Lead the AL in ERA? In Safeco, with Felix and Bedard and Pineda? Why not? That's a lot of high quality IP. I was merely looking for a winning season (and barely at that). You got me raising my sights, DaddyO. Not sure about coming in fourth in offense, but I think Ichiro and Figgins could do a decent Brock-Flood imitation, and the rest of the guys are no less scary than Dal Maxvill, Cepeda, Shannon, McCarver and a creaky Roger Maris. Remember we're talking '68 here. Not '64 or even '67. The Cards more resembled the 2003 Mariners in '68 than the 2001 brand. And actually, their offensive prowess was largely due to their ability to steal bases. Team OPS was .641, league average and 7th overall in a 10 team league. Or how about the '59 Go Go Sox: 1st in ERA and near last in offense (7th in OPS out of 8 teams).
