  1. Nice picks, Vance. I drafted all three for a league that I'm in. They're all matched up against pitchers they hit pretty well on opening day, too. Unfortunately for the Cubs, Dunn is Dunn against Z.
  2. Actually, in the 2007 Baseball Prospectus book, it's pointed out that Dempster was the worst of all Cub relievers when pitching back-to-back games. One reason Dempster had a worse 2006 than 2005: teams sent in more left-handed batters to face him. I know it's a dead horse, but Dempster absolutely stinks against lefties.
  3. Thanks for the heads up, 98. This could be fun when they open the phone lines. Sox fans can't like the 72-win projection.
  4. The Royals project to have a decent offense.
  5. It's been working fine for me all day. My guess is that the login/account verification process is messed up. I've been listening to a game since noon, but the moment I tried to switch over to the Cubs game, I got the error message.
  6. Time for everyone to request prorated refunds from MLB.com.
  7. Pirates have a better offensive team than the Reds? Krivsky is magical like that.
  8. And Silver thinks the gap between the Cubs and the Brewers is probably more like 4 games. He believes PECOTA is underrating Zambrano slightly and that the loss of Dusty Baker has to count for something. As for the Brewers, he thinks the forecast is just a little optimistic.
  9. Just like Jacque Jones needs a platoon partner, Mark Derosa needs a platoon partner. I'm not saying Todd Walker should be that platoon partner, but it is something that should be done. If Theriot fills that role, great.

  11. Nate Silver, the creator of PECOTA, picks the Cubs to finish first in the NL Central. Subscription required: http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=6023
  12. Carlos Mencia steals his material from Adam Dunn.
  13. As stated in the article, steroids do help increase strength. There's no evidence that HGH does so. The point is that the media tends to conflate steroids with HGH.
  14. I really don't care, so I'll go with the majority.
  15. Lou's trying to get all the stupid lineups out of his system before opening day.
  16. No Perez. Whoopdy-do. :wink: Perez's 2007 projection: .240 .273 .360 I question Lou's intelligence in having him around for so much of ST. Neifi wasnt with the team this spring, was he???? The mighty TOMAS was.

  18. Actually later in the day guarantees that I'll be in the middle of family activities.
  19. If you guys don't take the full 90 seconds between each pick, I might even be able to do some live drafting at 2 on Sunday. I did a draft in a public league yesterday and one or two guys - who were there, mind you - went down to the wire with every single pick. Even in the first round.
  20. Kent vs Dunn. What would happen if the two faced each other?
