Official RBI 30-Team 2011 ROM

[TβG]

LA Dodgers: I didn't see many games this year, but hopefully this will help unless a real fan wants to give their input.  Things to consider: Manny only played 66 games, do you want him on the bench? Scott Podsednik was a late pickup and only played in 39 games.  Garrett Anderson wasn't much of an impact hitting .181, but you might want some lefty power coming off the bench, Gibbons had more starts(lefty)??  I don't think you can really put together an accurate lineup with the different acquisitions, but this would probably be someting good for RBI (below).

No DH:

01 Podsnk
02 M.Kemp
03 Ethier
04 JLoney
05 CBlake
06 Furcal
07 DeWitt
08 RMartn

Bench:
B1 Carrol
B2 Thriot or Barjas if you want a 2nd catcher
B3 RJhnsn
B4 Gibbns or GAndsn

Pitchers:
SP1 Kersaw
SP2 Kuroda or Billinglsey (looks like Kuroda had more control: so/bb)
RP1 HC Kuo
RP2 Broxtn

Texas Rangers:  i hate these guys, but they're good.  lots of power and speed throughout their lineup.  key acquisitions in bengie molina and cliff lee are big reasons why they made the post-season.

02 MYoung (3B)
03 Hamltn (CF)
04 VGuero (RF)

Bnch:

Lineups are flying in. I appreciate the help. Plus it's reconnected me with some of you fellas I hadn't talked  to in a while. Time to get the RPC firing again once this is completed.

I also think with more guys around than last time, we need to reprise the online championship series.

He's on the Dads now...thakns for the update...

Biggio, you have some guys listed twice in your lineups...might want to check some of thsoe, although I was able to work around them.

This is awesome, not many teams left to go...

Biggio, you have some guys listed twice in your lineups...might want to check some of thsoe, although I was able to work around them.

Did a quick search through my posts, didn't find any(unless you mean my footnote that you Could put Upton at the 2 spot, just ignore that, put Zobrist there and BJ at 6)

I know Cordeo's the closer, but I picked the two best relievers, not the closer. Cordeo lost 5 times and had 7 blown saves, plus I wanted to give the Reds a lefty pitcher, otherwise they have none. Not to mention that Cordeo had a walk for every two innings he pitched and a mediocre strikeout rate.

EDIT: If you disagree, just put Cordeo in and take out Masset.

5. Jay Bruce(RF)
6. Johnny Gomes(LF)

Pitchers:
Bronson Arroyo
Johnny Cueto
Arthur Rhodes
Nick Masset / Coco Cordero is the closer (40 saves)

Becnh:
Ryan Hanigan
Paul Janish
Miguel Cairo
Laynce Nix / Maybe Chris Heisey (8 homers) played more than Nix

Rest of line-up looks good.

Tampa Rays:
Without DH:

1. John jaso

Thanks for your work on this stuff. I still mod it to my Dreamcast and have a great time with updated rosters...

[Biggio]

Completely understand, redfanrod, I was going to give Heisey the od myself, but Nix is a lefty, which is pretty big in RBI. Only 2 of them seemed low for the team with the most runs in the NL, but I shall defer to your judgement. See previous posts on Cordero.

My bad Biggio, it was MortalPortal who put Duncan in twice on the Indians...

As for Cordero, I put the closer in on every team...top 2 SPs, setup man, closer...closers are usually the more well-known players in the bullpen so I like to include them...

If a team's fan has some better advice on who to put in a lineup, I'm all ears...these guys are just doing me a favor by filling in, but if you make a case for why a player should be on the team, we'll listen.  It's turning into a bit of a community effort anyways, at least in terms of who to include...

We're almost there...well be ready to start rating very soon...
