Not only are you in the mix, but you can inexplicably throw out 11 more wins in the playoffs and win it all! It's f'in great! yay luck go.to.hell.

Not as impressive as Greinke's 56 mph curve on MVP05

Is this like a six team league?

Muskogee Phoenix. Oklahoma, holla.

I figure its ok to post this, since it's just an item that crossed the AP wire, and not in a newpaper yet (give me a few hours, and it will be in mine though, I love running baseball articles. Main art and story on page 3? Matt Morris sucking it up for the Giants, ahahah.)

Is anyone else having trouble logging in to mlb.tv? When I try it just sends me to an account preferences page, it never logs me in. Sort of frustrating.

Think about the fact that a 26 year old with no minor league experience is rated the number 1 prospect in all of baseball. Over Alex Gordon and Delmon Young. He deserves to be #1. Daisuke's definitely the best prospect with no major league experience. I still believe players from the Japanese Pro League should NOT be allow to be consider a "ROY Candidate" or a "prospect." Dice-K, like Ichiro were/are not rookies at the time of the ML debut. Nor should they be considered ROY awards. Yeah, definitely not rookies. Daisuke came over after throwing 1,000 major league innings, and Ichiro had already logged over 1,500 hits in the majors before their debuts.

Still pronating after all these years

its a stupid page 2 article, dont expect those to have any real insight

Dusty?

I guess the question would make sense if every player on this hypothetical team was homegrown and had also never attempted a steal in the minors as well. But since that isn't really ever possible, then I would imagine that the point is that you can look at a lot of players' past history to see whether or not they are a decent base stealer. Someone like Pierre had years and years of data to look at, we didn't need to tell him to try to steal 50 bases for us last year before we knew how good he was at it.

who the hell is the black guy? why cant i figure this out

the newest firefox makes proofreading so much easier.

Monday for me. Prison Break, 24, Heroes and Black Donnelly's, hell yeah

40 reps? are you sure? that's more than most linemen.... 27 reps at 225

No way a RB with a 4.6 goes in the second round, what are you thinking

I agree. If Gallagher is throwing strikes and making them miss this spring, he could start the year at AAA, but it may take an injury or a poor performance from someone else to get there. The Cubs potentially have Guzman, Marshall, Mateo, Shaver, Mathes, Wells & Marmol (both of whom could also start in AA) all competing for rotation spots in Iowa. Shaver and Mathes put up decent numbers at AA last season and logged about twice as many starts there as Wells, Marmol or Gallagher. Either or both of Shaver and Mathes could be moved to the bullpen to make room, I suppose... Good problems to have. Agreed. And think about in a couple years when we have a few more guys ML ready, all these pitching prospects will start to pay off.

It always amazes me to see a 6'7 OT put up 225 30+ times. That's a long way to push a bar.

If she keeps searching under the couch with her back at that angle, she will have posture problems for the rest of her life.

Spring training games don't count. They should. In that case, im not going to be in the pool. Hey, you "mind as well" pick another date, at least.

Yeah, whoever wrote that article sort of added the whole "its better than striking out!" thing on their own, that wasn't Perry.

Are you kidding? "2 yr wonder Wood" has had more than two good years and he was under a longterm contract which is why the team has been patient with him. Kerry Wood wouldn't have survived this long without a tremendous upside. Wade Miller's age, risk level, and small contract make him easily expendable. Add to that diminishing stuff and its a recipe for getting released. what is he 30 now? Do you remember when he was in contention for the Cy Young? risk Level? He pitched five games last year, not much to judge a man on. Kerry is coming in with a torn shoulder, and he over-ruled doctors, he definetly has a risk value and now a low contract. I see Wade as a guy that will get traded and be another Denise Eckersly, but not with the drinking problem. LOL, Wade Miller was never in any serious contention for the Cy Young! He's a year older than Wood and like I said, Kerry was under contract and the fact that he is homegrown comes into play as well. Wade Miller is very easily expendable. Wood's decision to rehab instead of surgery is probably a wise choice. He said he spoke with other players who successfully completed shoulder rehabs instead of going under the knife. Miller does not equal Dennis Eckersly Hope I don't sound too snobby but this is a guy ,wood, who has no formal education beyond High School he has been treated like a spoiled superstar since high school. I can't see an upside to a guy that hasn't finished a season in a cpl of years, home grown or not I got a gut feeling he will let us down again and be on injured list by July. Wood could make it through spring training that one year before his arm went out. I was at that spring training game when it went out, as well as the week before. Wood didn't hustle a bit. Soul searching may just tell me that I like Miller over Wood because of first impressions or it could be because he is injury proned and we payed the smuck 12 mill to sit on last years bench. Christ, you can't spell your name without a box of alphabits nearby, but you're bringing up his education? Yes, the "smuck" was "payed" 12 "mill", but that is the risk with pitchers. We've "payed" Miller more money than me or you will ever see to pitch terribly, what's the difference?

I'm sorry, please elaborate on the mechanics of some other crappy pitcher we don't care about

HE'S A PITCHER FOR GOD'S SAKE
