Tom and Josh decided to change things up and have a bit of fun this week drafting squads of position players based on the sort of MLB legends who appealed to retired MLB manager Whitey Herzog -- teams full of players that ran well, defended well and got on base. Then we ran a totally realistic simulation of our lineups in a seven game series against mediocre MLB journeyman Darren Oliver and famous MLB bust Todd Van Popple and forgot to track stolen bases until midway through the series.
Notes: Tom's dog Dalton makes a few cameo appearances in the background. He's such a good boy.
We used WhatIfSports to run the simulation: https://www.whatifsports.com/locker/
