Plus, Ichiro can slot in for Fred Clarke in the final inning of close games and when Clarke is tired, which is probably worth another 10 runs or so on defense. My team is constructed on a razor's edge- I usually only have a run differential of +100-150, so defense helps a lot. I ended up winning 91 games this year, but I don't think MaGee lost me the season because I ended up 6 games short. I was hoping Magee's offense would be closer to something like King Kelly's, but somehow he only had 15 doubles?
Maybe I shouldn't have put Olerud in front of him...I suppose I could bring back special edition Rickey Henderson and have Henderson, Kelly, and Magee as top 3 with Rickey playing right field, Kelly at catcher, and Magee as DH. That would be interesting. Not sure I want to endure Kelly at catcher when I have 1999 Pudge though.
Might as well try it and see what happens.

Yeah, in a primarily defense-based team, SE McCutcheon is probably the way to go. His offense vs LHP should be similar to Magee but not so much offense against RHP. Who's your current DH? For the record, when I played Magee I either played him at LF or DH.
