All-Time Franchise Baseball Tournament: RED SOX WIN IT ALL!

[philpritchard]

I would suggest Moseby (.844 OPS with 6 SB and just 1 CS) or Barfield (.860 OPS) get consideration for the last spot, but they've been useless the last two days, so four bad games have probably driven their OPS under .800.

[Lament]

Day fourteen has been run. And I'm gonna post it now so you guys don't have to wait for the Packers game to end before it goes up.

[@SkitchP]

Let's add Torre to the voting for the last spot. I wanted to put him initially, but his stats were pretty outdated. Since we've only got three votes in (and two of them are Skitch and me voting for our own guys), Torre can be the fourth option.

I'm gonna edit that post to add him.


Also, Molina really shouldn't be an all-star. We'll drop him for Musial now that we have full stats.

Skitch, do you need me to host this team on one of my accounts? I have space on my second one.

nah, I made an account to get them set up

[Kaius]

Bruce Sutter fucking sucks. He's blown 3 games in just awful fashion.

Anybody up for mid season roster adjustments? I'd feel much better if I could cut his ass. Surely everyone has guys they'd like to cut.

[numbers]

I'm mixed on roster adjustments. We decided against it originally, but we extended the seasons length after that.

[@SkitchP]

Roster adjustments feel like they are going to be a pain in the ass- Dream Teams on What If cant be edited once finalized, so theyd have to be started over. Id rather not allow them.

[EJ]

Yeah, I say no roster adjustments.

[BigRedLedbetter]

We are all fortunate to witness the greatness that was Pudge Rodriguez.











One of the best finishes to a game I have ever seen.



Last one for CrossSkitch

[Norah]

So Doerr now has three dingers in four games.

[Norah]

And Pedro throws a complete game shutout with thirteen strikeouts.

[BigRedLedbetter]

Is Pedro better than Maddux or Randy Johnson? There is a a good chance that is correct.

[Norah]

Yes, he is.

[philpritchard]

I'm pretty sure Dave Stieb is now 0-7.

[numbers]

So Doerr now has three dingers in four games.

I knew there was a reason he was in the HOF.

[Norah]

Pedro has to be leading the league in strikeouts, no?

[Norah]

Doerr has nearly twice as many total bases as Fisk in half the ABs.

[numbers]

Is the all star game deciding home field in the WORLD series?

[Kaius]

Gibson has 44.

[Norah]

Gibson has 44.

which is less than 46
