Even with a below .500 record. The Royals have a lot of players that made the cut for cards. The team in general is as their record showed. Below average. Though they have a bunch of speed A guys. They have one decent pitcher and a draftable Catcher in Mike Macfarlane. What do you think? Only 4 teams left.

My favorite team coming in hot! I'm back from vacation so I should average 1-2 per week until complete. The Rockies have 1 monster stud and a handful of power bats with A speed. Seems like an overall oddly fast team. And like every Rockies team. The pitching is horrible. And some of these players closely remind me of their 2000 counter parts.

As the premiere for the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary on the 1986 Mets is debuting tonight, I figured lets look at them in Showdown form, thanks to our wonderful friend over at the Showdown bot. While they were a great team on the field, off of the field is where the drama really comes from this team. This Mets team finished first in the National League with a record of 108-54 on their way to a World Series Championship. I made this team a long time ago with a post, but no with the bot I thought I would revisit some of these classic teams.
Lineup: When I think of the 80s baseball lineup this comes to mind, not a ton of pop through the lineup and a very consistent on base through out, especially if you dip into the bench, you can have a lineup with an 8 ob base as the lowest on base through the lineup. Two 9OB speed As leading to Keith Hernandez is a nice way to start a lineup, and the great pop on the chart of Strawberry is a great set up for this team.
Next up is a classic. The Cincinnati Reds. Not a bad team, not a great team either. Some decent value cards on this team. And of course Barry Larking is a stud. It is nice to see a large roster of players to make the cut. Who is your favorite non Barry Larkin card.

Woa some big power (steroid bats) in this lineup. Also a red sox Roger Clemens. Everyone also knows I love my boy Jeff Frye, always bringing a value bat to a lineup. The lineup is overall really good. Lots of good 8,9 batters even some with A speed.
