FEMUR – 4
SHANE – 3

VOTED – Shane, UK, Stoke, Ritz, Femur, Milk, 500

 

[Shanemansj13]

I do think Femur's lineup is slightly better. I have his lineup winning 5-4 but I think my pitching rotation and bullpen wins this for me and is just too dominant 1-5 and a deep bullpen. I got myself barely in this one. Great team Femur, you built a great squad

 

[UK Cowboy]

I hate voting against Shane here, because he put together Hell of a squad, but he ran into an excellent team by Femur.
Fem

Shane

 

[Ritzarmy]

Shane has a nasty pitching rotation and I feel he could hold Femur great lineup just enough for the win.

 

[femurov]

I think these are 2 of the top 3 in this and it's a shame we have to go head to head in round 1. But, as always, I vote for me.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

Wow, in the post Nos ERA we are all voting heavily on pitching...

Shane has the significant better rotation, but his bullpen is amongst the worst in this draft... gonna hurt a pitching first team... especially against one of the better offenses in this mock...

Femur for the win...

My first 3 bullpen guys are better than his...am I missing something? lol

 

[Shanemansj13]

Actually his number 3 is better my bad

perranonski > myers

 

[MilkSpiller22]

didn't say it was worse than Femur's his is damn bad too... what my point is, is that if you want to be a pitch first team, you have to go all the way, don't half ass it with just your rotation... we are talking about elite lineups here, even the BEST rotations are going to be worse than their career numbers and likely have trouble going TOO deep into games

I thought I got a pretty good bullpen. Top 3-4 in this mock. Quissenberry, Myers and McGraw. I got two of the best lefty bullpen guys in this draft other than a couple closers. I feel like his lineup is a little better but my bullpen is still better.

 

[Nosferatu]

Close one but I got Femur

Myers is over-rated IMO, Quiz is good, but how much do you trust a reliever who doesn't strike players out?? especially as the teams BEST reliever...

 

[Ritzarmy]

Please sir refrain from voting. You would ask that for others not drafting.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Are we counting his votes? whoops I updated it with his votes lol

 

[Ritzarmy]

No we aren't counting his vote. He is always the boss but we wouldn't accept outside votes (people not drafting) so I don't feel we should count his. Sorry nos this in no slam at you in anyway. Just don't think this would be allowed in other drafts so shouldn't here either.

 

[Shanemansj13]

But my point is if his bullpen is worse and my rotation is much better. I don't think his lineup is that much better, so you are faulting me for a "bad" bullpen but his bullpen is worse. My bullpen will most likely have to work less...that's all I meant

Thats the thing, i don't think the offenses are close....
