    Woo CSU! In major conference tourney news, BP has Pomeroy's conference tournament probabilities up here. Indiana has a 0.3% chance of winning the Big Ten tourney, which is apparently better than Iowa State and Colorado, who have a statistically insignificant chance of winning the Big 12.

    Rule 5 Lefty He's done real well so far this spring. 5.1 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 6/0 K/BB

    Even if you think Fukudome is going to continue to be awful, there's no reason to put Theriot in the second spot over Fontenot against RHP(which is really what we're talking about, since Fontenot and Fukudome won't be playing against LHP). V. RHP Theriot 2008: .308/.379/.355/.734 Theriot career: .286/.350/.351/.702 Fontenot 2008: .302/.393/.518/.911 Fontenot career: .298/.379/.473/.852 Fontenot is projected to be a better hitter by every projection system as well. Plus, considering Soriano and Lee are pretty entrenched at 1st and 3rd in the order, it breaks up R-L-R like Lou loves so much. Against LHP, Theriot and Johnson are both capable options, and you can probably justify either of them hitting 2nd with the other hitting 7th.

    Xavier Florida St. Illinois Gonzaga
  5. Transmogrified Tiger
    Gonzaga has the 31st but is in the S-Curve.

    I know stuff has happened since then, but there were a lot of people who thought Heilman was a great trade target a year or so ago. He's got good stuff and was a 1st round pick. It's weird that he went so quickly from sleeper pitcher we should go after to mediocre junk that we got saddled with.

    We're still pretending DeRosa's contract needed to be moved to acquire Peavy.

    No, the list of 16 is for seeding, the list of 8 is for inclusion.

    It's what they do in College Baseball.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    Fox would be significantly worse than Barrett. It's not a "he can't block pitches as well as others" sort of thing, it's a "he can't catch the ball" sort of thing.
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    I liked Cal, the first time through, I had them around 5-6 on my bubble, but took a 2nd look and bumped em out. i don't understand what your bubble is, you have 16 locks and 8 bubble teams, there are a lot more teams that make the tourney than that. That's what Bukie asked for those participating to submit.
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    All depends on what you have to give up to get longoria. He already said the net would be Phillips for Longoria with his other keepers not being affected.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    I'd trade for Longoria. Whiffing on a second choice 3B may cost you more than whiffing on a second choice 2B.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    What was he hitting on the gun against the Netherlands?
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    As you get closer to the regular season, the starters pitch more and more innings, leaving less time for the relievers, who also pitch more frequently. Regardless of any rhetoric, there was zero chance of Cashner making the team, and he wasn't effective early in camp. Demoting him, even at this time, is a non-issue.
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    I don't think anyone put Kyle Gibson's slider in play tonight. They were only playing Ball State, but still, he could've thrown that thing 100 times and gotten 20 K's. Instead he got 13 K's in 8 IP, with 6 hits and 1 walk netting BSU 1 run.
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    Is that LSU and Utah State?
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    Jon Heyman can't seem to make up his mind. Here he says it's 75 or fewer days on the DL, not 75 games played. Also, Gordon Wittenmeyer called it a multi-layered set of clauses, so it may not be so straight forward.
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    Those pitch counts aren't really anything super worrisome. He's giving up less than a baserunner per inning, so he's spending the majority of his pitches in the windup. Plus, college starters get more rest between starts(although the second start being on 3 days rest isn't too smart), this last outing was on 9 days rest.
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    Judging by your location...Coffman fan? Very much so. But even leaving Coffman aside, Pettigrew is essentially a guard with good hands. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing, but it seems to me that there's lots of guys around who can do the same thing. I'd want a TE that can go get the ball in the red zone if you're taking one that high.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when it comes to TEs. Pettigrew is completely fungible.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    Blake Griffin got Jordan rules treatment and still ran out of steam. I have no idea why they were having him help break the press, but he was done with about 10 minutes to play in the game.
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    20-9 while playing one of the hardest schedules in the country should be a lock. What if they're 21-11 after a first game loss to Providence in the tournament next week? Or worse, they drop that game to DePaul? They'll likely be 1-7 against the Top 25 and 4-8 against the Top 50 going into the Big East tournament. I'm probably just more conservative than most, but to me a lock has to be able to lose the rest of their games and still get in. I don't think WVU can do that, or even be 100% safe at 21-11 considering they have 2 wins to hang their hat on for the whole season.
