2020 Astros
Similar team to jfranco's 2019 Astros, but not as much pitching.

Hard to pass up a rotation of DeGrom and Mad Max.

2023 Rangers

Time to make a choice and live with it ...

1995 Astros

I was debating between 2013 and 1991. Kept going back and forth. It came down to better defense for 2013.

I like the D of my infield. It's the OF that leaves a lot to be desired. But adding good defenders as late inning subs will help alleviate that concern

Sorry, can someone please sm

Done

i was driving home worried that i was holding us up...

It's odd, because chewy3344 made a pick in a diff league *after* he was due up in this league. Maybe he posted and forgot to click "Submit" or maybe he just got tied up all day.

I'm done for the night. Will check back in the morning

1975 Rangers.
And I apologize for holding this up. I was out celebrating my 40th with a group and it was challenging to do quick research and post from my phone.

Happy 40th Birthday!

Have you heard the saying if you don’t know who the sucker is at the table, then you’re the sucker? That’s how I feel with this pick. I had this team ranked 1-3 in the Astro hierarchy yet here they are. They have the great pitching of the later teams, the Altuve/Correa/Bergman infield and good catching options. And the weakness of those teams, the outfield, is almost a strength thanks to the one-year return of Captain Trash Can: Carlos Beltran.

So give me the 2017 Astros and as the French would say: Laissez les bons temps roulez!

Not sure why but I can’t sitemail right now so if someone could contact kstober, redkelts and pedrocerrano I would appreciate it.
