And he terrorizes diamond cap formats. While Ichiro is more split-proof, that kind of batting average in DL would be a high roll for him and that high an OBP is unthinkable.

Judging by the looks of your team, you're close to the point where even with a lefty team you get diminishing returns for upgrading your lefty bats. Aside from the last couple lefties to round out your lineup like Pop (as dboeyr mentioned) or Roger Connor for 1B, I would recommend investing in some right-handed backups. FotF Kaline is a fine RH platoon guy at any outfield position but his defensive abilities are best used in CF or RF, FotF Campy behind the plate, and FotF Ripken can platoon at any IF position (but on your team I'd say you need him most at 2B).

As for pitching, you can definitely stack up LH in the rotation as daves said. Price, HL Spahn, Sale, Pettitte... there are tons of options. Just look for ratings similar to Plank's and Bumgarner's.
If you do end up going 5 LHSP, don't be afraid to also stack RHP in the bullpen. Maddux and Hoyt should be serviceable there, and the CWS trio-- Foulke, Jenks, Howry-- are budget champions (just try to prevent the AI from throwing them into high-leverage situations). Bullpen luxuries would include FotF Feller, Bobby Mathews, and Ruffing.

Awesome feedback. I have Ichiro as a 4th outfielder, who's serviceable at all 3 spots. I'd like to get Ashburn again eventually but couldn't justify the expense as a 4th outfielder. I'm gonna give Musial some run and if his glove is decent, I really like his bat. Time will tell. I'd love to have Price in the rotation and will eventually move Maddux to the pen. I have been planning to pick up at least one of the White Sox trio you mentioned. I also looked at Pop for SS but he was going for at least 135k and is really bad vL. I am considering just getting FotF Robin Yount for vL and giving him some starts over Pesky vR to see how he does. I also like the suggestion of Kaline as he has been really good on my other two teams. I'll look into Ripken as well.
