2015 All-Time Franchise Tournament: WHITE SOX WIN!

[philpritchard]

It's hard to go with anyone other than Pedro for the Cy, given his complete dominance in these tournaments so far. I'll go with Mathewson, though, to avoid the obvious pick.

I'll go with Bonds for MVP.

[CopperTom]

Kimbrel, Duffy

[Norah]

Yaz and Pedro

With 10 teams in each league, we have to be going top 4 in each league/2 round playoff, right?

I still think we should do top three. We can do top four if more people want that though.

You know Asher's running the dodgers right? Unless there is only one round of the playoffs....

[Lament]

Aren't his teams usually pretty good?

In the regular season, yes.

[Lament]

I gave them the slight nod over the Giants on the strength of their starting pitching. His rotation is nuts.

[Norah]

You're grossly undervaluing the Diamondbacks.

[@SkitchP]

I love that there is no Yankees team.

[Lament]

I love that there is no Yankees team.

Especially considering we have the Rays, Diamondbacks, and Marlins.

[philpritchard]

I feel obliged to note that the Jays went 19-11 or something in the second half last year once I figured out a decent lineup (or at least that's my excuse).
