500 - 4
WLK - 3

Voted - Stoke, 500, WLK, Mebert, Milk, Nos, UK

WLK

 

[wlk3]

I got me because I'm the home team with better D and more speed...

 

[Pack 500]

WLK has a great team but I'm going to hsve to vote for me. Best baseball team I've ever drafted in my mind. Perfect for Fenway with the righty power and righty pitching. I think the difference is my starting rotation depth and my lineup just a touch stronger in the middle. This one should be very close.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

rotation= slight win for pack
Bullpen= win for WLK not very close
Old time lineup-WLK wins
modern lineup- very close but got to give it to WLK


I love WLKs team... Gehringer hitting 9th is what really does it for me...

WLK wins in 6

 

[Mebert]

500

 

[wlk3]

I think my bullpen carries me to the finish... IMO I have the better pitching... I also would start *Hack and Thome vs your righties away instead of Santo and Manny...

It would be

3. Jr
4. Thome
5. Mccovey

*It would be a game time decision...

 

[Nosferatu]

Really like both rotations but no real advantage, the lineups are where 500 wins this one.

Another instance of the two best teams in the finals though, great job fellas.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

Maybe Manny at DH and Thome at 3rd away... I'd love the extra power...

stop talking, you might lose some votes!!!

 

[MilkSpiller22]

but what i would do is put manny in RF at fenway and bench Kaline...

 

[wlk3]

but what i would do is put manny in RF at fenway and bench Kaline...

Yeah that's what I meant...

 

[wlk3]

Please disregard my roster moves in this thread and direct all lineups with our manager Milk... Thank you

 

[UK Cowboy]

Best baseball club WLK has ever had, unfortunately, 500's best too. I've thought 500 would win all along, WLK is nearly as good

So yer voting for??? lol

 

[Nosferatu]

I'm gonna assume UK is voting for 500, we need Femur...

 

[femurov]

I like WLK in this one. His bullpen gives him a slight edge.

 

[Nosferatu]

So, do we let EHB decide this?
