EXPLANATION IS MANDATORY OR YOUR VOTE WILL NOT COUNT

[yrtb]

C Carlos Santana

1B Joey Votto

2B Robinson Cano > Ian Kinsler

3B Evan Longoria > Placido Polanco

SS Alexei Ramirez push Marco Scutaro

RF Nelson Cruz

CF Alex Rios push Andrew McCutchen

LF Carlos Gonzalez > Nick Markakis

DH Paul Konerko push Nick Swisher

 

The lineup was 3-3 the way I saw it, I think our lineups are about even, mine has a little more power maybe but his has a lot of guys who get on base and score a lot

 

1. Adam Wainwright push King Felix

2. David Price push Johan Santana

3. Mat Latos > Clayton Kershaw

4. John Danks > Shaun Marcum

5. Tim Hudson > Anibal Sanchez

 

I think that while the first two starters are extremely close, I have an advantage in the 3-5 starters. Wainwright has been better than King Felix this year, but they were about even last year, Johan has more experience than Price, but Price pitches in the deadly AL East

 

Latos has dominated this year, Kershaw has been pretty good, but he doesn't typically last very long in his starts, he isn't economical, and he walks a lot of guys and doesn't have a great WHIP, Latos WHIP is about 1 and his ERA is slightly better

 

Danks has had a better ERA than Marcum this year, Marcum was out all of last year so that can't be compared

 

Hudson is having a career year at, which is remarkable given his age, he frankly should be in NL Cy Young talks, his ERA is phenominal

 

LR Ervin Santana

MR Sergio Romo push Kyle McClellan

MR Mike Adams push Darren O'Day

MR Matt Guerrier N/A

SU Evan Meek push Matt Thornton

SU Hong Chi Kuo push Daniel Bard

CL Andrew Bailey > Jon Broxton

 

We both have excellent bullpens, the average of most of our guys over the last two years is about two, so the bullpens cancel out, his average in long reliever is averaged by mine at closer, the middle relievers and set up men are about even

 

Overall, I think the bullpens and lineups are about even, and that I have a slightly better pitching staff, which gives me the edge

 

The bench is really a push:

 

Buck push Molina

McGahee > Infante

Jason Bay

Luke Scott push Pedro Alvarez

Erick Aybar N/A

[yrtb]

Anyone care to vote in the finals...

[bsox0407]

JBay.

 

Rotation is really close. 1-0 to Yrtb but the Bullpen is eeked out by Jbay and the bench is push and the lineup is JBAy.

[yrtb]

I don't really see how his bullpen or lineup is better to be honest, what players do you disagree with from my analysis that makes his bullpen/lineup better

[italstallianion]

I think that Ytrb beats the living s*** out of Jbay's team. Then again, JBay's team should have lost to WhiskeyBreath in the first round, should have been destroyed by my team in the 2nd round, and should lose here in the finals. There was a reason why Ytrb had the #2 power ranked team (while mine was #1) and why JBay was only #5. His team isn't that good.

 

Heck, of the 4 final teams, 3 of them voted for my team to beat his. The teams that voted for JBay (JBay, Youker, Bsox) all had bad teams themselves, which shows that they are also bad judges.

yeah, I was surprised you didn't make the finals

 

I think jbay's team is pretty good and better than whiskeys though

 

And suns and bsox both vote against me every round...no matter how bad the opposing team is

[italstallianion]

To substantiate my vote, and so it isn't completely out of disgust or revenge. Ytrb, in my opinion, has the only team that I think could beat my team. (Divinity's is close). They were the 3 clear best teams in the tournament. Ytrb has the best 1-5 pitching staff of all 10 teams, and has a top 3 lineup besides mine and Divinity.

 

The bullpen's are close, but JBay has a really weak bench as well. This isn't even a contest. It's like a heavyweight AL East team playing against a dainty NL team in the World Series, where a bunch of other AL East teams would have won the finals as well. This is a horrible championship round.

 

As far as I'm concerned, I lost to Ytrb in the finals. The right team won it all, although under the wrong circumstances.

[MDF3530]

YRTB.

 

I'll take Konerko over Swisher any day of the week.

[yrtb]

I love how 3 people out of our 10 team league have voted...

