Rob did a call for ideas and from the great suggestions, he selected a Sub-500 theme. Your APBA team must have a sub .500 winning record. As a Twins fan I had many fine teams to pick from. I debated an 80s or 90s team, but I am managing the 1988 Twins in the TCABT in Minneapolis in November, so I selected the great 1964 Minnesota Twins!
The 1964 Twins went 79-83.
These Twins can HIT!
Tony Oliva: .323/.359/.557 with 32 HRs
Harmon Killebrew: .270/.377/.548 49HRs
Bobby Allison .287/.404/.553 32 HRs
Jimmy Hall .282/.338/.480 25HRs
Rich Rollins .270/.334/.406
Early Battey .272/.348/.407
And, they can pitch a bit too:
Jim Kaat B-yz
Camilo Pascual B-x
Mudcat Grant C-z
Dick Stigman D-xz
Pen:
Al Worthington A*xz
Jim Perry B*xz
John Klippstein B*yz
Now let's get back to earth for a moment, they must have a weakness! Fielding. I will have a fielding 3 team no matter what tricks I pull or who is throwing.
Mincher is killing me at 1B, a fielding 2.
Rollins at 3B is a 3.
Allen at 2B is a 7
The above combined with a fast but three 2s in the OF gets me to a solid 34 without my pitcher.
Clank, clank, clank, iron hands in the field.
