Old Timers

Offense
Consistent contact and some aggressive baserunning. This team will put the ball in play with players like King Kelly, Ed Delehante and Cap Anson. A similar type of team and style of play to the Dead Ballers, but their depth isn't as good.

Pitching
Pitching for this team is good, but not outstanding. All of the pitchers in this rotation have a chance to win every time out, but none are completely unhittable for any extended period of time.

Starting Lineup
CF - Hamilton
3b - Kelly
LF - Delehante
RF - Thompson
1b - Anson
2b - McPhee
C - Ewing

Rotation
Clarkson
Keefe
Welch
Radbourn
Galvin

Closer
Spalding

Summary
This team will drive others nuts. They will get hits left and right, frustrate opposing pitchers because they won't be able to get the outs they need to end an inning. They'll take an extra base, and completely wear out their opponents. However, because they lack power, they will have to piece together mutli-hit innings to score, and they'll be able to do it, but not enough to win consistently.

Prediction: 74 - 80
