3B Hank Blalock

SP Roy Halladay
SP Barry Zito
SP C.C. Sabathia
RP Eddie Guardado
RP Bob Wickman
P Mark Buerhle
P Jake Westbrook
P Bronson Arroyo
BN Adam Eaton
BN Mike Gonzalez
BN Tom Gordon

TEAM B

C Jason Varitek
1B Travis Hafner
2B Bret Boone
SS Derek Jeter
3B Scott Rolen

BN Aaron Rowand
BN Ramon Hernandez

SP Roger Clemens
SP Randy Johnson
SP Carlos Zambrano

P.S...Please explain why and what the difference between them are (close or far)! THANKS!

If team B grabs a solid MR like Team A did, hten I'll definately go with team B. The offenses are pretty even (but I still may go with Team B by a little bit), but I like team B's pitching more. They have better SP's and a more solid bullpen. I just think team B is better all-around.

Again, team B (if it's you) should grab a MR because Gonzalez and Gordon will definately help Team A and team B needs the counter that.

I'll take Team B

Team A doesn't have a good closer and doesn't have as good SP as Team B

Offense is pretty close

I think it will be close but I will take Team B

And as far as MR go, you should be able to get one in the FA pool who will be comarable to Gordon or Gonzalez, there are always good ones out there early on.

i like team B...

team b's starting pitching just overwhelms A's...
i also like team b's closers better than team a's
the offenses are close, but i like team b's there by a little margin as well......
