in a progressive?I am almost done with the draft and was looking at my team defense and I cannot believe there have been many teams better in over all D ratings in a progressive. 2005

C A/A/A+
1B A/C+
2B A-/B-
3B B+/A
SS B-/A-
LF A/A-
CF A/A+
RF platoon y is C+/B- righty A+/D+

C+ is lowest fielding and B- lowest range except 1B. I think this is very hard to do in a progressive.

Looks pretty damn good. Must not be many Brewers on there.

My current Boston Tea Party progressive team just had an infield that put up 88+ plays and only 3 minus plays. Unfortunately the SS was the '37 Rabbit Warstler who accounted for 64 errors all by himself.
The other infielders were
'75 Grich
'37 Rolfe
'37 Greenberg

my Portland Sea Dogs team is like that

SS Pesky 740pa B/B- 339/401/436
LF Sizemore 706pa A/A- 286/347/462
DH Williams 696pa D+/C- 339/435/581
3B Boggs 685pa C/A- 359/445/477
RF Speaker 651pa B-/A+ 319/376/483
CF Lynn 566pa B/A+ 317/372/479
1B Yaz 728pa 300/364/463 … C-/B at OF, unrated at 1B
C Hargrave 277pa C+/D/B+ 300/360/501 and Fisk 558pa C/A-/A+ 248/309/441
2B Pedroia 581pa A/B- 313/375/422

bench
2B Doerr 642pa C/C+ 279/348/381
4OF Smith 632pa B/A+ 282/359/453
1B Joyner 674pa C/C 291/348/444
5OF Dom 724pa C-/A 280/378/404

Unfortunately my deadball pitchers have caused Pesky to make a crapload of errors, but they still have 82 + plays.

now in a non-progressive the best defensive team ever might be my team from biglenr's fielding test league... they just won the world series.

they had 212 + plays, 7 - plays and 87 errors despite having an all pre-1920 pitching staff.

2B Tony Phillips 91... 20+/0-/2e
LF Billy North 73... 26+/0-/13e
RF Darin Erstad 02 ... 26+/0-/1e
1B Lee Magee 14... 28+/0-/1e
3B Brooks Robinson 74... 28+/0-/16e
SS Troy Tulowitzki 07... 40+/0-/17e
CF Mike Griffin 91 ... 38+/0-/13e

I once fielded a Strat team of all 1 range guys, though Billy Ripken was the 2b in that bunch. He was not my everyday 2b, but a bench player.

Do Catchers with A+ range get + plays yet?

I wonderjfranco77, what the salary cap was in that league, and what ball park you played in?

fenway.

uncapped progressive (genemock's rico carty progressive, a great league) where my team is comprised of mostly players who debuted with the red sox

Well, this squad of mine is from a dual prog (1976/2006), but bonkers all the same:





76/06

C-LIEBERTHAL-B/A+/A+ (PLATOON)

C-LOPEZ-A/A/D-

1B-MORNEAU-B/C

2B-BARFIELD-B+/B-

SS-FURCAL-C+/A+

3B-CREDE-A/A

LF-GRANDERSON-A/A

CF-CAMERON-B/A+

RF-SORIANO-D+/B





77/07

C-OTT-C/B/A+ (PLATOON)

C-SALTALAMACCHIA-B/A-/D-

1B-MORNEAU-A-/B-

2B-BUMP WILLS-B/A

SS-FURCAL-B/A

3B-THERIOT-B+/D-

LF-CAMERON-B/A-

CF-GRANDERSON-B+/A+

RF-SORIANO-C+/B

My War of the Themes League had 2 teams who were lumbered with something similar to biglenr's fielding test league. Amongst other restrictions, all the batters had to be pre-1919 and be B/B or better fielders. All the pitchers were post-1979.

Team A went 136+/2-/95 errors
Team B went 111+/5-/118 errors
