  1. At least we aren't complaining about RumDum anymore, am I right?
  2. yeah yeah yeah, Cavs win in Auburn Hills It's too bad Gibson got hurt, he seemed to really be blossoming at the point. I really like that Brown doesn't start Snow, and just goes with Hughes, Pavlovic, and James as guards.
  3. I'm going to be all kinds of pissed if Wuertz gets left off the roster again.
  4. The Coors effect comes back this year with the humidity regulations. Beware Colorado pitchers and keep an eye on Rockie hitters.
  5. The Cubs did just fine against RHP last year. LH threats aren't nearly as necessary as overall threats. The Cubs sucked against LHP last year, due largely to players like Jones who were completely worthless against them. But you do need SOME left-handers in your lineup. I'm not saying it has to be 5RH/4LH, or vice-versa. Late in the game against a closer, who in this division are mostly, if not all RH, it would be nice to have some guys from the left side with a little bit of power. I think we need to look at the end result. If you're right handed heavy but your big RH bats can hit right handed pitching very well(Lee and Ramirez can, Soriano doesn't have a heavy platoon split either), then it's not such a large concern. Plus, like Goony said, Pie or Floyd are likely the ones that would replace Jones, and they're both left handed hitters with a sizable platoon split.
  6. Why? If the end result is similar production, why does it matter how intimidating they are at the plate?
  7. I don't think this as anywhere near as certain as you are claiming it to be.
  8. I'm jealous that Nike knows there isn't enough games left in Mizzou's season to ask/make them to do this.
  9. The Florida dude looks like he's about to fight aliens, and the Ohio State dude looks ready to meet her date for the prom. And I'm pretty sure that Syracuse dude just got out of a Mega Man convention.
  10. http://men.style.com/images/news/0307/01/030507h.jpg Wow.
  11. I dont think I can say no fast enough. really, wow, i understand the love of Murton's potential but you get a chance at a player of Ichiro's caliber you have to take it- i think you might be overvalueing Murtons Potential as well as Marshall and Gallagher- they are young unproven commodities- I think i couldnt say yes fast enough( if Ichiro wanted to sign an extension) I think you will find that potential is almost always valued above production when it comes to our prospects. Murton: .297/.365/.444, 103 OPS+, 25 years old, making 6 figures and under team control until the 2012 season Ichiro: .322/.370/.416, 109 OPS+, 33 years old, making 8 figures and a year away from Free Agency And we're adding Jones, Gallagher, and Marshall?
  12. So your overrated if youve never batted lower than .300 in the majors and never had OBP lower than .350 ? and also one of the best outfielders in the game. I didn't say he was a bad player, but the bolded is exactly my point. He's not one of the best outfielders in the game, not even close. It's questionable that he's in the top 30. EDIT: Rereading it I think you were referring to defense, but the point remains about his offense. He's second tier when it comes to his offense. He's a player that relies a lot on speed and he's aging, and he's about to get his last big contract. Stay far away.
  13. Ichiro is one of the more overrated players in the game. There's no way he's worth that package.
  14. Teahen at 3B? Or Upton? I'm far from a fantasy guru, but your OF looks weak to me. How many teams in the league?
  15. Memphis getting a 1 seed would be a joke. Only 8 games against the RPI top 100? And only 5-3 against them? No way to they deserve a top seed.
  16. My first draft this year, 12 team league, standard scoring. I had the 3rd/22nd pick C Michael Barrett 1B Todd Helton 2B Howie Kendrick SS Miguel Tejada 3B Chipper Jones OF Grady Sizemore OF Magglio Ordonez OF Brad Hawpe UTIL Ryan Freel BN Michael Cuddyer BN Mark Teahen BN Troy Tulowitzki BN Jason Kendall (as long as the waiver goes through) SP Johan Santana SP Brandon Webb RP Huston Street RP Joel Zumaya P Rich Hill P Dave Bush P Pat Neshek BN Jesse Crain
  17. Yep, the only team they've played in two months is Gonzaga, who they barely beat. And Gonzaga was just discussed as a team not worthy of an at large. I wonder where they get seeded.
  18. I heard he was throwing Croquet balls 83-85 mph, which is like throwing a baseball 125 mph. Best year eva for Prior.
  19. There's no scouts there? I thought of that, but I'd imagine there's a disconnect between Sullivan sitting amongst the scouts right behind home plate, and then posting a story about it minutes after Prior's day is done. I don't think it adds up.
  20. Someone riddle me this. How does Sullivan know that Prior is in the low to mid 80s when Bruce says there's no gun readouts at the stadium?
  21. I think I've got the game plan down. 1. Beat Baylor 2. Have Berardini take out Durant at the knees(John Cheney old school) 3. Pray that OSU and Texas Tech take out kU and aTm 4. If not, repeat #2 with Anderson Jr. on Law and Dandridge on Julian Wright Your plan is flawed. Julian Wright is made out of rubber. He has no knees. Well, my nickname for Dandridge last year was Gumby, so maybe he can just meld him into a larger, more sucky claymonstrosity.
