Answer 2

Answer 3

team 2

Answer 4

Easily the first 1. they would just crush the 2nd team.

Answer 5

1

Answer 6

2

Answer 7

ill go with team one

here's how id break it down:

catcher-ill give the advantage to team 2

1B-tie

2B-team 1

SS-tie

3B-team 2

LF-team 1

CF-tie

RF-team 1

P-team 1...for now

Answer 8

I woudl take the 2nd one.  Theres a huge swing at the 3rd base spot.  Every other position is relatively close.  Im surprised by how many number 1 choices there have been.

Answer 9

First one except for Roger Clemens

Answer 10

The second by a landslide, there is no comparison, unless you mean (in there Primes) then maybe i would have to stop & think. But right now, come on any lineup with Big Papi bating 7th is insane.

Answer 11

defianetly the first one...they have better players...i also dont get the 2nd one all that much...why would you put ortiz all the way down in the 7 hole?

Answer 12

What the h**l is David Ortiz at first base doing in any of these lineups?

I would much rather have at.

First base. Yukilous, AKA, "You Kill us".

Not only that, but,

Left field. Manny is strictly a left fielder

2nd. base. Brian Roberts is a much better fielder and hitter (this year) than Kent.

Catcher. Are you paying attention?  "RUSSELL MARTIN" is the superior catcher in both leagues this year.

Roger Clemens? Who "dat", "Da Steroid Monster"?  Maddux is a better choice.

Jeter, shortstop? Yes! As Branch Rickey once said about Eddie Stanky, "He can't run, hit, or throw, All he does is beat you.

IRod, third base. Great choice.

Suzuki, Center field, Who else?

Vlad's great arm. "RIGHT  FIELD" of course

Answer 13

Tough choice, but I'd take the second lineup.
