I'd sell my soul for a pitcher with a power sinker...
Let's do this with the least research possible, so I'm less disappointed when I get slaughtered!

1995 Indians (5 points)
ALCS MVPs (6 points)



EDIT: Someone trade me a catcher because whoops I did not think this through.

This team is ,,,.well it’s gonna have some good draft picks

Am I a reprehensible dick if I factor this in with an existing desire to experiment with guys in expansion period who probably won't be on my "regular season" team? (Trick question, I'm a reprehensible dick for other reasons altogether!) Or is "bench the safe picks, see what you can get out of risky guys" a viable strategy?

Thanks for the input... interested to see if Plunk, Assenmacher, or Justice can be half-useful pieces, but my "safer" bets to fill minors are not exactly must-have guys.

It's the EC, so do as you like, obviously.

But know that Roberto Alomar played a whopping 40 innings of shortstop in his career and it's gonna be a disaster zone trying him there vs. LHP.

Vizquel is more than capable of handling the position and will even get on base at a not completely terrible rate.

Also you have Placido Polanco who apparently is the greatest fielding third baseman in the history of MLB. I am not sure if that matters.

Thanks, you have a good point - there's no need to start off using a definite weakness when I want to know if Vizquel can give me enough at the plate.

Shuffled the lineups in my original post - not sure if that even matters, I figure lineups will get moved when people see ratings anyway.
