    he's allowed 3 line drives in 4 IP, all for outs

    - H. Ramirez sacrificed to pitcher, J. Baker to third wtf?
  3. sneakypower
    entire roster gets kept, 5x5 + losses basically, for the next 4 years, would you rather have Slowey or Buchholz?

    the only people in the world who have any doubt the Cubs are winning the division this season are all found on this board odd

    Assume Harden goes down for a significant amount of time and we are forced to add Shark to the rotation. Name one team in the Central that will have a better rotation than the Cubs. Also, name one Central team with a better starting lineup than the Cubs. Go ahead. I'll be waiting patiently for your reply. Using PECOTA, if we give Harden's 155 innings to Shark, the Cubs starting rotation (Z, Lilly, Dempster, Shark, and Marshall) is projected to have a composite ERA of 4.76 over 845 innings, while the Brewers starting rotation (Gallardo, Suppan, Bush, Parra, Looper) is projected to have composite ERA of 4.45 over 800 innings. So, according to PECOTA, the Brewers would have a better rotation. Clearly, there is no NL Central team with a better lineup than the Cubs, but that wasn't the argument. The fact is that inserting Shark instead of Harden gives back every bit of advantage the Cubs have in the rotation and, according to PECOTA, gives the Brewers the better rotation. I'll be waiting patiently for your patronizing reply. ugh, the Shark is a pitcher Pecota just has no idea how to properly forecast. and i hope i don't have to explain the utter impossibility that Lou would have patience enough to give 150 innings to a guy with a 6 ERA

    it's not their fault Osgood stepped out of net to pass the puck right to Clutterbuck. they were thoroughly outplayed all game and just got lucky breaks to keep it close.

    neither is the marlins making the playoffs. if their top 5 stay reasonably healthy, they probably have the best pitching in the division and a much improved defense. it really wouldn't surprise me at all to see them make the playoffs.

    how are Wood & Morales disappointments??
  9. sneakypower
    looks like meph learned japanese all for nothin
  10. sneakypower
    they shouldn't be
  11. sneakypower
    well the good news of this all is that Zimmermann, Porcello, Perry exhausting their prospect status soon should propel us from last in the farm system rankings

    you had the lefty loser twins Robertson and Willis playing hot potato with the gig all spring, now Willis is bipolar or something and Robertson still blows. not a lot of other options, really. i don't really see anything wrong with it. you an skip his starts a few times early in the season and limit his innings, and they've got 3/4 of a great defensive IF to field all the grounders he'll induce. the real desperation move will be calling up Perry in May to close after Lyon gets repeatedly bombed.
  13. sneakypower
    thats simply not realistic
  14. sneakypower
    i'm sorry GR but he's going to win R, HR, RBI, SB, OPS nearly every week. with that roster i'd probably trade off all pitching for good relievers and win 8 categories most weeks.
  15. sneakypower
    and the Indians don't?

    http://projectprospect.com/article/2009/03/16/top-200-prospect-list couple weeks old but depressing. only 2 of the top 199 and Cashner sitting there at 200

    a few Marlins make playoffs (desp 90+ loss pecota/tht projection) Nolasco wins CY Orioles finish over .500 James McDonald finishes 2nd in ROY Wieters doesn't win Giants win division Brett Gardner gets at least 1 MVP vote Rangers win division - Cruz has more valuable season than Hamilton Phillies miss playoffs Brian Wilson leads league in saves Lester leads AL in wins Bradley plays 135 games

    pujols, reyes, howard, upton must be some kind of joke in that auction league your first league has nasty pitching Alexei already has SS elig in Yahoo, i dont know about other formats

    I'm not remembering how we acquired Bellhorn, but I don't think it was for 3 prospects, at least 2 of which have had some success in the majors for Florida (Mitre may be nothing, but he was roughly league average for a year in '07). For whatever success JP has had in the majors, he had 700 pretty brutal ABs for us. Yeah, the prospect we gave up for Bellhorn never made it to the majors. And Bellhorn wasn't a slap hitter with a low OBP like Pierre. ~ league average = low? ricky nolasco would have been traded for crap the likes of Garrett Olson or Andy Pratt long before he ever developed, had we kept him.

    absolutely- you upgrade tremendously at 1B & 2B, and lose only depth at the first sign of Vmart productivity, i'd get rid of Ramon Hernandez for someone with discernible upside
  22. sneakypower
    holly

    not that i have any special affection for the guy, but it's puzzling how if somebody speaks ill of say, mark bellhorn, droves of people come in to defend him, but pierre, who's actually had a reasonably productive MLB career in comparison, gets piled on mercilessly
  24. sneakypower
    or why did he trade Andrew Miller for him, is a better question
  25. sneakypower
    Screw the Timberwolves, I have no clue why Kevin Love isn't playing more minutes when he's doing well. http://www.yardbarker.com/media/a/b/ab142c9fe2d9b29b49da991e5996a603e7a34647/xl/Blake_Griffin.jpg
