Team A

And it’s not really that close.

Is this a serious question?

I heard Tim Lincecum will win 1 Cy Young & 11 Tim Lincecums. Question is, how many Cole Hamels will he win?

Team B

Team A may have th flashier names, but the majority of them haven’t even played a pro game yet. Team A has no one who is going to be a major league contributer in the next two years. Fantasy Leagues are fickle and tend to favor those going for it at the major league level instead of building some dynasty to brag about.

I will take Team B and Price and Detwiler who will be in the majors by the end of the year.

Team B’s farm will contribute sooner, but I think Team A’s potential outweighs it.

Team A could crap the bed.

B could easily outclass it.

I’ll bet on B then to win just to be different.

A, but...

seriously, this is what two actual people bet an actual $150 on?? Y’all are nuts. (Especially who bet on Team B)

laps team B.

standard

What’s your standard for deciding whose is “better”?

Team A’s upside is huge, but I’m kind of surprised at all the hate at B. Seems a little safer and also packs a lot of punch with Price, Vitters, and Rowell, among others.

Response

Looks really close to me. There’s a few nice players on list A but also a lot of young, high-risk guys (not that list B is much different in that respect).

About the worst that can be said for list B is that much of its higher-end talent is concentrated in the pitchers, which makes them even higher risk.
