In a long series, I like the prospect of my bench, starters and bullpen playing a big role.

Great team on the other side however!

 

[Say Hey Kid]

The As win! Congrats!

I voted for me just because. Your pitching has longevity on its side. Not sure it's more overpowering than Cy/Satch/Hubbell with Ryan as the long man though. And my lineup is better I think. My closer is almost as good. Very tight series. Clemens/Koufax/Gibson/Eck -- you can't do much better than that.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Last year I had the 2 best starters ever plus Seaver and 9 of the top 33 in WAR and I lost in the first round.

I agree with the voting, I'm just laughing because how does a lineup with Hornsby DiMaggio Williams Mantle Foxx lose to anybody?

Then again- that anybody would be Clemens/Koufax/Gibson/Eck. Not many pitchers could crack into that group. Rivera maybe. Maybe. Walter Johnson maybe, but Clemens and Gibson are modern day Johnsons anyway. And Koufax is pretty untouchable at his peak.

Well, funny you mention those two, because he beat both of them on my team just to advance to the finals.

Every single team in this draft was stacked - bound to happen in an ATD with so few teams.
