Do you think Mitt wants the 47% coming and bringing their poorness with them to his own community? No, Newton is a much better place for the ballpark. No T access, so you keep away the poorest of the leeches, but still close to his home and not entirely made up of the braying proletariat.

I should mention that Baseball Mogul doesn't take the individual season into account really, it does a projection for that player based on his career stats and age, similar to PECOTA or ZIPS. So even though Carlos Pena had an MVP type season in 2007, you shouldn't expect him to be that good. Also the Boogeyman rules

I was sketching if I was to do it, if you add the 93 Angels with Finley and Langston and some more bullpen arms you are golden. Also Salmon so you can really trade an OF for an SP (if that is allowed, I honestly don't know)

If I had another point I'd probably have taken Glasscock. His nickname was "Pebbly Jack"- I'm really wondering where that came from.

The important thing is to find something that seems fun to you. I just kinda picked a few teams without really considering how pieces aligned. Eventually I decided I wanted to honor my left-handed heritage by only utilizing lefty (or switch-hitting) folks on my team. It's been a blast since then
