Obviously both teams are excellent.

I like both lineups quite a bit, I would give the edge slightly to Shane.

I think 500 has one of the better rotations in this draft aside from Satchel Paige, when doing these drafts you don't get ***** League Legend you get 180 MLB games Satchel, he wasn't even a starter when he got to the white league. Aside from this his rotation is still excellent and IMO still good enough to overcome what I think is a slight advantage for Shane in the lineup.

I got 500

Shane

I lean towards Shane a slight bit.

Shit this one is tough for me... I think I have to go with 500... his rotation is enough to give his offense the win...

 

[Ritzarmy]

Shane by a c#nt hair wins it

I give a slight edge to 500 in what is another great matchup. I like both these teams a lot. I thought Shane's lineup was lights out, but 500's is right there. 500 has a great rotation. I know I'm alone on this, but I can't pretend that Paige wasn't a great player. He wasn't allowed in the MLB until he was 41, and he still posted a 5 year ERA of 3.29. Then he comes back when he is 58 and pitches 3 scoreless innings lol. When we have a draft where if the guy played in 29, 69, 09, a 42 year old guy gets credit for what he did when he was younger. Paige did play in the MLB. He wasn't there in his Prime because he was Black. Fuck that.

I honestly had no idea how Paige would be perceived. I just thought as a 4th starter why not? With your opinion and Nos' I was right that they views would be all over.

Still need @MilkSpiller22 & @Shanemansj13


My opinion of Satch is he is a fucking legend but as far as his Major League service he wasn't great and he wasn't a starter.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I got me
