October 17, 200322 yr My picks: 1B: Marlins 2B: Yanks SS: Yanks 3B: Marlins C: Marlins (Pudge squeaks by on his defense) LF: Even (Matsui vs Cabrera) CF: Yanks RF: Marlins DH: Yanks (Giambi vs Conine)
October 17, 200322 yr I am writing up my full analysis right now but... 1B: Marlins 2B: Marlins SS: Yankees 3B: Marlins C: Marlins LF: Marlins CF: Marlins RF: Marlins DH: Yankees
October 17, 200322 yr SS: Yanks Jeter over Sea Bass???? cmon! Don't see anybody dominating in this one
October 17, 200322 yr Castillo over Soriano? Maybe because of his fielding... JP over Bernie? Maybe cause he is younger (JP)?
October 17, 200322 yr I agree, mostly: 1B: Marlins 2B: Yanks SS: Yanks 3B: Marlins *C: Yanks - Posada gets the edge b/c he can hit from either side of the plate LF: Even (Matsui vs Cabrera) CF: Yanks RF: Marlins DH: Yanks (Giambi vs Conine) But, look at the big picture lineup and the edge goes to the Yanks. They can throw 7 lefties and 2 righties at you or 3 lefties and 6 righties without making a substitution. I think SP and Closer also favor the Yanks, although the Fish may have a slight edge in the pen. It should be a fun series.
October 17, 200322 yr Author Seriously JBurque? Because I would much rather face Boston's pitchers...
October 17, 200322 yr I feel that a one for one position comparision is not the right way to compare these two teams. I see that they only have a definative edge at the SS position with Jeter being an A+ defensive/offensive big game type player. They may edge us in other positions, but not by much. I think that as a team, the Marlins have the edge. And have played better ball druing the season (Post Torborg)
October 17, 200322 yr 1B: Marlins- Lee defintely gets the nod over nick johnson, johnson hasnt been the same since coming back from his injury. 2B: Yankees - This could be a tie if u count playoff performances soriano is stikin it up SS: Yankees- Jeter wins this one hands down. 3B: Marlins- Lowell wins this one hands down. Boone hasnt done much in the Al since coming from the reds except for last night. C: Marlins- Pudge for sure because of his defense and hot bat right now. LF: Marlins- I see this one as a tie almost but go with conine with his playoff experience and if its cabs ill still give it to the marlins CF: Yankees- Bernie too much of a bat compared to pierre. RF: Marlins- Go with Juan Encarcion here just because the rightfield platoon doesnt really work for the yanks. DH: Yankees- Gotta give this to Giambi. Of course this is assuming these are the spots but even if they change 3b, lf, or rf i still think the marlins win in those positions.
October 17, 200322 yr Seriously JBurque? Because I would much rather face Boston's pitchers... I didn't want to see the bald-headed wrecking crew is all. Yankee pitching is always tough but the BoSox bats have been JUICED
October 17, 200322 yr CF: Yankees- Bernie too much of a bat compared to pierre. Power wise, yes but otherwise, JP beats him and also has a better glove.
October 17, 200322 yr Guys do you realize the payroll differences between these 2 teams is absolutely Night and Day . It makes me laugh when Yankees fans brag about a Team whos payroll rivals the payroll of three major league teams . To me there is nothing to be proud of there. Its like routing for an all-star team . :thumbdown
October 17, 200322 yr So they officialy announced the positions it is goin to be cabs at lf and conine at dh, i hadnt heard anythin yet. Bernie does have the better bat when it comes to power wise but jp is the better fielder. You still have to give it to bernie.
October 17, 200322 yr 1B-Marlins (Lee over Johnson) 2B-Yankees (Soriano narrowly over Castillo) 3B-Marlins (Lowell over Boone) SS-Yankees (Jeter over Gonzalez) C-Marlins (Pudge narrowly over Posada) LF-Marlins (Cabrera narrowly over Matsui) CF-Yankees (Williams narrowly over Pierre) RF-Marlins (Encarnacion over Garcia) DH-Yankees (Giambi over Conine) Starting Pitching-Yankees, but that could change if Penny and Willis step up Bullpen-Marlins by a lot overall, even though Rivera is better than Urbina
October 17, 200322 yr bahahhahahh cabrera is better than matsui in postseason big time. Pierre is better than williams this yrs. B AHAHAHAHHAHAHH
October 17, 200322 yr i agree with you Mags I'll take that as a big time complement Ramp. You seem to really know your stuff when it comes to baseball.
October 17, 200322 yr bahahhahahh cabrera is better than matsui in postseason big time. Pierre is better than williams this yrs. B AHAHAHAHHAHAHH

Marlins- JP is f***ing NUTZ as you all know, he is the reason the marlins score alot when him and louie get going there is no stopping us.....

BRING ON DA YANKS...... Now thats how you f***ing anylize s***
October 17, 200322 yr How can Bernie be ranked over JP? I'm sorry, but Juan Pierre is the Marlins MVP of 2003. They're not in the world series w/o JP. The Yanks still won, with or w/o Williams in the line-up. PERIOD.

October 17, 200322 yr Author I agree, mostly: 1B: Marlins 2B: Yanks SS: Yanks 3B: Marlins *C: Yanks - Posada gets the edge b/c he can hit from either side of the plate...... did you just seriously rate Jorge Posada over Pudge Rodriguez? I mean one of these catchers is already a lock for the Hall of Fame. Guess which one it is. Pudge is ranked up there with the greatest catchers of all time.
October 17, 200322 yr Author How can Bernie be ranked over JP? I'm sorry, but Juan Pierre is the Marlins MVP of 2003. They're not in the world series w/o JP. The Yanks still won, with or w/o Williams in the line-up. PERIOD. well now that would depend on who was out there INSTEAD of Pierre now, wouldn't it? would they still be here with Preston playing center field? would they be here with Encarnacion in center and Millar at the other corner? I don't think it was Pierre's 60 steals that got the team into the playoffs! If you want to argue he's the team's MVP, that's fair. I disagree, but he's obviously an important player for us. To say they wouldn't have gotten here without him though.... you're assuming whoever's in CF replacing him would suck?
