VOTED - Femur, Meebs, Shane, Milk, UK, WLK, Nos, Smitty, 500

 

[femurov]

I vote for me.

 

[Mebert]

I really love Milks team in this draft. I have him by a very slight margin

 

[MilkSpiller22]

i got me... Femur has the best pitching staff in this mock, but i have the best SP and best single reliever(Gibson and Wilhelm)... and my offense is MUCH better than his...

Plus, in a match of dominant pitching vs dominant hitting, i have to penalize a rotation that is not balanced since it has 4 Righties... and i have a very strong lefty lineup...

 

[Shanemansj13]

I got Milk by a ball hair. One that has been trimmed week after week

 

[UK Cowboy]

Milk has a little better lineup, Fem has a deeper pitching staff. Great matchup,

i don't disagree... I made 2 mistakes all draft... but the biggest one was the Dwight evans pick... not that it was a bad pick, but i needed a SP, but panicked because i was afraid someone would steal the pitcher i would take... right after my pick, i was like, why panic, if someone does steal the pick i could steal a pitcher back right away... bad panic move... just hope it doesn't kill me...

I really like your lineup, and the pens are close, but I couldn't get past the fact that past game 1, with Gibson over Palmer(which would be close), he had the better starting pitcher in all four of the other matchups. I think if you had gone starter over Evans, you would have won, because I could see your lineup swinging a game or two against a superior starter, just not 3-4

Not sure if that is fair though... Femur beats every rotation by at least 3 pitchers... Palmer is not the strongest one, but he might have the strongest 2,3,4 and 5....

I think Milks biggest mistake was trading two high picks for Morgan. While Morgan is probably either the first or second best 2B in the draft I think he would have been better off with the two high picks, he could have taken Molitor and another high impact player with his 3 and 4.

While I am as we all know an offense first guy, Milks offense is better but Femurs rotation is better in comparison to Milk's rotation than Milks lineup is to Femurs lineup.

This is really a tough one for me but I have to lean Femur.

your reasoning kind of surprises me... I think i have the best offense in this mock... and i do think Matlack and Pascual are getting disrespected... just because they were never drafted in our mocks doesn't make them scrubs....

i find it interesting that his offense is getting the respect while my rotation is not...

I have drafted Matlack in the past.

Milk

He was #1 coming in for me.

Congrats Milk

 

[Ritzarmy]

I told Nos on the phone I vote for Femur but now looking at the teams more closely I got to lean Milk with the win.

 

[Nosferatu]

Oh, this means Femur's streak is over... it was a good run partner!
