Well, now we're in playoff contention. We're 2 games out of the WC right now even though we're tied for 15th in the promotion standings. We have a +4 Pyt so that's not helping. Where is bad luck when you need it?

My long term goal is to have a team with lots of power that also draws walks a lot and with some high contact guys as well. Strikeouts should be prevalent on both sides of the ball as well. I'll adjust park factors next season to max out hitting and keep my defense awful. I'm curious about how well we can do with a team like this. Even in solo play, I've always had at least a decent defense so it's weird having a team with awful defense.

Right now, I have 7 guys on my roster that have power ratings (vs RH) in the range of 82-89 and I have 4 guys with contact ratings (vs RH) of 85-90 so I figure those ratings should do pretty well all the way up to diamond. So my main thing to work on now is pitching. But I'm not going to worry about getting mostly guys with high movement this time around so it will be interesting to see how that works out.
