1938 No Trade Team
A pair of 2-1 wins for the Kings and they are one win away from repeating. Former Cougar Mike Murphy takes on Jim Lonardo in game five in what has been a crazy pitching duel. Both teams have scored four runs once, the most so far in a game this series. I'd love a game seven, but a King win tomorrow means we start the offseason a day early! I'm working on something too, but who knows if it will happen or not.
Changing the name up a bit, because this flows a little better. Here is what we could have had if I never made trades:
Catchers
Fred Barrell (BRK): 61 OPS+, 3 HR, 52 RBI, 0.8 WAR
Harry Mead (CHC): 41 OPS+, 20 RBI, -0.1 WAR
Infielders
Ed Reyes (NYG): 57 OPS+, 5 RBI, -0.4 WAR
Billy Hunter (CHC): 103 OPS+, 7 HR, 65 RBI, SB, 2.3 WAR
Rabbit Forrest (PHI): 110 OPS+, 38 RBI, 3 SB, 2.3 WAR
Slim Bloom (-): -
Mack Deal (PHS): 80 OPS+, 2 HR, 36 RBI, 14 SB, 0.9 WAR
Red Moore (MON): 61 OPS+, 25 RBI, -0.1 WAR
John Lawson (NYS): 117 OPS+, 16 HR, 108 RBI, 4.1 WAR
Outfielders
Leo Mitchell (CHC): 125 OPS+, 12 HR, 80 RBI, 9 SB, 4.0 WAR
Vince York (CHI): -100 OPS+, -0.1 WAR
Roy Moore (CHC): 79 OPS+, 6 RBI, 0.3 WAR
Rich Langton (CHC): 121 OPS+, 10 HR, 63 RBI, 12 SB, 3.1 WAR
Bert Wilson (-): -
Carlos Montes (CHC): 94 OPS+, 10 HR, 40 RBI, 5 SB, 2.0 WAR
Pitchers
Dick Lyons (CHC): 20-6, 157 ERA+, 48 K, 5.7 WAR
Dean Astle (CLE): 17-15, 2 SV, 131 ERA+, 105 K, 6.9 WAR
Tom Barrell (BRK): 13-14, 97 ERA+, 129 K, 6.9 WAR
Mike Murphy (BRK): 15-7, 148 ERA+, 62 K, 4.5 WAR
Bill Ross (MON): 9-17, 96 ERA+, 82 K, 1.9 WAR

Phil English (TOR): 5-2, 14 SV, 129 ERA+, 23 K, 0.7 WAR
Pug Bryan (CHC): 4-9, 2 SV, 81 ERA+, 39 K, 1.0 WAR
Totals
Offense: 19.1 WAR
Pitching: 29.8 WAR
Adjusted Pitching: 25.4
Total: 44.5 WAR
Approximate Wins: 89
A much better season for the no trade team then the actual Cougars, but they still fall into a devastating second place finish one game out. Astle and Barrell carried a big chunk of the team WAR, and with a lot of players not playing anymore, we'll have a bunch of the younger Cougars join the team. We debuted a lot of rookies, and even gave up one of the Feds best rookies Dave Haight. I'm hoping next year is big for the Cougars, but I think this team will do extremely well regardless of us.
