Hate voting against Mebert but I gotta go Milk...

 

[MilkSpiller22]

at the time, I laughed at mebert for drafting Posey so early... Then I thought about it, and changed my tune so much that I panicked and traded up to get victor Martinez... so screw you Mebert...LOL...

I just think Mebert's rotation is too weak... and for that reason I got my team to win...

 

[Mebert]

My rotation is not the best, but it's is not as terrible add it has been made out to be I think. I like my bats a lot more too. I have me in a closet one.

 

[jeffro151]

Mebert.

Milk does have the better pitching, but Mebert's lineup is much better than Milk's.

 

[Nosferatu]

WOW, this one is tough...

I dont really like 3 lefties in the pen but neither pen is great both are solid. I don't think either bench is great, I guess I like Milk's bench a little better. Milk does have a slightly better rotation but honestly not by much, I really like both lineups as well but Meberts is better IMO.

I gotta lean Mebert.

 

[broncosmitty]

Meberts top of the order is off to the races once they get on base. And they should fair well doing it against VMart.

I like the way milk put together his bullpen with his rotation. But I'm voting Mebert.

Milk

 

[Pack 500]

Lineups are a wash. Pitching leans me slightly to Milk

I wasn't expecting your vote since you have consistently voted for offense over pitching, but just questioning how his rotation is close to mine... is it because I don't have 2 WCs??

 

[Nosferatu]

Hubbell in my eyes is not far behind Pete
Greinke is not very far behind Felix
I do think Hamels has a good edge but I dont think much of your 4 and 5

Maybe that's where I am confused... Weaver and Haren, are the best 4-5 in this mock by a fair margin... And both would probably be Mebert's 3 pitcher

 

[Nosferatu]

That's something I simply cannot agree with.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

That's something I simply cannot agree with.

based on what??

 

[Nosferatu]

based on what??

Verlander and Cain are #4's both are better than Weaver... Is that enough?

 

[MilkSpiller22]

Verlander and Cain are #4's both are better than Weaver... Is that enough?

Ok, sorry... No argument that Verlander is better... Cain on the other hand... I don't think so... But bring back to this battle, do you think lance lynn, Francisco liriano or Jaime Garcia are better than weaver?? I don't... I would take Haren over those 3 too...

 

[Nosferatu]

I like Liriano when he's good he can be real good, I do like Haren as well I just dont think your 4 and 5 are simply better by a "wide margain"

 

[UK Cowboy]

Close matchup, I think mebert was one more plus SP from the win

Milk in 7
