Your coming up on one of my favorite eras, so it should be really fun to see how it all pans out. DiMaggio, Mize, and coming soon Ted Williams and Stan Musial. I'm looking forward to it.  |
Crawford will have a good shot, because (1) he's still the #1 starter for the Orioles and (2) his skills have remained almost completely intact. In his prime, Mike's Stuff-Movement-Control line was 4-19-17. He opens the 1936 season at 4-18-17, which is where he has been since 1932.
I don't use recalc, so there's always a chance that a real-life star will fall well short of his actual performance. DiMaggio and Mize are certainly off to good starts, however. Teddy Ballgame will appear in the June 1938 draft class, and Stan the Man will arrive in June 1940. Both will debut at age nineteen.
