500 - 2
UK - 3

VOTED - 500, UK, Milk, Femur, Shane

 

[Pack 500]

More overall balance for me. I think I did a little better building the bottom of my lineups, don't see much after the 5 spots for U.K. and I have 3 pitchers that can match UK's. 500

 

[UK Cowboy]

I like my starting pitching 1-3 close, 4-7 not, bullpen, and vs righty lineup more. I think 500 has a little better vs lefty. I think I'd win a good Series

UK

 

[MilkSpiller22]

I got 500... I made a rule a while ago in drafts... when its close vote against the owner that made the most unfair trades in mock history... so 500 wins...

 

[femurov]

I like uK

 

[Shanemansj13]

Overall I think 500 has more offense but his bullpen is his weakest point. What determines this is UK picking up all these great SP's on his way to the championship. I think it is just too much to overcome. 4 top 10 SP's of all-time arguably.

Sandy Koufax - Greg Maddux
Roger Clemens -Clayton Kershaw
Randy Johnson - Pedro Martinez
Steve Carlton - Jerry Koosman

I got UK.

Silly me...I just vote for who I think has the better team

How dare you?!

cant do that... I am all about ethics here... as I am full of it

How dare you?!

I may start making an exception...like I will never vote for any player who suggests we have a tennis-golf draft, where the tennis players use golf clubs, the golfers use tennis rackets, and the winner is decided by who has the low handicap divided by their tennis ranking multiplied by the WAR of left handed left fielders who played in the steroid era....

You forgot OBP

After much consideration I have to lean UK here, I like 500's lineups but that rotation for UK is the best in the history of our drafts, I think who UK played prior to the Championships won it for him, his team was good enough to get by two pretty good teams and he reaped the reward more than 500 was able to, I also think that was due to spending some big money on starters it allowed him to steal better starters for about the same cost, 500 had too many starters who were $2 - $3 and he wasn't able to turn those into better players.

Two great teams, congrats UK!

I agree with this entire post. I thought we were really close when we were 1-2 picking and playing each other, but I benefited from a good trade and using the steals, or 500 would have won. I won't cheat, but if there is a viable way to improve my team, I'm taking it. Great job 500

 

[MilkSpiller22]

Honestly, I was half joking... But I don't ONLY pick who I think has the better team... I vote on who had the better draft... sometimes, there are not the same, especially in this draft with the unfair stealing... Cant punish 500 too much for not having the better players to steal..

Yeah that rotation just kept getting better. I still think UK was a top team, but maybe things played out differently if we didn't get some steals per win. Either way both these guys had great teams

Congrats on Championship #14 buddy

While a better draft is great it still doesn't matter if you have a great draft but not the better players and team.

That's your right, but I do think it's total BS, whether you are not voting for me or anyone else. If trading and steals are included in the draft, they are legal, and if you don't vote within that framework, it's basically cheating IMO

#2 overall and only need to win every other mock this year to catch you
Gotcha in baseball though...I'm feeling a goofy strategy and last place finish coming in football....
