This will be the place to post your rosters and thoughts for our first week teams! For reference, Friday 8 means May 8th, 2020. I will try to edit this post and make the Team of the day today in bold for each day, but always go by the numbers! It's all for fun, and don't feel like if you miss one, you can't do another. I hope everyone is doing well as we prepare for whatever baseball may bring in 2020!
Week 2:
Friday, 8- Red Sox 9- Braves 10- Mets 11- Cubs 12- Blue Jays 13- Angels 14- Cardinals

Toronto Blue Jays 2006ish- Dream Team
Lineup: SS- Jose Reyes
CF- Vernon Wells
3B- Josh Donaldson RF- Jose Bautista 1B- Edwin Encarnacion 2B- Aaron Hill DH- Adam Lind C- Russell Martin LF- Melky Cabrera
Bench: Alex Rios, Troy Glaus, Troy Tulowitzki, Lyle Overbay, Justin Smoak
Rotation: Ace- Roy Halladay #1.5- David Price (His time with the team was too short, but it was meaningful. So just a mention here)
#2- Marcus Stroman #3- J.A. Happ #4- A.J. Burnett #5- Mark Buehrle
Bullpen: LR: Casey Janssen, MR: B.J. Ryan, Darren Oliver, SU: Brett Cecil, Ken Giles Closer: Roberto Osuna
Notes: The Blue Jays' run of offensive dominance helped to create a strong lineup for the 2006ish- Team. As far as the lineup goes, putting in Reyes over Tulowitzki was not something initially expected, but Reyes's speed and relative (to Tulo) health with the club set him apart. Lineup spots 2, 3, 4, 5 can be ordered essentially in any of those spots, although I probably would not hit EE 2nd. Although I mostly got to watch Halladay with the Phillies, his dominance was clear. I would always sim right through facing him while playing The Show. I just couldn't hit him, now imagine what it would be like in real time. After Doc and Price, the closest they have come to an ace, spare for Aaron Sanchez's one good year, or Marco Estrada's two above average years, is Marcus Stroman. Following Stroman are three veteran SP to give the rotation stability and L-R balance. The Bullpen had three strong candidates to close in "the good" Brett Cecil, Osuna, and Giles.
