We can call this Round 1/Season 1/Part 1.  If you guys want to propose some ideas, or post your rankings; we can combine them some how to get an Official Ranking - all of the teams are about the same, so it'll be hard to say who's the best without getting heavy opposition.

The solution to the BCS problem is a playoff system - I think it would also work here.

I would include my rankings; combine it with a playoff system for the best 8; and combine that with some kind of tournament (all of this would be simulated of course) - I am definitely open to an expansion of this project - it is an opportunity to drag this thing out and hopefully gain interest from prospective new members.

[fknmclane]

I think it's a great idea, simply because I'm one of the Great Eight.

Dvldog, you're gonna make roms with each of our eight teams?  Or roms with the two all-time teams?

I'm assuming you want our teams in the same format as the all-time teams were voted with.

I'll post my all-time team in a little bit.

Bruno over Jacko?!?!?!?!?!

[vgp100]

I'm just a fan--he's got to get love from somewhere.

[fknmclane]

This is good.  I feel like I'm joining some exclusive club or something.  I'm honored.
VGP, good call with the Old School quote (I see Blue, he looks glooorious.)
GDavis, I'm a prolific poster/loser.  Dvldog is actually going to overtake us both soon.

I've pined for this numerous times, but does heaven include ROM-created RBI on NES cartridges?

This is a freaking great idea you ho!  I will make my team up shortly and post it since I am the Mr. Irrelavent of the Great 8!  I have to go and watch 24 now.  Is anyone else freaking obsessed with 24?  If not you should be.  Expect my roster by morning and let me say that in the voting no player recieved a higher percentage of votes than my boy Sweet Lou Whitaker!  DoveRBI's team forthcoming... You're my boy blue!

You will fear my drunken team of turd-clad bombers!

[Gantry]

This could be tricky, but I'll go off my head:

1) Chili Davis
2) Kirk Gibson
3) Darrell Evans
4) Reggie Jackson
5) Lou Whitaker (subbed for Ruppert)
6) Alan Trammel
7) Matt Nokes
8) Doug Decinces (Spilman/Sheridan Time!)

Bench:

Ruppert
Spilman
Armas
Sheridan

Staff:

Clemens
Blyleven
Hernandez
Beringuer

Since I'll have so many studs in the lineup, I went with Armas on my team because if you want a righty for one AB, it would be Tony.   Ditto with Clemens, I'm thinking straight pitch for this team, Clemens gets the nod over Krukow.  

Thinking a lefty starter could hurt this team in straight pitch....

[BeefMaster]

I'll stick with the same team name and color scheme as my team in the fantasy league.  Here's the lineup:

Vince Coleman
Alan Trammel
Darryl Strawberry
Kent Hrbek
Gary Gaetti
Chili Davis
Lou Whitaker
Tony Pena

"Ellis" Burks
Randy Bush
Davey Lopes
John Lindeman

Nolan Ryan
Doc Gooden
Juan Berenguer
Jesse Orosco

Team speed is my strength, and I made sure to pick some guys who have the speed/power combo (Straw, Trammel, Burks).  I almost went with the all-speed team (Coleman, Ozzie, Doran, Pettis), but I got about halfway through and realized that they sucked.

[Gantry]

Yeah, small ball isn't going to win against the lineups we've been posting.  Christ, I pitch half the speedsters donw the middle just to get it over with...

[fknmclane]

Beef, you have a lineup full of drag-racers!  I love it.  But I think Gantry is right.  I don't know if they can keep up with the power of the rest of the lineups posted.  I'd love to have an all-speed team.  Raines, Coleman, Ozzie, Straw, Trammell.  I'm getting goosebumps.

[BeefMaster]

There aren't any fast 1Bs, so I decided to forget about it for a moment and take my all-time favorite Twin.  3B is another position mostly devoid of speed, so I figured Gaetti would do.

I think my lineup would keep up with the other teams pretty well - I don't have a masher like Reggie, but I have four or five pretty big hitters, plus I can bring Burks off the bench for another speed/power combo.

[fknmclane]

No speed at third?  You're forgetting Terry Pendlesack, the anchor of my infield.  He may not be a true speed demon but he's faster than most.

[RedRamage]

Not a bad idea at all.

Here's another that just popped into my head... maybe someone will want to do this as a future project: Have a draft!  Pick 8 "owners" and have them draft from the available players in RBI.

[BeefMaster]

Uh, Red, have you been gone for awhile?  We just did this a few weeks ago.  We put together a 5-team league (myself, dvldog, Glassjoe, vgp100, and GDavis), put our drafted teams into a custom ROM, and had the computer play an 8-game season, followed by a World Series.  Right now, the World Series between myself and dvldog is tied at one game apiece.  Check the "Tengen League RBI" board for game recaps, stats, standings, etc.

[vgp100]

Tony Pena at catcher?

[BeefMaster]

I know it's illogical, because he isn't really very good, but I've always had a soft spot for Pena.  He always played really well for me back in my younger days using the Cards for repeated World Series against one of my friends, and I couldn't bring myself to leave him off.  I almost threw in Laudner, but I already had two Twins in my starting lineup.
