Sox vs Yanks...March Madness
March 14th 2010 05:29
With March madness breathing down on us pondering a pickup basketball game between the Yanks and Sox pitching staffs...unfortunatly Brackman got sent down so he's not eligible...
Yanks
C- CC at 6-6 290 immobile but thrashing in the key..really more of a PF but with Brackman unavailable...
PF- Jonny Albondigas 6-5 260 might be barkley probably not....Phil Hughes 6-5 240 could be the best 6th man if Albondigas isn't all that..Joba could be the enforcer but at 6-2 maybe outclassed...bet his ft% sucks
SF-AJ Burnett 6-4 220 gonna leave it on the court...Andy Petittte 6-5 225 aging vet can't give you the minutes on the floor but will be key
SG- Marte/Gaudin/Park all about the same...Vasques gets the start...Mitre at 6-3 a doable option at swingman
PG Gotta go with Mo when the games on the line...otherwise give the ball to Aceves
Sox
C Lackey 66 245 best height though won't mix it up with CC well...use Beckett at 6-5 225 and Richardson (if he makes the cut) at 6-6 220 to draw CC outta the key and into foul trouble
PF- use Boof at 6-4 245 (on paper) till he fouls out swing Jon Lester 6-4 240 between the F positions to spell Boof
SF- Lester and Danny Bard 6-4 200 good combo..also swing Bard to the shooting guard as you swing Papelbon 6-4 225 with the forwards
SG-Wakefield is a Scott Wedman type player off the bench Bowden(if not cut) is an option at 6-3 215...but most of the work falls on Bucholtz at 6-3 190
PG- Dice-K Oka might be the ones to steer the ship but Ram Ram will give you speed...Manny Del might be a sleeper...
Prediction: Yanks power game inside holds till the Sox begin to run...lack of a pure PG holds the offense in check for the Sox but ball movement the key for them...if the Yanks can get the ball to the big men inside they can score...Sox man to man defense will be hard for the Yanks as thier zone defense will be stretched by the middlemen of the Sox who have to maintain pressure on Mo's 3pt shooting...Red Sox inna buzzer beater if CC and Albondigas stay outta foul trouble...otherwise Yanks too slow footed for the outside game...
