That team will get killed.
You need to replace Higbe with a 3R or so starter in the same price range. He's an S6* and you effectively have no bullpen, if you're going with that strategy, you need S8* and S9* starters. Look at Ray Caldwell or Dizzy Dismukes.
Mungo is also not optimal. Look at Ray Brown - he's cheaper, probably better, and can really hit.
Score will probably work out fine, but I'd want an S9* as my #1 - look at Early Wynn, Ted Lyons, Bob Lemon, or Amos Rusie.
Boone is fine, but you might look at Rickey Ferrell.
Cepeda doesn't seem best to me - look at the little Gil Hodges or Tony Perez, or even some of the little McGwire cards.
Cal is a horrible choice at 3B. Get the little Killebrew - half the injury risk and twice the card.
I'd get a real SS. A lot of people like Eddie Miller, I like the Templeton-Versalles platoon. In MM, you might even just think of running Templeton out there against all comers.
Rather than playing Simmons in CF and Rickey in LF, I'd use Mays 54 or Willard Brown in CF. Others like Bobby Bonds or Jimmy Wynn out there.
There are other options in RF, although that Aaron card is a pretty good value.
You'll still have money left over - I'd spend it on a solid reliever who is R3 or better.
