters? Dunn really surpresses RH batter numbers, and all those switchhitters are getting turned around to bat righty whenever you face a LHP............
