I was trying to get as many points as possible in one season by wining a world series with a very cheap roster made by arrange team. Even cheaper then the Marlins, I managed to find all 300-440 point players, most of them all-stars or future all-stars. I tried to pick 2 players per a position, with the exception of Third Base and Shortstop, of which the choice was clear and the pool of cheap high-quality prospects was definetly lacking. Here is the list I made:
C
Martin
Navarro

1B
Loney
Fielder

2B
Hill
Cano

3B
Ryan Zimmerman

SS
Hanley Ramirez

P
Ian Kennedy
Phil Hughes
Litch
Nick Blackburn
Scott Baker
Brian Bannister (Royals)
Gorzelany (Pirates)
Ian Snell
F Morales
Heath Bell
Hensley (Padres)
Meredith (Padres)
Bronxton


CREAM OF CROP:
Chamberlain
Felix Hernandez
Cole Hamles
K.Kendrick
Gallardo
Billingsley
Lincecum

Older/Slightly more expensive, but still cheap and good (better stuff then most on list):
Huston Street
Heilman
Matt Cain

Pretty good, but not great:
-Mcllelan (Cards)
- Taylor Bucholz

Of course, this roster is a bit of an overkill and really too good of a team. But if you just want to dominate and gain a boatload of points to play around with practice, try this.

You should just enter this into Apple's 100,000 point challenge.

Haha, maybe, I'm not around enough to get too involved in any of this. I was just trying Power Pros again for the first time in a few months, but I'm not really going to get too much into this site (I really spent too much time here last year haha, it's actually kind of scary. Over 1 game). But I'll check in every now and then, for Power Pros 09 or maybe more likely, 2010.

Can I use your roster in my 100,000 point challenge log? It would be great to have some more Arrange teams. Plus, you said it yourself, it's a good team, so it would make it more competitive.

If you would like to use it, can you post the lineups, uniforms, etc? Thanks man.
