they don't have DH's because it's in the Mets ballpark, right?  if I could add DH's i would add Joey Votto of the Reds and Prince Fielder of the Tigers.  Closers are Mariano and Kimbrel.

1.94 ERA, 88 innings, doesn't have HALF the lineup behind him that Bucholz, Verlander or Darvish do.  we all know Felix is better but his ERA isn't below 2.

Lol @ straight disrespecting Clay. Having a better lineup means nothing when you still have a lower ERA and more strikeouts. And wins count for something. Iwakauma is a beast though.

Cano over Dustin? Did you mean Trout over Trumbo? Lol.

Adrian over Goldschmidt? Buster over Yaider? Love Segura, but they're gonna let Tulo start.

 Wins are such a useless stat. After watching Felix for years I've grown to realize just how useless they really are. Of course, if you're going for the "best player on the best team" argument you got it there, but the M's offense is so fucking bad that they screw pitchers out of wins all the time. I remember before we traded Fister to the Tigers he was like 3-13 with a 3.30 ERA or something lol

That AL team looks like shit outside of Cano, here's the correct answer.

C - Francisco Cervelli
1st - Mark Teixeira
2nd - Robinson Cano
SS - Derek Jeter
3rd - David Adams
OF - Vernon Wells
OF - Brett Gardner
OF - Ichiro Suzuki
SP - Andy Pettitte
RP - Preston Claiborne
RP - David Robertson
CL - Mariano Rivera

I wouldn't mind seeing Shawn Kelley and Boone Logan either. And no, I don't know that there are 14 other teams in the AL. To me they're all figments of everybody else's imagination.
