In the following days we'll roll out the Re-sim Power Alley countdown to the best team in the league, as judged by 20 the resims. This by no means overshadows the regular season - the ATB Champion is and always will be the best team of the season. However, it is fun to know whether your team was a fluke success or an unexpected failure through dumb luck.
I ran 20 regular season sims and compiled the data to compare teams. Owners had the ability to submit a resim specific lineup and all injuries were turned off.
To make it fair for the playoff teams, I first compiled team level data only (standings, total runs scored, total batting and pitching averages) which was used for the Power Alley rankings. To avoid a conflict of interest, the data is next compiled team by team staring with the lowest ranked. This is to avoid an unfair advantage of seeing or publishing lineup and rotation data for the playoff contenders. Let the countdown...begin!
#19 - Sons of Pitches
Owner: John W
Our 19th ranked team fared little better than the 20th ranked Brews. While the Pitches had about an average offense (.723 OPS) they truly struggled with their pitching staff. Their team 4.97 ERA was second worst in ATB, and their #2 draft pick Hal Newhouser was a complete bust. Overall, they had six 100-loss seasons and never had a positive run differential.Their best record was 74-88, a mark they reached three times.
800 OPS Batters
None, though Al Simmons did have 24 HR and 113 RBI, and Mike Piazza (.292 / .340 / .424) was one of the best cathcers in the league.
Sub 4.00 ERA Starters
None
Sub 3.25 ERA Relievers
Eric Gagne - Rd 8: 2.65 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, 56 IP
Bust Draft Pick
Hal Newhouser - Rd 2: 8-15, 5.68 ERA, 1.67 WHIP
Value Draft Pick
David Ortiz - Rd 21: .262 / .370 / .396, 559 AB
