I would have left Santana in when they pinch hit for him.

Santana has been the best pitcher in the tournament so far. 3-0 with a 0.50 ERA.

Good point. Clemens and Hamels have held their own in this tournament as well.

I knew I should have drafted a much better pitching staff.

You drafted 4 starters before I took Hamels. You kinda took the same strategy I did with starters, other than the fact I pretty much had to take Clemens.

In the mid 90's all a pitcher needed for a 6 WAR was 20 starts and less than a run an inning. (see: Justin Thompson)

Adam Dunn's batting average was over forty points lower than every single starter on that Tigers team.

Hell, it was 20 points lower than Rob Deer's was in 1991.

Oh hell yes. Griffey walk-off homer to open the bottom of the tenth! It was so much more fun bc I covered my phone screen enough so I couldn't see the final score until the end. That was good.
