Through 81 games, the team has 103 + plays, only 3 - plays (all by pitchers) and has committed only 58 errors. So far, we're 48-33 and in 1st place in the division. I'm surprised that the team has been this solid so far at a $120M cap. Our pythagorean W-L pct. is .587 compared to .593 actual.

'96 I. Rodriguez has thrown out 11 of the 22 runners who have attempted to steal and hasn't committed a passed ball so far.
Despite playing at Hilltop, we're 13th out of 16 teams in runs scored and 14th out of 16 in OPS. The team leads the league in WHIP so far at 1.13 and has allowed .243/.286/.329. The staff is last in the league in Ks with 201, a full K per game behind the 15th ranked staff.
I used a version of this lineup in The Arms Race league with a cap $20M lower. '34 Terry, '21 Carey, and '81 Dawson replaced Speaker, Erstad, and Cameron. We'll see how it goes.
