SHOCKER but I like my team better. I think my lineup has better balance, I like the top of his rotation but using all 5 I think mine is a bit better. My bench is much better IMO, the only right handed bat he has on the bench is a slap hitter. He has me beat at closer but Henke is a top guy IMO as well and the bullpens are both pretty solid.

I vote me...

 

[Ritzarmy]

Ritz. I have better pitchers IMO, my closer is best of all time, my lineup can be changed multiple ways depending who nos starts. I have the power bats plus the speed with Ichiro and Lofton.

A semifinal in an open draft is always going to be insanely close, this is no different. I feel the pitching and bench are really close, I love the top of Nos' lineup, but I like Ritz overall lineup just a little more. I feel like this is the best baseball team Ritz has put together

Ritz in a close one

Ritz

 

[Pack 500]

I'm gonna give the vote to Ritz with Teddy and Joe D making the difference in the middle of the order

I got Nos, here... Love the OBP on top of his lineup... He can afford having a lesser 3-4-5, because he will actually have players on base... And its not even like his 3-4-5 is bad... Its just worse than Ritz...

Nos, has a much more balanced team...

 

[UK Cowboy]

So I'm guessing since its 4-4 and they were tied in the rankings pending Smitty's rankings, Nos wins tiebreaker unless Smittys rankings were different than game vote? Doesn't get closer than that

Whatever you all think.

Guess I should have listened to @MilkSpiller22 lineup change. Even though nos laughed at it.

It wouldn't have mattered... and even if you followed my suggestion, your bench would be worse off... so you were really had no chance either way... even though I know you were half joking about this comment...

 

[Nosferatu]

I guess we wait for smitty?

 

[Ritzarmy]

Nos moves on. If Smitty voted for nos then obviously he thinks nos has a better team so no rankings needed.
