So if you want to tank without tanking, run this lineup:
DH: Pete Rose/Hank Greenberg
2B: Joe Morgan/Jackie Robinson
CF: Joe DiMaggio
SS: Arky Vaughan/Jack Glasscock
LF: Carl Yastrzemski/Pete Rose
1B: Mark McGwire
RF: Bryce Harper (mission reward)/Al Kaline
3B: Mike Schmidt
C: Josh Gibson/Del Crandall
HRs cranked up to 1.100, wind blowing out to center. Doubles/triples at .925.
If I don't lead the league in HRs I will be very disappointed. Strangely enough my road pitching has been the biggest factor in my woes to start the season. I'm 10-8 at home and 3-11 on the road, 7th in runs scored but 11th in runs against. Starters are Rixey, Smoltz, Felix Hernandez, Matt Harvey and Gaylord Perry (groundballer emphasis for obvious reasons).
Probably a one season experiment but it's fun to try something new.

you probably will lead the league in home runs, however will probably lead the league in Strike outs too, 3k's is an inning, so yeah in the long run a few home runs but if you have all HR hitters, how much ERA does single HR's get ya, you have to mix up, if you have bases loaded and smack one then thats 4 runs... but if your striking out 3 out of 4 at bats, with 1 home run a game if thats all your scoring isn't better just to get guys hitting and rounding the bases? Home Runs are always better with others already on base, All home run guys will rarely get you high scoring games unless you have some OBP guys ahead of them...
