VOTED = UK, Milk, Nos, 500, Ritz, Smitty

 

[UK Cowboy]

I love Steve's pitching staff, in fact, if the lineups were a little closer, his first 3 starters would probably have the edge IMO, but Nos' starting pitching would be able to hold down Steve's lineup, while Steve's pitching, as strong as it is, could only hild down Nos' great lineup for so long

I vote for steve because i like the way he set up his offense better... Nos, might have the best 3-4-5 but i don't like his 1-2 at all...

Wilson isn't Rickey Henderson, but he was a pretty darn good leadoff man IMO. You don't like Clemente at 2?

 

[MilkSpiller22]

Hate Clemente as the #2 hitter. OBP of only .359 and strikes out way too much. Had seasons of over 100 strike outs!!! Hard to move your batter up if u strike out so much. For the top 2 spots the most important stat is OBP. And Wilson and Clemente are just not there for a league like this.

Not a prototype 2 for sure, but he adds plus pop and speed

But with Stan the man and babe coming up next is plus pop really a plus???

Lazzeri at 2 and Clemente at 6 might have worked better, but still a handful

 

[Nosferatu]

Actually if I advance Sewell will move to the 2 spot.

I love Steve's rotation but as I have always said hitting wins in these.

Yea, when you were talking about the strike outs, i was shocked you did not put sewell at the 2 spot... But i had to penalize you for what i thought was bad formation of lineup...

I agree, I didn't put enough thought into it and accept the penalty.

 

[Pack 500]

Nos

 

[Ritzarmy]

Nos's team by a few runs. I like Nos's lineup and rotation better but I don't think it would be a total blowout. I had these 2 teams close in my rankings scoring.

Steve

 

[steveringo]

I'll vote for my team... Love my rotation vs any line up. And my speed at the top of my order is crazy...

And I have more red sox!

Hard to argue against that...

 

[Shanemansj13]

Nos but barely I love Steve's rotation

 

[Nosferatu]

I guess I win... Sorry Steve I didn't think I would beat that rotation...

Good game....

I was actually surprised at the players available for my picks.... As is evident by my bench and pen, I didn't have any strategy or real research for this one....
