I got the game recently on the Steam sale and I have been really having a ton of fun with shuffle drafts. I have made some terrible teams, but on this one I think I struck gold. Obviously, I added the Backyard Baseball kids, and Pablo Sanchez + Hammer Longballo is unstoppable. I'm hitting like 10 home runs a game, which is necessary because my defense is bad and my pitching is worse. It's a lot of fun.

Some notes:

Sally Dobbs having 1 contact is *really* bad. She has "Tough Out" and I wonder if it's most effective to always take until you're at 2 strikes with her. Her BABIP is just so bad with 1 contact.

Jorge Garcia has High Ball Hitter and he also is struggling to get hits. He has the lowest average on the team. And he hasn't gone yard after 4 games. I'm trading him as soon as the prices on free agents come down to market value.

I heard that Bad Ball Hitter is the best trait so I gave it to Pablo. It's pretty good, but I'm hitting more dingers with the guy that's got "Dingers" on his jersey. Go figure.

The team is at full disciplined chemistry, and it rules. Rip Dingers is actually the home run leader with Low Ball Hitter. Hammer Longballo has smashed so many fastballs over the fence. Cathy Culdesac also just got Fastball Hitter so the future of the team is looking bright.

Marsha Brown is an amazing player! I had her on a different team and she was easily the MVP on that one. She's one of the best on this team and she's obviously got a ton of competition.

The penalty for playing a player in a secondary position isn't killing me, but I do wish I had a real second baseman. I have a pitcher that hits the ball harder than Landon Fare.
