Wash Teal didn't have a great season, but hopefully he'll be at his best in the clutch. I wonder if he's related to the Chicago 2B?

I'm assuming you're using a modified name set to get all those great early 20th century names. They really give your dynasty an authentic flavor.

I'll be looking forward to seeing the Reds close this thing out.
Chicago had a hell of a year, but Reading will be a tough squad to face off against. The Columbia League in general is a bit weaker, as their squads are mostly built from United League bench/fringe players. Over the next 4-5 years they will even out, but the United League does have a bit of an edge.

I certainly am using a modified name set. It definitely allows me to immerse myself in the universe.

Teal did have a down year, for sure. The big selling point of this series, to me, is Whitey Upchurch against Owen Chaney. Both guys had great seasons on the mound. Chicago doesn't have the pitching depth though, as their #3 and #4 guys spent a good amount of time in the developmental league this season.
