You have a number of intresting pieces like Bob Welch and Dummy Taylor, and maybe a couple of relief pitchers, what would you want?


Something to fill in for the roles I have the two Sammy Strang's sitting around for, mostly, so either a 2nd baseman/utility infielder or a 3rd baseman to platoon John McGraw with. Lefty hitters would be preferred.

I only see a few problems.

1. 1905 Roger Bresnahan is nowhere to be found! (Scoundrel!!!)
2. Neither is '91 Rick Honeycutt
3. '91 Jose Canseco is rated as a 67. He hit 41 homers with an OPS+ of 143 that year.

I'll probably tinker with my lineups when I see Bresnahan's ratings, because god drat Napoli turned out better than I thought.

I'll post up adjusted lineups later, but immediately, put Red Ames into the rotation from long reliever, and put Dummy Taylor (1905 Giants) in at long relief.

Good start for my cuddly dinger-machines, hopefully the loss of Dan Haren can be easily dealt with by additional mashing power.

Move Sammy Strang from 2nd to Shortstop
Put John McGraw at 2nd Base from third

Move Hughie Jennings from my bench into the minors to make room for Chipper Jones

Alright, looks like I know my big draft priority already. Could be worse, I guess, as I get the niggling feeling my pitching is underperforming in general. Let's try some new lineups.

Versus LHP AND RHP/DH
1. Rickey Henderson (LF)
2. John McGraw (2B)
3. Chipper Jones (3B)
4. Bobby Abreu (DH)
5. Mark McGwire (1B)
6. Roger Bresnahan (C)
7. Mike Donlin (CF)
8. Sammy Strang (SS)
9. Jose Canseco (RF)

No DH
1. Rickey Henderson (LF)
2. John McGraw (2B)
3. Chipper Jones (3B)
4. Mark McGwire (1B)
5. Roger Bresnahan (C)
6. Mike Donlin (CF)
7. Sammy Strang (SS)
8. Jose Canseco (RF)
9. [Pitcher]

Lets get rid of my Catcher Platoon and just let Bresnahan ruin all the baserunners for a while. Napoli shall be banished to the tower of adorable shame, where he will be set upon by all manner of fuzzy terrors.

Also, it should be noted that renowned Super League Wrestler/Bear Grizzly Jones is a Marmoset Supporter, and can often be found in the crude den he formed in the right field overlook.

And thus was it declared nap month, where the marmosets retreated to their various dens and holes, and the B-team descended upon the field.

Napoli goes in at Catcher
Bill Dahlen goes in at Shortstop
Bobby Abreu goes in at Left Field
Bench Sammy Strang goes in at Second Base

Dave Henderson goes down to AAA
Hughie Jennings goes to First Base

If its possible, just have them all do this for long enough to give my tired players the time they need to not be tired little moppets, but if its gotta be the whole month, whatever. wing my lineup too.

Marmosets start slowly, but I think it is fair to say that this week is an aberration. McGwire will not hit .070 for the season, Jered Weaver will not be shelled cosmically awfully all season. Small sample size abounds!

4. Chipper Jones at 3rd Base.
5. Bobby Abreu in RF.
6. Platoon Barry Bonds and Jose Canseco in Left, with Canseco against LHP.
7. Roberto Alomar at 2B.
8. Roger Bresnahan at Catcher still.
9. Mark McGwire gets a week at DH.

Hopefully Barry and Canseco use their days off to think about how they need to hit more loving home runs.
