Diamond 350 --- A league of extremes
I would have to say that this league has the greatest spread of talent of any that I have yet seen. We have a mega-whale, a few ordinary whales, all the way down to an all-iron team (named, appropriately enough, Unsung Iron Heroes).
The Mega-whale is the Bronx bombers. They have the peak card of all the most famous baseball players ever. Starting at catcher is peak Johnny Bench. Going around the infield, we have peak Lou Gehrig at 1B, Peak Jackie Robinson at 2B, Peak Honus Wagner at SS, Peak George Brett at 3B. In the outfield it is peak Joe Dimaggio, peak Mickey Mantle, and, of course, peak Babe Ruth. The starting rotation include peak Greg Maddux, peak Roger Clemens, peak Randy Johnson, and peak Waite Hoyt.
Even their reserve roster is stocked with about 30 diamond players. After 20 games, their record is 18-2 and they have outscored their opposition by an average of five runs per game. They are first in the league in runs scored, runs allowed, and just about everything else, too.
The whales are doing well, but not as well as the mega-whale.
At the other end of the spectrum, as noted with a record of 1-20, is the Unsung Iron Heroes. They have given up 7.5 runs more per game than they have gotten. They are the first team I have EVER seen on the weekly power rankings to get a negative value!
Looking at the dispersion of talent, I don't expect any Our League teams are in danger of either being promoted or relegated this season.
