Anybody? Anybody at all?

I would go with Team B, better balance across all categories

[Pedantic]

Thanks. Anyone else?

[BigLebowski]

B by a fair amount.

The only advantage I see about A is the SP, but not by much.

agreed. wood and prior are studs but oswalt beckett santana aren't that shabby

[Mookie4ever]

The pitching on B is not that bad and the relievers on B are far ahead of the team A relievers.

The only thing that team A has over team B is Prior and a better 1b.

[jaroche24]

Prior, Wood and Morris are no match to Oswalt, Beckett, Santana and Webb. Team B's RPs are much better as well.


As far as hitting goes....Team B is slightly better with more balance. Great OF and great 2B, SS, and 3B. Team B will get SBs, something that Team A won't. Also Team B should consider starting Reyes over Gibbons if Reyes' injury is not serious.

I prefer B.
