Gotts admit the Bambino and the Big Unit are amazing players but if we look at the entire team I think my lineup is absolutely better, he has Randy but my rotation if we count all 5 is better, remember we should be looking at how these starters did in the big games or playoffs, my rotation was very very good in the playoffs, Lefty never lost a playoff game, Frankie won MVP And game 7 of the 1987 WS, my pen is better and IMO my bench is better, obviously WLK always has a good team but I got me in this one.

 

[femurov]

I don't like either teams starters, really. The pens are close, but Nos has the better lineup top to bottom. I vote Nos.

 

[Ritzarmy]

I got WLK I feel his trade really helped him land the 2 best players in this draft. Babe and Randy are just nasty. I give him a slight edge in this close matchup. I like Nos's lineup a little more but like WLK's pitching better. WLK in a game 7

Nos might have the worst pitching in the mock but he also has the best hitting and best bullpen. That compensates for his bad pitching vs a weaker team.

Nos wins.

Nos wins.

Thank you for voting but I don't have the worst pitching. Look at my rotation in the playoffs. My rotation against playoff teams did very well...

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I'm leaning Nos on depth as well

 

[Mebert]

This is close. I got nos, by a very slim margin

 

[Pack 500]

Nos

Nos wins.

I don't like nos getting credit for my worst pitching.....

Nos cheats. You see how he never counted my vote for you WLK. Now nos has a good lineup but I don't see his pitching beating Babe and the rest of WLK's nice lineup. Then you add Randy Johnson the best lefty pitchers of all time and I don't see how nos won. That's the beauty of these drafts, we all view teams differently. I remember the first 2 years we did baseball drafts and Nos couldn't buy a baseball victory, now look at him beating a Ruth/Johnson team solidly according to Nos's counting Great teams both of you and in a way I am glad the top team on my list WLK is out so I won't have to face him

Nos I am not dissing your team but more congratulating WLK's team.

 

[Ritzarmy]

How are the playoff matchups determined? Who am I facing next? I would like to know so I can set my team for that game in advance please.

I put WLK's name instead of yours, sorry... I've done that before, when reviewing the votes sometimes I put the team voted for instead of the guy voting....

Just busting your balls and I almost did that a few times when I did the play in game voting so I fully know what you are talking about.
