One of the best teams of all time?

[KingxX]

Jesus Christ.... Look at the team I have assembled



My catcher, he has 20 power potential. Hasn't reached it yet.



My first baseman, he's in the declining stages of his career. Still good vs LHP



My 2B, a solid all around player. Lacking a good eye, though.



My 3B, also an all around solid player. Signed him in free agency for $12million



My SS, a good contact hitter. Not much power, but that's no problem.



My LF. I signed him in free agency for $12 million as well. Incredible talent.



My CF. A solid all around player, once again.



RF....A stud.

Starting Pitching:











My bullpen is solid, but you are just going to have to take my word for it haha.

What do you all think of my team?

Wow! Let us know how your team does!

Last years team:




Lost out in the playoffs. $170 million payroll by the way.

Additions this offseason...

Not an addition, but he grew as a player.



An upgrade over my previous first baseman. He wanted too much money so I had to let him walk, he ended up signing a 5 year 20 million per contact. As a declining 1B, I couldn't take on that contract.



A good starting pitcher on a cheap contract.

My team is even better this year than it was last year, I am excited!

123 wins and no championship. When I play, my championships happen when I scrape my division or wild card by 1 or 2 games, and then I take every series to the max. My record for wins is 115 I think, and when that happened, we got swept in the first round (like my own Phils in 2011, I guess).

Wow. Even the logo color is blue-green. Watch those contracts and extension demands.

Thanks for sharing.

An extremely good team, not the best ever though. 123 wins is extremely good, but tell me when u get 130 and sweep through the post season. 132 wins is my record. Your Ace is weak to be considered best all time team, but that could be a product of your league more than anything, and no doubt he's a top 3 pitcher in your league.


BTW, I would be interested to see their defensive abilities as well. That's a major part of it.

I'm a few seasons ahead of that season now, but my defense ranked first in the league. I had a 138 win season in 2012, although that was a lot of luck involved.

Here's my best season by wins: 135-27 regular season record + championship. Season score: 1347 (out of 1000??). "Rock Star" status!

Note the team ERA is 2.08!!

Wow! Congratulations! My best season score is 1347 on a 135 win team that won the world series. To be honest, I haven't the faintest idea how that is calculated. It's rather mysterious, taking a lot more into account than wins, etc. I suspect that improving over the previous year and exceeding expectations add to the score, as well, but I'm not sure.
