I'm posting my lineup again with no changes so we don't all have to look at JB's disgusting HOF ballot/lineup as the most recent post.

2. Troy Tulowitzki SS, R
3. David Ortiz 1B, L
4. Aramis Ramirez 3B, R
5. Hideki Matsui RF, L
6. Hunter Pence CF, R
7. Ian Kinsler 2B, R
8. Geovany Soto C, R
9. (Pitcher)

Others/DH: Ben Broussard OF/1B, L; Jack Hannahan 1B/2B/3B, L; Scott Hairston OF, R; Justin Maxwell OF, R

I WILL BE DOING LINEUPS THAT WEEKEND - that is a 100% absolute promise. You have until the 11th to resubmit your lineup. If you do not submit a lineup, I will use the last one you posted here or if you did not post I will create your lineup. I will post a reminder on this next week.
:roll: :roll: :roll:

I never received the reminder.

TB

1. Lofton ---.296/.367/.414 23 SB MLB
2. Eckstein -.309/.356/.382 MLB
3. Butler ----.292/.347/.447 MLB
4. Rasmus -.275/.381/.551 29 HR AA
5. Moore ---.265/.373/.526 AAA
6. Pascucci -.282/.387/.569 AAA
7. Jaso ------.311/.405/.481 AA
8. Bautista -.254/.339/.414 MLB
9. Jimenez -.245/.379/.343 MLB

Usually sims around 62 wins. A +10 over our first year in the IBC. Acceptable as we break in some young pitching in TB this year. The talent is young and the MLB roster is thin. Prediction: Bottom 5.

I'm going to be totally honest - I'm off Percocet so I got totally wasted both nights this past weekend. My boys came in on Saturday night, and my dad came in Sunday to watch the G-Men. I'm going to try my best for this weekend, with some help, but no promises. That would appear to be stupid at this point...

Sorry for two posts Z, can't edit my last post..

Reds latest lineup, after trade:

1. Ichiro! (.351/.396/.431) - 37 SB
2. HanRam! (.332/.386/.562) - 51 SB, 29HR, 48 doubles
3. Dunner! (.264/.386/.554) - 40HR, 101R, 106RBI! 101BB
4. Wright (.325/.416/.546) - 30HR, 113R, 107 RBI, 42 doubles, 94BB, 34SB
5. Thome (.275/.410/.563) - 35 HR, 95BB, 96RBI - injury year
6. Posada (.338/.426/.543) - 20HR, 74BB, 42 doubles, 90RBI, 91R - he could move up depending on projection
7. V. Wells (.245/.304/.402) - 16HR, 85R, 10SB - he hit 303/357/542 the year before, injury year, could move way up the lineup depending on projection.
8. Iwamura (.285/.359/.411) - he's a much better hitter versus lefties, so he probably slides up there, but not a bad hitter at the bottom of the lineup.
DH. Reggie Sanders (.315/.412/.493) - kinda by default. slide him up when/if used... if he's healthy.

Reggie is one of the most exciting players i've ever witnessed in the game. Its too bad he's had a career hampered with injuries. Guy is electric. Kinda like Eric Davis was in his time, but Davis much more of a "highwire" act. But Sanders had some fucking wheels, and guy could get hot. He's the only baseball player I've ever seen steal home plate successfully while I was attending the game. Man, I miss Riverfront.. :( heh.

I've divided this up into top half and bottom half, and have pretty much finished ranking the bottom half - rest should be done next weekend...

It was either "finish the lineups" or "use the NBA suite for the Royal Rumble tonight," needless to say the lineups lost...

That sounds like a fantastic idea, unfortunately there's absolutely no way this isn't released as a full top 30...I'm not taking crap from everyone everyday, I'd rather take crap on a Sat and Sun...

Also, the list you made was absolutely huge in getting me to run through, many, many thanks...

Booooo. Post them now, dammit. The only good thing about the super bowl this year is that once it's over the Boston Globe can finally go back to committing 95% of its resources to covering the Red Sox.
