Sunday night, a mix of 12 frequent posters and (ashamed) lurkers of TalkingChop.com joined together to draft their collective teams. This league's biggest strength also presented it's biggest weakness: Would the dozen Braves faithful select too many players from their beloved team too early, too often, and in excess? Would too many Philthies and Mets players fall by the wayside because quote, "I don't care how good he is, I'm not putting him on my team!"?
In the end, battle was done, casualties were stacked in piles, dejected managers with buyer's remorse aimlessly wandered and pondered why oh why they ever selected so and so at such and such spot, and elated managers rejoiced at their low-risk high-reward value picks. To the victor will go the spoils, as they say (I don't know who "they" are, but rest assured, "they" say it). But that leaves the elephant in the room yet to be discussed. Who is the victor? Who came out on top when all was said and done? You decide! After the jump, of course...
