I'm playing the 39 Yankees (and in this universe, Gehrig doesn't have his disease, and is having a decent year, although I think he's slowing down), and I end up with this trade offer from the computer in early June:

NY gives up:

Lou Gehrig (35) (291/12/38/+19.2)
Johnny Murphy (30) (8 games/11 innings/4-2/2 sv/8.18 ERA)

Bos gives up:

Ted Williams (20) (377/9/39/+32.8)

Although the fans are going to lynch me, I think that's a steal of a trade.

Even if I'm not sure how to play him, as Charlie Keller's hitting 372 and George Selkirk is hitting 374...I think one of them will move to 1st base.

Yes, I have Babe the lesser, but he's pretty much worthless.

Who gets lynched more--the Boston GM or me? I know there was talk of trading DiMag for Williams in 1946 irl, but for a washed-up Gehrig and a closer with an ERA of 8?
