My computer baseball league LA team now has the following top 5 batting order:

Mookie Betts, SS; Shohei Ohtani, RF, Mike Trout, CF, Matt Holliday, LF, and Pedro Guerrero, 1B.

I'd match those guys against Murderer's Row any day.

1. Damn. I live in Wisconsin so a Brewers fan.

If the Brewers can get through the wild card round they would end up playing the Phillies. If they somehow get through that it would probably be the Dodgers next and looking at that lineup it would be a miracle to make it to the World Series, And then, oh yeah, probably the Yankees.

2. As my father would say...Rank Amateurs.

If they were never on the BROOKLYN DODGERS team, then they never deserved to be called a Dodger.

He was "slightly" prejudiced and annoyed when the moved to CA,

3. I agree. :)

In my league, there are the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Los Angeles Angels. The latter get the guys who played most of their time for LA. In either league. That disadvantages Brooklyn vis-a-vis most of the league, because the rosters are "Franchise All-Stars," and Brooklyn's franchise is losing 60 years worth of ballplayers. (New York in the same situation -- I have the Giants and the San Francisco Seals, and no DiMaggios on the latter). OTOH, the Angels and Seals lose anybody who played before c 1958.

Accordingly, I let some teams draw from the pool of Negro League stars or other franchise greats whose team did not make it into my 24-team league. And although KC is still called the Royals, most of their lineup is Monarchs.

It was one way to let both Steve Garvey and Gil Hodges play 1b, but this year Guerrero has out-hit Garvey by a bunch.
