UK = Nos, Bums, 500, Ritz, UK
Gold = Gold

 

[Nosferatu]

Good luck fellas!

 

[Nosferatu]

I think I ranked UK 2nd. Even though he is pretty righty dominated in his lineup I think because of his rotation UK wins this one...

 

[da55bums]

UK- SPs, lineup

Bench push

Gold-Bullpen

according to the Royals success - Gold wins, but traditionalists have to give UK the win. Koufax was the Bumgarner of this match up. UK wins in 7

 

[Pack 500]

UK in 5

 

[Gold Rush 86]

I feel like my lineup is the best in the whole draft. UK has the better rotation for sure but I think I have the better bench and bullpen. I have myself taking this one.

 

[UK Cowboy]

I think Gold has an awesome middle of the order, but I think my lineup is real solid. I think both bullpens are lights out. I do like my rotation much more and think that's the difference

I got UK Here.

Gold, next baseball draft you SHOULD draft a backup catcher. Just some advice.

 

[obxyankeefan]

UK and I love the Trosky pick.

 

[Ritzarmy]

I'm calling out Gold. I want challenge you for 2nd place. If I shall lose I will give you 1000vcash.

 

[da55bums]

for my own entertainment- I put my team up against UKs looking at numbers

C- Push - don't know if there is a more definitive push both clearly changed the position from putting your worst player behind the plate and both helped carry their team to championships as well as MVPs, Yogi got MVP votes for 15 years.
1b- UK - clear winner - Hodges top 10 of 1b not in the HOF
2b- calling it a Push- but hard - Gehringer listed at top 4 2b of all time, with Hornsby, Lajoia and Morgan, Rose maybe out of position here especially defensively.
3b- Bums- clear winner - Molitor is in the HOF for 1 thing, held on long enough to get 3000 hits, other numbers are Johnny damon to a tee(for you Nos but look them up)
SS- Bums - clear winner - Stevens top 10 SS not in the HOF
LF - Push- both were good OFers for their team with a few great seasons
CF- UK- clear winner - Oliver 3rd most hits not in the HOF
RF- Bums- by an edge- both provided power for their teams, Rocky had a Dale Murphy fall, Parker just lasted longer.
DH - Push- 2 completely different players both about equal in their styles.

SS, 3B just as dominate over positions as 1B and CF.

SP-UK

Bench- UK (guessing on this one, got tired, lol)

I will give UK the edge. a shame people don't look at the numbers.

I vote for Gold

 

[Ritzarmy]

I vote for Gold

Go figure nos votes against me. If only I could have bet Vcash on that happening again

 

[Nosferatu]

Molly held on long enough to get 3,000?

The year he got 3,000 at age 39 he led the league in hits with 225 and hit .341

Too bad Damon wasn't good enough to "hang around" to get 3,000...
