i cant help that im surrounded by people who dont understand what a mock draft means.
-
another option: melvin mora. defense wouldn't be good though. then again neither is theriots -
It wasn't personal, and I didn't swear. I posted stars, apparently.

Will the offense be nice? They were the worst in the AL last year. Are Swisher and Cabrera really going to make up that much of a difference? Dont forget about Carlos Quentin, and a full year of Josh Fields. Their offense should be better just by not playing Darrin Erstad so much, but they have no chance in that division. Are they sticking Quentin in center? i think the plan is to play swisher mostly in center. no [expletive], thanks capt'n obvious. you missed the point

we filled the spots easily last year.

isnt Mallett transferring to UCLA?

Jack Wilson isn't really an upgrade for Ryan Theriot and Lil Ronny. There are some interesting trade candidates out there: Bobby Crosby - Sucked the last few years, injury prone but a quality buy low candidate who could be had for a marginal prospect, I think. Wilson Betemit - No full time job any time soon in NYY. Perhaps we can send a decent prospect to them that Minnesota covets to complete a trade for Santana. Has played SS sparingly in his career, he'd be no worse than Theriot defensively. Felipe Lopez - bottomed out last season after two 350 OBP seasons. Still 27, so he's likely to return to his level of production. He's out of a starting gig with Guzman and Belliard in town. I'd give the Meph Stamp of Approval to acquiring any of those three guys This isn't true, but w/e. Keep being ignorant and oblivious to the truth if you want.

i know there is interest, just click on the fantasy sports board kids

Very possibly. Texas and USF are the likely candidates if that happens. But you're the one who had them ranked 17th when they were 11-1 and getting beaten by VTech, so I don't know if you're an authority on KU football. They'll lose to OU, Mizzou, Texas and one of {USF, Tech, KSU, Nebraska} They will win three of four from the last set though.

they will lose 4 games

Florida finished at #13. Biggest jumps from outside the top ten to preseason top five the next year in the AP poll the last few seasons 2006: #14 - #4 Auburn 2005: #13 - #3 Tennessee 2005: #14 - #4 Michigan 2005: #16 - #5 LSU 2004: #11 - #5 Florida State There's precedent for Florida to move into the top five and they certain will (and should) given the lack of graduation this year for them.

i never placed florida higher than sixth (since the auburn loss)

Saragin =/= Meph

i fully expect the A's to win at least 75 or 76 games next year. The Royals? not so much.
-
I never had them number one. I've maintained that LSU was better than them all season long, as well as Oklahoma. They return everybody and their mother. There's no reason they shouldn't beat top 2 or 3. The UGA/UF game next season will likely feature the #1 and #2 teams in the country when it goes down.

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/fbc07.htm wow the sec was really head and shoulders above everyone this year. the 2.5 difference between the typical sec team and the typical pac 10 team (the #2 conference) was the biggest spread this century. The difference between the SEC and the #3 conference was bigger than the difference between the worst BCS conference and the MWC.
-
i didnt say they were the best team this year. not once. i also said they werent the best team last year..next year though they'll be loaded. it should be pretty obvious, if not you're just not paying attention. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/fbt07.htm
-
we all know floridas going to be the best team next year
-
EqA, OBP, and a few other things. It doesn't matter if its dempster or not, hart sucks. who ever we put there would be at least 20 runs worse than marshall. i didnt project RA, just RS. A trade for Burnett would probably keep our pitching production near its 2007 level (~700 RA). A trade for Bedard w/o Hill would do about the same. Theyre interchangeable. Id prefer Burnett myself. 839.4 runs, + 14.1

this is a lot like last years game osu jumps out early showing speed, SEC team turns it on afterwards.

Okay using my system using this lineup (most of the time) Name, POS - PT% 1. Soriano, LF - 90% 2. Fukudome, RF - 90% 3. Lee, 1B - 90% 4. Ramirez, 3B - 80% 5. DeRosa, 2B - 75% 6. Soto, C - 66% 7. Theriot, SS - 75% 8. Pie, CF - 90% predicts 811.5 Runs Scored which shows: RA - Wins 700 - 91.8 720 - 89.7 750 - 86.8 With the trade, this: 1. Roberts 90% 2. Fukudome 90% 3. Lee 90% 4. Ramirez 80% 5. Soriano 90% 6. Soto 66% 7. Theriot 75% 8. Pie 90% predicts 825.2 runs: 700 93.0 720 90.9 750 88.0 so a 13.8 run increase and about 1.2 win increase. Not significant by any stretch of the imagination. Using Marshall as an SP and leaving Dempster in the pen ought to move our projected runs allowed from ~750 to ~725. It's a better scenario. Vote no on Roberts.

dammit.

my god i cant type. i completely forgot to type ...bedard has never ....
