Looks interesting, thanks for sharing ... some advice for a newbie to ATG -- at $80M, you can save even more money in the bullpen by trying to take down each reliever to about .50-60ishM and EXTREME split guys. And you certainly don't need to spend .72 on Halama as a 5th starter/reliever. Those guys will get so few innings in $80M if you set your starters the right way (conservative relief on team strategy, and pitching preferences, check don't relieve before F0 and slow hook).
Too much $ for guys on the bench, go cheap .50-60ishM too. Take all that extra money, maybe a couple or few mill, and upgrade either Ventura (doesn't fit your park, try a platoon of Chone Figgins and someone like Jordy Mercer who kills lefties, Jordy's likely not available) or someone else. Max Bishop's OBP looks great, but he's a SNAIL (12 run speed), not good for small ball, and 15 game injury eligible. I see you want Griffey and Puljos, but if you were to get Speaker for CF, he'd actually be much better than Griffey in that park. You actually don't need two big boppers. Need speed, OBP and hits, four ace strategy and very cheap bullpen and bench. Consider a few platoons definitely to maximize match-ups, always critical.
