1997 v. 2003: Staff Ace Results
By Ehsan Kassim
Last week I asked you guys, who was the better Marlins World Series ace, Kevin Brown or Josh Beckett. We will look at the results in a second, but here is a look again at the team with the position players, here is a look at the Marlins All-World Series Team:
- Catcher: Ivan Rodriguez
- First Base: Derrick Lee
- Second Base: Luis Castillo
- Short Stop: Edgar Renteria
- Third Base: Mike Lowell
- Left Field: Miguel Cabrera
- Center Field: Juan Pierre
- Right Field: Gary Sheffield
- Designated Hitter: Jeff Conine
Here is then how the optimized starting lineup would look:
- Luis Castillo
- Derrick Lee
- Ivan Rodriguez
- Mike Lowell
- Gary Sheffield
- Juan Pierre
- Miguel Cabrera
- Edgar Renteria
- Pitcher/Jeff Conine
The results for who was the better Marlins World Series ace are in, and the winner is:
Josh Beckett!
Here is a quick glance at the results:
I am completely in agreement with you guys. Beckett had a superior season when you combine the post-season and the regular season, which are both very important in winning a world series. Kevin Brown was no slouch himself either. He will be the Marlins number 2 starter on the All-World Series team.
Next time, we will figure out the rest of the Marlins all-world series pitching staff.
