    That's as accurate of assessment I've seen of Gordon this season. Right on the money.

    I love Ginn, but would definitely stay away from him. He just is not utilized enough by Tressel in the offense to be a difference maker for your fantasy roster. Also, I wouldn't be surprised to see him playing more as a DB next season as he tries to line himself up to be a top pick taken (Bailey and Chaz Woodson being the last couple "two way" players I can recall being taken. They made their names for themselves on D, and I think Ginn will be utilized more there.) And raisin, you'll only get one season out of whoever you choose: Johnson and Ginn will be first round locks by this time next season (barring miserable injury of course).

    That MVP that Mo Vaughn won in 1995 over Albert Belle was an absolute crock.

    Awesome! :roll:

    Mickey has got game. The only thing I'd be worried about is his size and strength. He might get pushed around a little bit by bigger guards in the conference. Great shooter and very athletic, but a little too small to probably be an impact player. Can't really run the point all that well. And I hope I"m wrong, because I love seeing Proviso guys play on the next level. I really hope Carlwell is an impact player at U of I.

    Belle has well over 100 points on Puckett in career OPS: Kirby: .833 Belle: .963 That is a huge discrepancy. Kirby got in cuz he was such a media darling. Belle will be held out because he wasn't one.

    USC is going for a THREEPEAT in the AP Poll. Such an inferiority complex by the LSU fans. I'm so glad they got exposed in the SEC title game. GEAUX TROJANS AND CANES!

    Aldridge is a beast.

    I love MSU on offense, not so much so on defense. Luke Winn of SI wrote a tremendous piece about how defense has been very integral to team success in the tourney last season. MSU's defensive efficiency is pretty awful. If they become even good on D, I agree, they'll be a very tough out in the tourney. And I like guys like Shannon Brown, he was a helluva player in HS and a joy to watch and heckle all the time because he'd have fun with the crowd.

    I think they have plenty. I would start with the reffing if I were them. Is Michigan even in a bowl game if they don't get questionable calls by the refs in the PSU game? I'm asking because I legitimately do not know.

    Who knew, TOSU jumps right onto this topic? :lol: :wink: I cannot wait til we play the Irish. Tressel's gameplan has to be exploiting matchups with Ginn. He cannot let that game end without at least 15 OFFENSIVE touches for him. He'll light up that porous D. And if we lose, which we won't, I'll be back here after coming back from the Bulls game, ironically enough going to the game with a Michigan fan (it all comes back full circle) taking my lumps from the ND Cheerleaders. I remember saying something along the lines of "I hope you enjoy losing" to the PSU faithful prior to that matchup. What happened? OSU lost 17-10 and I stopped in and admitted the better team won. GO BUCKEYES!

    I would put him in simply because he was one of the most dominant hitters of the 1990's. Close third behind Ken Griffey Jr. and Frank Thomas (and right there with Jeff Bagwell, another HOF'er) I think him being a jag to the media will hurt his chances, though. Incredible numbers for a 7 year span for Joey B. Belle Avg. HR RBI OBP SLG Runs 1993 .290 38 129 .370 .552 93 1994 .357 36 101 .438 .714 90 1995 .317 50 126 .401 .690 121 1996 .311 48 148 .410 .623 124 1997 .274 30 116 .332 .491 90 1998 .328 49 152 .399 .655 113 1999 .297 37 117 .400 .541 108 Career .295 381 1239 .369 .564 974

    Lets play a game: Guess the Michigan's fans response: Excuses? No response?

    Or with these figures, PSP Man: 06:$7M, 07:$7.5M, 08:$8.5M

    Vance, not that I'm doubting you, but I'm searching for that info on Vidro and cannot find it in any recent updates with regards to Vidro. Do you have a link for that?
  16. Mark_R
    That last one was mine a week ago, and it seems fair to me. That Yankee trade is wretched.
  17. Mark_R
    Vidro didn't have surgery on his knee in the offseason? And he's going to play for Puerto Rico? This is such a disaster waiting to happen. I would be absolutely shocked if he plays more than 80 games next season. And then its hello Neifi for 80 games.
  18. Mark_R
    Vidro is pretty good, but doesn't he have some chronic problem either in his knees or in his back? That's not something I'd give up something decent for. And at, what, 9 million a season? Easy pass.
  19. Mark_R
    What are your thoughts on Corey Patterson?
  20. Mark_R
    Would this be your argument if Derrek Lee played for the Cardinals and had come off an OPS season over 1 and The Cubs had the crappy Junior Spivey who is three years removed from his one good season? Somehow, I doubt it.
  21. Mark_R
    Is someone legitimately using Bigbie's scouting report from when he was drafted as pertinent information? Wow.
  22. Mark_R
    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    I love watching great football. USC rocks.

    Stay strong fellow Pack fan. At least we know we suck this year :D
  25. Mark_R
