Yeah, your pitching staff is awesome, Ritz, but his is pretty good, too, and I liked his lineup a lot better.

Awesome beats pretty good.

Which one is your team Darkstone I forgot to vote against it. Damn

 

[Nosferatu]

See, he cheats and is vindictive!

 

[ehb5]

Thanks to whoever set my lineup for me, I'd much rather we keep these moving then sit around waiting on somebody. Also it looks pretty good although I'd have street as closer.

it was me who set your lineup...I set Roberson to close out of habbit, he closes on both my fantasy teams...that was my one personal decision...

Not sure why Marte and McCutch got switched but had Marte leading off.

 

[da55bums]

Kyle Seager 3B (4 Homeruns, 26 RBI) - have no idea where you got these numbers, not true

like 17 hrs and 70 rbis?

if your only going with hr and rbi stats to define lineups. I should have drafted, Chris Carter, Chris Davis, Mike Moustakas, etc...I completely drafted wrong.


Isn't CarGo and Goldschmidt injuried? as well as Jose Fernandez?

Its all good. And yea i noticed the McCutch Marte thing seemed off but it would still work like this.

WOW Im still looking where Seager had 4hr. You are correct on the numbers. Fuck.

Why cant you define a lineup with homerun hitters. I rather have a person hit homers then singles.

Yes both teams have injuries. I was just going by the stats I saw on ESPN (except Seager of course)

 

[da55bums]

oh, home runs are a great stat....so are stolen bases and batting average.

Once again I rather have Homeruns then a guy getting on base then stealing. Ill take my team of homerun hitters and you take small ball. Im not saying your wrong, Im just stating what I prefer.

Home Run hitting team will lose on average 7 of 10 games. You simply cant rely solely on the home run.

Q. What player would you rather have a team full of?

A. .227 AVG 26 HR's .302 OBP 51 Runs 61 RBI's 2 SB's
B. .336 AVG 5 HR's .373 OBP 63 Runs 35 RBI's 46 SB's

Dude you and Bums stop. So I differ from your opinions so what.

 

[Nosferatu]

Okay "Dude" You were saying a team full of home run hitters would win, simply showing that's not true, it's not about opinion. Yer just pissed cuz yer losin'! My money's on you to win the Hockey Draft!

 

[Nosferatu]

Not to mention yer comin up on 5000 posts so quit cussin at us and go vote for my team again!

 

[Nosferatu]

Holy Chit, it's gonna be a pain in the ace if we do a salary cap football draft, that's a lot of chit for me to keep track of.

It is a matter of opinion and your saying my opinion doesn't mean anything. If I want to say the sky is purple well that's my opinion. STOP trying to tell me other wise. People can differ from your views. This really has made me question if I want to continue drafting. Why do a draft when your opinion keeps getting attacked especially when asked you to drop it. I stated why I liked my team and you and Bums bombarded me with post after post on how I am wrong.

calm down Ritz...just said Seager's stats were wrong and that SB's and average are important also...that was it...

I went through the same thing in basketball....guys with HOF numbers and multi Championship Rings were looked down upon over Kevin Durant, Lebron....I still think it was wrong but I was in the minority also....Havelchek one of the best all around players to ever play the game I still would take over Durant and Lebron...and I not a Boston fan...lol...Wilt was definitely better than both.

You have never seen Nos get rolling on the ALCentral smacktalk thread...NO, NO you can not differ from him.

Depends on we do it. I could help you. That would be a ton of info.
