Same. The overall pitching numbers aren't bad, but they give up a lot of homers. The 2011 and 2013 teams have nearly identical lineups and better pitching. Curious to see how 2012 does.

I will send out the league number within the next day or two.

There's a Rockies offense that is insane, but I just can't trust the rotation, especially with the division I'll be in.

2000 Diamondbacks
I'm a bit surprised 2000 lasted as long as it did. 2001 was the second team to go in the NL and the only significant difference in rosters is Mark Grace.

I chose 2003 over 2001. Besides getting to use Mark Grace at 1B (instead of Colbrunn/Durazo), I get switch hitters (Carlos Baerga) at 2B, (Alex Cintron) at SS and (Kevin Bass) at OF. I also get Brandon Webb x2 who allows me to use '92 Schilling as a long RP.

But 2000 D'backs is a solid choice late.

If I had to pick a Rockies team I probably would have gone 95, even though the offense isn't quite as good, just to have Saberhagen and Swift.

avoiding the pitching in the early divisions and taking the 2012 rockies.
I debated taking 2012 COL with my Top 4 pick! Went with 2011 for Millwood and the better pitching but you get LeMahieu (over Mark Ellis) and a better 'pen.

So, it looks like my 2015 Marlins are in a division with the three Rockies teams? This should be…fun?

The NL East looks tough with 3 of the top 7 NL teams selected (and the fourth team -2000- a near clone of the 2001 team)
