How About My Team For Yours?

I got several responses from the question, "Which roster would you trade your roster for?"  Some were even actual answers. Others debated between the desire to win now vs the rosters built for the long haul. And a couple of owners admitted they wouldn't trade their rosters for anybody else's - and who could blame them?

Turns out it's not an easy answer. Consider these teams...

Zaps - Goldschmidt, Machado, Bautista, McCutchen, Rendon, Kluber, Greinke, Scherzer, Giles...

Fungoes - Trout, Kershaw, Betts, Lindor, Sal Perez, Hosmer, Carpenter, Harvey, Price...

Rhinos - Bryant, Votto, Syndergaard, Cole, Archer, Braun, AGordon, Jansen...

Those names make up just the nucleus of those teams. They have plenty of talent and depth beyond those guys. And that's not even including the young, talented rosters of the Sidewinders (who were mentioned more than once as the most likely team to win in 2016), the Mavs (with Harper and Correa... definitely something brewing in Mavland), and the DVs (boy, if they only had pitching... and a different manager).

But the results from the votes are:

1. Zaps with 5 votes
2. Fungoes with 4 votes
3. Rhinos with 3 votes
