I gotta say, this went better than I anticipated. I had fun, so thank you to everyone who participated. I hope this isn't a one-off.
I haven't commented in here until now because I wanted to let you guys finish, but I'm really impressed with how this went. I've been a big fan of WhatIf Sports for a long time and have used it for my own alternate histories, so this is a cool feature. I wish I knew more about baseball to effectively participate--I would have been more useful for an NFL or college football tournament.
Good job everyone!
Hey, thanks!

My only hope in the franchise tournament is that the dead ball era core of my rotation (Ed Walsh, Ed Cicotte, & Doc White) prove to be mystifying to every other team.
This should probably be a new thread though, right?

As much as I'd love to bask in my victory as long as people are willing to let me, might as well strike while the iron is hot.

congratulations skitch. i wonder who would have won this thing if we had voted for best team like a typical tournament.
Difficult to say, in large part because I think we all drafted differently than we would have.
Yu Darvish was used out of the pen a whole bunch in the last tournament. What if you were to give them no choice and have nothing but SP on your staff?
