The Bronx

I haven't made it yet, but on MLB 07 The Show on PS2 I'm in the process of making a good team that can win the world series easily, I'm the Yankees and need ratings on what I'm thinking of doing, so here is the lineup I'm trying to build

#1 - Derek Jeter
#2 - Bobby Abreu
#3 - Carl Crawford
#4 - Alex Rodriguez
#5 - Frank Thomas
#6 - Robinson Cano
#7 - Victor Martinez
#8 - Alfonso Soriano
#9 - Kenny Lofton

Pitchers are below

#1 - Dice-K (Created)
#2 - Tate Baik (Created)
#3 - Roger Clemens
#4 - Hideki Okajima (Created)
#5 - Randy Johnson
#6 - Curt Schilling
#7 - Jonathon Papelbon
#8 - Joba Chamberland (Created)
#9 - Mariona Rivera

Hey,

It looks like a well rounded team. I just have a few questions:

1. Why did you pick some of those players? Are they your favorites?

and

2. Isn't Dice-K and Tate Baik the same person? I mean, I didn't know who Tate Baik was so I typed his name in on google and it told me that that is what Dice-K's name is on The Show.

By the way, not to be a dick or anything, just thought you should know, it's Joba Chamberlain. I'm guessing it was just a spelling error, but if it wasn't, I didn't mean to call you out or anything. All I'm trying to say is that I'm not trying to offend you or come off as some spelling police a-hole, I just thought you should know.

Because I know the first 3 guys can get on base, especially Carl Crawford with his amazing speed and he has average power, and ya, most of them I know can hit well. I know Tate and Dice-K are the same guy but it adds more pitcher power to the team. I couldn't be bothered to look it up how to spell his name either.

Good answers, good answers. You know I wasn't making fun of your team or anything. I was just wondering (I'm only saying this because you came off as a little hostile, but maybe that's just me being paranoid).

But I do have another question. Of all people, why did you pick Kenny Lofton? I mean, yes he can get on base and everything, but there are so many better players than him. It just seems like an odd choice to go with, especially with a team of power and high average hitters.

P.S.-Why'd you change from your awesome Randy/Yankee banner? It was sweet.
