Lineup Card

8. Young

If there's a DH, I'd put Sheffield between Thome and Edmonds.

[Apprentice]

Come on guys, we need some speed guys on the team too! ;)

And some lefties in the bullpen.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Stima, Reyes at center while Sammy sits? WTF
Sosa doesnt play center

Plus I had Beltre from Houston starting, but then I remembered he is from Puerto Rico so I erased him and moved Reyes up

[Apprentice]

Beltre is Dodgers. Beltran is Astros

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Oops, got them mixed up

I ment to put Beltre at 3rd on my DR team........EDIT

[CNM]

BTW stima, Reyes doesn't play in the OF. He plays 2B/SS.

[Apprentice]

O ya, if i could have a 5th reliever, I'd take Brad Lidge. That guy is a strikeout machine.

[BCWWF]

BTW stima, Reyes doesn't play in the OF. He plays 2B/SS.

Thats what I was referring to. I think Vlad could play center if he needed to, and be more effective than an infielder.

[Yashamaga]

Oh yeah

sub Randy Winn and Bucky Jacobsen

[YOUR Hero]

Oh yeah

sub Randy Winn and Bucky Jacobsen
No Iichiro?

[Yashamaga]

He's Asian

way to go, hero

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]
