*On Deck - Significant off-season trades*

[Jeff1787]

Real life stuff - Noodles Hahn won 22 games for the last place Cincinnati Reds in 1901 and had 41 complete games, a 20th century record for a left-handed pitcher, while striking out 239 batters. Hahn was consistently one of the best pitchers in the league from 1899-04 for the Reds, at a time when they never finished higher than third. Hahn's arm burned out at the relatively young age of 27.

Hahn fared much better in MLB Modified!!
