Team Breakdowns:

AL Pre Americans

Offense
An offensive team that can hit home runs in any park - including Yellowstone. Power, Power, and more Power with a heart of the order that will feature Ruth, Gehrig, and DiMaggio. This team is so good offensively that powerhouse hitters like Greenberg and Averill won't break the normal starting lineup.

Pitching
Grove is good at the top of the rotation, he'll win his share of games, but the other 7 pitchers are very beatable - it will just be a matter of outscoring the offense.

Starting Lineup
2B - Gehringer
LF - Simmons
RF - Ruth
1B - Gehrig
CF - DiMaggio
C - Dickey
SS - Cronin
3b - Lazzeri

Rotation
Grove
Lyons
Gomez
Mays
Hoyt

Closer
Coveleski

Summary
This team can beat anyone on any day, and if they make it to the World Series will be extremely dangerous in a short series. However, the lack of front line pitching will cost them in the end. They will unable to string together long winning streaks and will come up just short of winning the division.

Prediction: 85 - 69
