[Nosferatu]

Jeffro = Jeffro, Smitty
Ritz = 500, WLK, Milk, UK, Nos

 

[jeffro151]

Jeffro. My 1-5 hitters are just too much for Ritz's pitching staff, especially in a 7 game series.

 

[Pack 500]

Ritz with Trevor Hoffman blowing the save in Game 7 as he did in any big spot in his career. Ritz can match Jeffro's top of the lineup and has the better lineup depth. Robinson, Brett > Rose, Lajoe with the 3, 4 guys cancelling each other out basically.

 

[wlk3]

I have Ritz... I did like Jeffro but I have Ritz ranked 1 from my reading and info...

 

[MilkSpiller22]

both teams are flawed, but ritz, I think is less flawed...

So I got Ritz here to win...

 

[da55bums]

isn't it an automatic DQ if someone picks Joe Mauer?

 

[UK Cowboy]

Hate picking a winner here. Both teams have fantastic lineups, I would give a slight edge to Jeffro . Benches are close. Slight rotation edge to Ritz and a decent edge in the bullpen. I had Ritz tied for first in rankings, and it holds up, but couldn't be closer. Jeffro's team is excellent

Ritz really close

 

[Nosferatu]

Really tough for me to vote against Musial, Ruth, Robinson but when I look at the temas as a whole and how I believe they would fair against each other I gotta go Ritz by the slimest of margains...

 

[broncosmitty]

Jeffro. My 1-5 hitters are just too much for Ritz's pitching staff, especially in a 7 game series.

You're lineup is better 1-9 on the whole. (Sorry Ritz, station to station waiting on the three run homer isn't cutting it for me.)

Your rotation is better 1-5 on the whole. Especially your #4 starter, wheffffff.

Jeffro gets my vote.

 

[Nosferatu]

Ritz moves on

I think so as well, but looks like were outnumbered. Crazy, I figured the team with all HOF's in the lineup and bench except 2 (Rose and Trout) would beat a team that has at least 5 on the team that will most likely not be in the HOF (Martinez, Thome, Lofton, Ortiz and Mauer). Our rotations are very similar, mine has a career ERA avg of 3.18, Ritz has 3.13.

ERA is a tough one across the eras. I'd imagine my starting rotation had the best by a considerable amount, but I don't think it was top four. I'd take yours ahead of mine. But I lost too.

The vote in this one surprises me.

I almost went Jeffro here for the reasons you said... But I had these being 2 of my worst teams, but I think ritz team has more potential with some lineup changes...

If he changes to more of a slow pitch softball team, I'll be pissed.

If Ichiro is batting second I'd be happy.

I actually told him to drop ichiro....LOL... and yes that is said by the owner of Arlie Latham...

Hahaha

I might overvalue Ichiro a little. But he's pretty high on my list of lefty contact hitters with speed and high end defense.

Had he came over at 21-22, he's right on Pete Rose heals this year. And would have a shot at 3-4 all time in steals. Possibly right there for Alltime in runs.

I like George Brett, but I'd put what little speed I have at the top.

I disagree. Second is a premium spot and Brett is the better hitter

I don't see Brett as a better hitter. He did hit more home runs. But until Ichiro hit his mid thirties, it's hard to find a better 2nd hitter imo. (Cobb and Gehringer being two that come to mind.). Plus the speed difference.

Brett not only hit way more homers but also has a higher OBP. Don't know if you're a Saber guy, but Brett kills Ichiro in my two favorite Saber stats wOBA and wRC+.
