Looks like I’m going to lose already.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Need to see the lineups and rotations.

 

[JonathanW]

DWA is all pop, but no guys to get on base, I think maybe only 3 hit .290+. Crow wins the offense with better balance. I also like Crow's defense much better. Pitching is close, I actually like Pedro over CY in game 1. So the pitching comes down to the closers, have to give that to Nathan.

So even though I wouldn't have been for them years ago, I have to vote for JimCrowlaws in this contest, as long as he agrees to integrate his lineup.

1. LHB Ichiro Suzuki RF - .311 AVG/.355 OBP

I think my team is much more balanced offensively as another poster alluded to earlier. I have multiple guys who hit above .300 and/or have an OBP of .400 or better.

Defensively, I think I have the better team with my only liability in LF with Manny. @Dontworryboutit23 team is a cluster-f*ck up the middle with Piazza/Ripken/Kent/and whoever in CF. Ichiro and Jackie Robinson would terrorize Piazza on the base paths.

The lineup is probably right, I panicked on players and just always went with the best option on google, but pitching I think goes advantage me

Ripken was good defensively and kent and piazza were good not great. CF could be Dawson or Winfield both played it at times. Your lineup is more balanced but I think the pop potential of mine probably got votes, and I think my pitching is better

I was a Dodgers fan the early part of Piazza's career. And he was mediocre at best defensively, probably a 3.5-4 on a 10 point scale. Agree Ripken was solid/good, not great range, but he made plays he got to. Dawson & Winfield were good, but not good at the level of Ichiro, Robinson, Beltre & Reese.

But I am surprised DWB is winning this one. One team is going to hit .300, the other will hit .270.

Here is said poster of the opposing team essentially saying/admitting to my team having a lineup advantage overall…not sure what else to say.

 

[drcats2013]

Two great teams here. Edge goes to crow but would love to hear more of an argument from the opponent

I said you had a better lineup LOL not by as wide a margin as you want, but I think my pitching is better and in crunch time pitching is mor valuable but it’s close either way you gotta solid squad so do I

Piazza was tough, I wanted pudge but piazza hitting numbers were hard to overlook
