22 years old, and I'm not a big fan. However, I am a true believer that if you believe something is helping you do well, taking it away will hurt you... even if only for the psychological impact. For that reason, and that reason alone I had to vote that I like the blues. I simply don't want Zambrano to get upset about not being able to wear what he wore in all his good years and have a bad one as a result. Pinstripes are amazing, I don't think there's a better uniform in the bigs. The Greys are awful. Something really needs done. I'd love to see a Navy Blue road jersey.
Cameron was also batting third today for the Padres. He's a criminally undervalued player, not only from a fantasy perspective but in the real game too. And I picked up Piazza for my league too. He may not produce as much on a per plate appearance basis, but he should have a lot more plate appearances to even it out. Got him in round 15.
My pitching staff has been wicked so far with King Felix, Ben Sheets, Jake Peavy, and Brett Myers. Myers has easily been my worst pitcher, and he went 7.2 IP, 9 SO, 3.52 ERA, and a 0.78 WHIP. I can live with those numbers.
Huzzah? Don't get me wrong, I'd like any advantage over the Cardinals... but at the same time I'd like to legitimately take the division, without cards fans being allowed to say "well if carp weren't hurt..."
I think Zambrano should get grandfathered in and still be allowed to wear the blues for his starts. Everybody else will have to settle for the pinstripes and an updated road gray.
I liked them solely for the fact that it gave the pitchers a chance to control their superstitions by focusing on which jersey to wear when they start.
I'd love to get ARod for Z under the right circumstances, but saying Zambrano can't throw strikes is absurd. Not really. Z led the majors in walks (115) last season. He was also fourth in the league in strikeouts (a mere six off the leader). Can't get those without throwing strikes.