[Divinity]

I vote for yrtb, bullpens and lineup are close, but yrtb has a edge his rotation

[suns]

I got cheated out unfairly..I'm not going to vote

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I got cheated out unfairly..I'm not going to vote

 

I told myself I wasn't going to get involved but this time I have to. You did NOT get cheated out. Almost everyone but bsox disagreed with you. I even took the time to look at the matchups. Michael Young better than Longoria? :lol: I couldn't take that serious. You lost so just accept it.

[yrtb]

Suns, how did you get cheated...your team was not good. And Adam Jones > Carlos Gonzalez? that was almost as stupid as Longoria and Young

 

One more vote and I win

[bsox0407]

yeah, I was surprised you didn't make the finals

 

I think jbay's team is pretty good and better than whiskeys though

 

And suns and bsox both vote against me every round...no matter how bad the opposing team is

Just because you don't agree with the way i judged the teams, I used past stats and what they have done, Not just what they have done lately doesn't mean you should take underhanded shots at me.

[yrtb]

But you don't back it up with stats, even when you are in the minority

 

And me vs suns wasn't even close

[bsox0407]

And me vs suns wasn't even close

 

i don't have time looking at stats all the time.

[suns]

Mat Latos was better than Jered Weaver? HA

 

When Will I get over getting cheated out, you ask?

What is today?

The 22nd

2 Years

[yrtb]

Mat Latos

* W-L 13-5

* ERA 2.33

* K 144

* Walks 40

* WHIP 0.98

 

Read it and weep

 

And last year wasn't even a full season, he's not even 23 yet, you can't expect him to be good at the age of 21

[suns]

NO ONE CARED HOW OLD HE WAS LAST YEAR....IT'S HOW HE PERFORMED LAST YEAR! IF YOU WANTED TO COMPARE AGES ALMOST ALL OF MY PLAYERS HAVE MORE EXPIERENCE THAN YOURS.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

LOL suns your making a big deal out of something small. You did NOT get cheated out once again. I can't believe you made it your signature. Does the winner win like a million bucks or something? It's a fantasy team. Chill a little bit.

[bsox0407]

NO ONE CARED HOW OLD HE WAS LAST YEAR....IT'S HOW HE PERFORMED LAST YEAR! IF YOU WANTED TO COMPARE AGES ALMOST ALL OF MY PLAYERS HAVE MORE EXPIERENCE THAN YOURS.

 

Calm down suns. Some people are basing their stats on one year not like the league is supposed to be on the past few years. That is why some teams have players who are on the DL and some who are for this year.

[yrtb]

Well, what matters more, now or two years ago...Two years ago people considered A-Rod the best player in the MLB

 

And how could a 22 year old have played two years ago, you shouldn't punish players for this being their first year

 

And if you're going to let a fantasy league make you sulk for two years, you really need to find better things to do

[suns]

I guess you have bad memory.

[yrtb]

No, I remember distinctly that in 2008 my fantasy baseball league prerankings on yahoo had Albert Pujols as #2, behind A-Rod

[suns]

Not that!

I'm not going to remind anyone. It will just be a suprise

[italstallianion]

I find it funny that Suns went on a rampage for being shafted before I go to. I don't know about Suns, but I get absolutely f***** in this thing. I'm still pissed off, hell, I'm not even sure if I'm going to do the hot girl draft anymore. Judging by how bad some of the voting has been here, I can only imagine what s***** voting will go down in that tournament.

 

By my luck, my team will lose to a team with Sarah Jessica Parker on it because a few teenagers misunderstood the voting requirements.

 

And for the record, congratulations Ytrb. I think you should have won the tournament all along, although you should have beaten me in the finals.

[italstallianion]

I wasn't just taking a shot at you. I was also ripping on Youker (unanimously worst team in the league), and Flynnatic (last power ranked team).

 

In all fairness, in the rankings I sent Ytrb, I had your team power ranked dead last (I dq'ed Youker). And considering where you, Suns, and Flynnatic were ranked, most of the other teams agree with me.

I don't care where you put my team. You could put my team on the DQ list. BTW i put you I just followed what i read on the original posting about this was a draft about the past few years and this year. Not just one Year.

I agree, and a lot of owners (posters) didn't pay attention to that. With that said, even considering that, I don't think that helps you that much.
