We got demoted and started the first month 1-3. I had trouble moving the fences out, and left still keeps reverting to 375 no matter what I do. But I succeeded in making the stadium a nightmare for right handed power hitters, with left center at 420 and center at 418. It's still under 300 feet down the line to right though, so lefty pull hitters should do well there. I don't really have those but the team will morph over time.

Ichiro started poorly and I saw Hank Aaron at a price I could afford so I put him in place to see what happens. I probably should get a lefty pull hitter, obviously. I've got the Silver Rickey Henderson in left, Jim Edmonds in center and Bryce Harper in right, with Aaron DHing. I sent down Juan Gonzalez and Ichiro. Gonzalez had actually tied for the league lead among left fielders in the diamond league last season, but his WAR was strangely low. At first I wanted to go all fast-running on-base guys, but I'm hedging my bet by putting Aaron in there instead. If he doesn't work out, I can bring Ichiro or Juan Gone back up, or maybe try to get someone like Reggie Jackson. I also have Johnny Damon in my reserves-- I wonder if he wojuld pull cheapie home runs right down the right field line in this game the way he did when he played for the Yankees?

This season I will keep my eyes out for on base guys who can run and lefty pull hitters.

As for pitching, I really am wild-guessing, experimenting, and trying to learn. I have a knuckle baller, Wilbur Wood in there who did well for someone in the diamond league last week. He got bombed his first day, but he was among league leaders in innings pitched last week in a tougher league so I'm not going to bail on him yet. I got beat by Dallas Keuchel who I had in my reserves, so I brought him up, and he won for me! haha Monkey see, monkey do.

So last I looked, our record was at 2-3. Aaron Boone's dad Bob won it for me with a home run.
