Voted - Nos, Milk, Stoke, Mebert, UK

i got WLK here... I don't think Nos' offense is good in a old time stadium while WLK will just put in Thome and have an offense that rivals Nos' pretty evenly...

Nos' does have the better rotation, but like i said in the previous round i am not in love with his stadium choice for his pitchers...

i got WLK in 6

If we had stopped the draft and voted after round 10 or 11 I probably would voted for WLK but I belive I finished out my team a bit better.

I really like WLK's team as he is strong in both rotation and lineup and he has Mariano but I believe I am strong in both lineup especially if you go all the way from 1-9 and my rotation is slightly better especially at 4 and 5.

I also believe I have a much better bench. As I said in my first round matchup some of my power will sit for speed in Boston, I have excellent base running and speed on the bench.

I love this series but I got Christy beating Pedro in game 7

I got great speed on the bench man, Reggie will only play at Coors and as a pinch hitter, My guys don't just hit 360 foot home runs they hit 460 foot home runs.

Great teams no doubt, both clubs have huge strengths, WLK's bullpen is the deciding factor. WLK's best team ever

WLK in 7

No, but in old time stadiums, defense and speed is just as important as offense... I just think your defense is too weak...

Also, i think in an old time stadium, having a very deep OF is very important...

Why I oughtta!

 

[wlk3]

I got me... i think the my defense and speed makes up the difference... And as Milk pointed out Thome would get the nod in the away games... Also I'd planned on Starting Kaat game 1 Pedro 3 and 6 and Unit 2 and 7..

I got me in 7
