20 Resims Summary - #9, Helena Handbasket

#9 – Helena Handbasket
Owner: Joe T
Activity Level: High
Park Factor: Increase 1B, 2B, 3B heavily suppress HR


Two things immediately come to mind when reviewing Helana’s data. The first is Robbie Alomar in Round 4! C’mon Joe T, you know better! With such a poor offense, Alomar really hindered the Handbasket’s this year. His defense was very good, not great, and a .615 OPS in a Top-5 round hurts, especially since he went with Ozzie Smith in Rd 9.

The second is the win disparity between the regular season and resims. With 95 wins in ATB XIII, Joe was the third ranked team and a division winner. He made weekly lineup changes and multiple Free Agent moves and should be credited for his managerial skills, this team shined under his soft hands.

Helena made the playoffs 9 teams and had our best single season yet – a 97 win, +118 run differential in resim #6.
