    It makes me really sad I never made the majors. I could be terrible at my job and still make a very comfortable living.

    This.
  3. erik316wttn
    any truth to the rumor that wavin' wendell is coming back?
  4. erik316wttn
    And Bradley was an [expletive] before he got to Chicago, so the blame is at least equal.
  5. erik316wttn
    And just fine are your brains for good today!

    Someone dropped, so there is now one open spot. First come, first served.
  7. erik316wttn
    I did this, too. :oops:

    I'm positive the Pirates will play at least 160 games this year.

    Are you tryin' to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?

    6 hours and 30 minutes till class is in session, boys. Because everyone's gettin' schooled!

    League is now full. Post here if you'd like to be considered an alternate just in case someone drops out before the draft.
  12. erik316wttn
    Only 2 spots left!
  13. erik316wttn
    One-time top pitching prospect Lance Dickson.
  14. erik316wttn
    If he has even an average spring, is he going to break camp with the Nats?
  15. erik316wttn
    I fear, though, that if we have bad production out of SS (prompting a benching/trading of Theriot) or 2B (prompting Theriot to move there to open up SS) we'll see Castro sooner than we should.

    Great! Your buddy is welcome, too.
  17. erik316wttn
    Still lots of spots available!

    For everyone's sake, really. Hopefully valuable lessons were learned from the whole Corey Patterson debacle that ensure the same mistakes will never be made again. I dont think Patterson was rushed. I think a certain manager tried to make him something he was not. If they would have just left him alone and let him bat 6 or 7th he probably would have been fine. Of course I think his expectations were higher then his reality also. That being said I think Castro should be in AA this season. I am one who usually is all for bringing players up. In this case I dont see the rush as long as we have Theriot playing average SS. Part of what you say is true, however Corey was also brought up and then spent long stretches on the bench, hindering his development. And yes, the whole "trying to make him a power hitter" thing didn't work out too well. And I'm of the opinion that he was indeed rushed. Multiple mistakes were made that derailed a promising career.

    I'm going to try to stick to that draft time, yes. Also, the first league got deleted. The first post is updated with the required information.

    Reading comprehension isn't one of your strong suits, is it?
  21. erik316wttn
    Leave the divisions as-is. The other 3 teams do have a chance. Tampa won the pennant 2 years ago. Realignment isn't the solution. A cap is.

    holy crap, the public is stupid. fixed

    The MLBPA never would have considered allowing testing if it wasn't for the public outrage related to cheating. And now they're having issues with allowing the HGH blood tests.
  25. erik316wttn
    Yeah, shame on us for thinking something that has happened 10 times before under similar circumstances will happen again!
