Owner: Lou P
Activity Level: High
Park Factor: Increase 1B, 2B, 3B and suppress HR
This was a fun, if not particularly good, team. Bludgeoning opponents with a solid offense playing in an extreme hitters park, Hathsin scored the most runs of any team in the resims at 871. Their starting offense averaged an .791 OPS with three different people scoring 100 runs. Further, three ‘new to ATB’ players were a success too – catcher Fred Carroll (.407 OBP), George Hall (see below), and Ed Swartwood (see below).
For all that, Lou had a terrible draft picking many of these players up too early at the expense of the pitching staff, ranked 3rd to last in the game. Hall played out of position with a 300 Error Rate and Lou then traded up for Charlie Gehringer of all people then played him out of position too. With this awful defense and the addition of a batters park, even proven greats like Walter Johnson (4.36 ERA) struggled.

Bust Draft Pick
Rd 6 – Cal Mcvey: .733 OPS in bandbox playing the deepest position in ATB, center field. He's not a bad player, and actually starter quality, but could have been had 10 rounds later.
Value Draft Pick
Rd 25 – Swartwood
