The most dominant ROTO baseball team ever assembled, without collusion, via skilled drafting, shrewd trades, and timely waiver acquisitions. The team took the lead in its 12 team league in mid-April and never looked back, finishing a dominating 20.5 points ahead of the runner-up. Its murderous batting lineup finished 1st in 5 of 6 offensive categories (R, HR, RBI, AVG, OPS) and 2nd in steals. Its dominant pitchers carried the team to 1st in ERA and WHIP, 2nd in SAVES and HOLDS, and 5th in WINS and K's. The indomitable lineup, in its optimal form, was as follows:
C: Brian McCann, ATL 1B: Albert Pujols, StL 2B: Chase Utley, PHI 3B: Aramis Ramirez, CHC SS: Jose Reyes, NYM OF: Lance Berkman, HOU OF: Carlos Lee, TEX OF: Matt Holiday, COL UT: Troy Glaus, TOR Bench: Hideki Matsui, NYY; Jason Varitek, BOS; Corey Patterson, BAL; Kevin Youkilis, BOS; Juan Rivera LAA SP: Roy Halladay, TOR SP: Andy Pettitte, HOU SP: Jered Weaver, LAA RP: BJ Ryan, TOR RP: Akinori Otsuka, TEX RP: Tom Gordon, PHI P: Todd Jones, DET P: Joel Zumaya, DET P: John Lackey, LAA Bench: Esteban Loaiza, Jon Lester, Mike Stanton Carlos Lee was acquired in June for Pat Burrell and Ken Griffey Jr. to solidify and streamline the lineup. Ladies and Gentlemen, the greatest ROTO team of all time!!! Wooooo!! Man, there is no way we can compete with the Toxic Megacolons. That team is a juggernaut!
