This weeks games being #2 vs #31 should all be ugly. Except for 1b and SS which have some hated players at #2.

maybe we can skip the 1 and 2 matchups... They are a waste of conversation time...

Top 16 was leaving some deserving players off, but the top 32 put a few players up here that are not sticking around. Get through this week and the first round is almost over.

Seriously, nothing really to say this round.

There is not much to discuss with Sherm Lollar. You would think the 31st best catcher in the history of the game would have something to discuss about him. I should have snuck Moe Berg in here.

obxyankee, you said there will be one exciting 2 vs 31... which one was that??

1B is Pujols vs Tex. Pujols should win easily, but we at least have something to talk about.

SS is A Rod vs WTFC it's A Rod.

The rest of the week is like today's.

eh... don't think any of those will spark great debate... Maybe we should have an opposite George guy for these just so we can manufacture some fun...

Can you convince anyone that a 31 is better than a 2 or 32 is better than a 1??

I have some of your ideas for future ones Milk. Maybe the worst 32 players that played 10 or more years. When I do teams some cats will be Worst team to win it all, Worst team ever, Best team to not make the postseason.

But yes the first round weeks with numbers 1-5 are pretty boring this time. Next time I might just do the top 28 and have four byes IDK yet. I do know the next one will be top 32 of the last fifty years, so must of us will have seen all of them play.

Hey, watch it! That's 33.3% of the Holy Trinity you're disparaging with that comment.

'93 Giants. Not much of a debate.

IDK '54 Yankees were pretty good.

I'm so glad that MLB does division play and multiple playoff rounds now. That old method sounds terrible.

Yup.

I LOVE the new system with the WC. It keeps the integrity of the divisions, but still allows other teams a glimmer of hope.
