With the Mystery League a lot of it is all the luck of the draw - we are at HAL's beck and call. I did very well one Tourney with getting all the best years of my guys and then the next year with mostly same lineup drove into the ditch.
In the ditch is mostly where my managerial skills take me even though I have played a lot of teams over the years - so for the mystery teams - luck of the draw for what you get. Great years when Killer and Frank Howard were cranking them out of the park - but not so good when they couldn't get on base.
I would also second the motion of Juice's superlative administration of Mystery - i just wish I could cut him a break by getting my teams in early instead of him having to remind me to do it.
