I like Team C, but feel that they aren't well put together. Pete Rose never played catcher, and Al Wood played RF only 18 games his entire career, so that's two fielders out of position (and catcher is a doozy of a position to be out of position in). With Rose not being a catcher, the fact that there is no back up catcher also hurts. Add to that the fact that there is really only 2 starting pitchers in the rotation and it really just hurts the team (Garber had 9 career starts, Hartzell was a spot starter with 77 career starts and Castro had 9 career starts).

I have spread sheets, but I cannot figure out how to get them on here and make them readable, I'll keep trying and see if I can't get them here for each matchup. But for now, I gotta go pay bills.

How did no one catch that??? I was too busy finding my platyer I never noticed he slated Rose at C.

Should that be disallowed? I assumed you had to play the position your drafted for at least once? Has anone else on his roster played at least one game behind the dish? I'd like to see his lineup changed...

 

[Nosferatu]

He drafted Butch Wynegar

 

[Nosferatu]

I fixed it up a little bit...

I saw that he was drafted as a catcher, but didn't think anything of it when Wynegar was drafted. In my spread sheets I put Rose at RF (since I had Woods on the bench being a LF and rarely playing right), thinking he wouldn't be at catcher, and it just kind've went that way from there....

Rose as a catcher really threw this off but still like team D's pitching and 3-6 lineup better.

 

[broncosmitty]

The HEART of Team D's lineup is very impressive. :rollseyes:

See game 5 for explanation of totals, as I don't have time to post every players stats right now, but I'll drop some team totals on y'all. (Team C's totals are for original lineup - I haven't changed the line up in the spread sheet).

Middle of the order was the key and what I based my draft around
