A review of the exceptional teams in 2006

[the splinter]

Jeff "The RBI Machine" Francouer

[BOBBYTHOMPSON]

I should have went with B. Giles with all the Petco teams.. :(

[MARCPELLETIER]

You get your logic right, BoDean, but you identified the wrong right-fielder.

Francoeur might be a good rbi producer, but succesful managers apparantly prefer to have a left-handed right-fielder...

I have won with RHH RF such as Guerrero, Francouer, Sheff and Guillen so I wouldn't overstate the need for a LHH RF.

Ichiro.

yeah, Ichiro is the guy.

[ROBERTVOZZA]

He gives you a lot for a 5.32M Player - Range, Arm, ability to steal, score, move runners, can bat in the 1, 2 or 3 spot from the leftside, good Avg., decent Slg. and OBP, and can act as an 8 or 9 spot leadoff hitter before your actual leadoff hitter. No RF in the set does more for the money. I either take Ichiro in the top 4-5 or just take someone cheap like Ibanez.

AND...He never gets injured.

Jerlins known how to build a success story, at least when it comes to the cheap stuff!!! You got Ayala, Flores, J.Molina, and Heilman.

[Jerlins]

Only 4???? I had two shoo-ins, but only 1 made the list. I figured Molina as one, but thought Wickman would be the other. Ah well, this is fun. Good job!!! I'll let some others take the stabs and sit by and wait for the results.
