RITZ - 1
SHANE - 7

VOTED - Shane, Nos, UK, Milk, Mebert, Bolts, Ritz, Tlance

 

[Shanemansj13]

I think I have a deeper lineup and rotation. I think he has a better bullpen.

My lineup is unique. 6 of the 9 guys are excellent at staying alive. Very good or great hitters that rarely strikeout. Moliter, Brett, Lou, Kirby, Ivan and Nomar all are great hitters that rarely strikeout. My rotation is much better from 1-5.

 

[Nosferatu]

I was shocked Ritz beat 500, I don't think he gets by Shane here. So I guess I should be congratulating Ritz

 

[MilkSpiller22]

Shane might have the best rotation 1-5 in this mock, and has a decent enough bullpen too...

not a fan of shane's offense, but i do think it is strong enough to beat ritz...

 

[UK Cowboy]

I like Ritz team alot, but I thought Shane did an outstanding job picking at the end of the 1st round and edges him out

Shane

 

[Mebert]

Shane

 

[Bolts]

Shane

 

[Nosferatu]

Ritz votes for Shane and he said a bunch of other stuff, blah, blah, blah...

 

[tlance]

Surprised at how lopsided this vote is. I got Ritz in a close one

Wasn't he like, 50 when he died?

 

[femurov]

I vote for Shane.

 

[Nosferatu]

He died a few days before he turned 46.

 

[UK Cowboy]

He died a few days before he turned 46.

Too damn soon for a good man

Like the order of the lineup?

I dont have a ton of pure power hitters but a lot of guys that are very good hitters, rarely strikeout and hit for average. I have speed at the top and bottom and IMO it is pretty balanced.

 

[Shanemansj13]

R.I.P. kirby

Well, i am known around here to be a puckett hater...LOL... don't really hate him, but think he is over-rated... I also don't like David Ortiz as your number 3 hitter...

Switch Gehrig and Ortiz?

Kirby was a great hitter and defensively. Stop hating on him lol

 

[Shanemansj13]

Ortiz is always in the 3 hole especially when Manny was there

The only people who would say Kirby was overrated as a player are people who never seen him play.
