Dang... I really wish the Babe would develope as the team would be just lethal. He was a devastating pitcher in 1916 (league leader in ERA, ERA+, SHO, and GS, 3rd in W, IP and K), and remained a very good pitcher in 1917. In 1917 he started to flash that he could really, really, really hit - .325/.385/.472 largely as a pitcher.
It's a bit sad not to see Babe out there in 1915-17 in seasons where he went a combined 65-33 before turning it on as a hitter in 1918 and forcing them to find a way to get his bat in the lineup more often.
