Femur. Finally a team that can compete against Nos's Bonds non HOFer pick. Feel Femur can win this series but it would be extremely close. Femur's non hall of fame picks are amazing.

I wasn't intending to really have a platoon like the way it is set. I would not be sitting Kaline and Thome. I was just planning on having bench players. It is very misleading the way it is listed and I hope that nobody thinks that I would sit 2 HoFers and holds that against me while voting.

 

[femurov]

I vote for me, by the way.

 

[blstoker]

Now.

 

[UK Cowboy]

Nos

 

[blstoker]

Stupid auto correct, that's supposed to be Nos. Stupid Ipad.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I got Femur in a close one. I think these are both some of the best teams in this draft.

Fixed so whoever has yet to vote wont see the platoon.

 

[Nosferatu]

His 1-4 hitters struck out 7,886 times and hit 1,636 home runs
My 1-4 hitters struck out 6,044 times and hit 1,793 home runs

Thats quite a big difference.

We both have pretty good up the middle defense.

I think my rotation 1-3 is better but he's better at 4 & 5

His bullpen is better especially at the end of the game obviously!

Despite me having much more power and slightly better defense I have to lean Femur here I like Clemente and Kaline quite a bit and he has a solid rotation I missed a couple picks that would have made my rotation a little more solid.

I felt the same way, I thought it would really come down to how well Killer and McCovey hit with Raines on and Bonds walked. There are some strikeouts there, but also some power, and I didn't see the big strikeout pitchers for Femur except at the top. A close matchup for sure, always good to see a guy vote against himself when he believes he didn't have the stronger squad

 

[Pack 500]

I really enjoy both these teams. Slight lean to Nos

 

[Mebert]

Nos

 

[MilkSpiller22]

this is tough... really tough... Nos' bullpen is his weakness... and it is a pretty big weakness for this mock... Nos certainly has the better offense, but femur's offense is very good, and that pitching difference is bigger than the offensive difference...

Femur wins 3-2 in pitcher matchup... and femur's bullpen makes that even bigger...

Femur with a close win...

I got Fem in 7... I like his BP to clean up close games... sorry for the delay, opening night... we won 10-4...
