The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner; now *I* am the master.

There is nothing closer than the title of Chicago #2. CREATiVESPORTS - Kastner: 121.0. PACO THYME: 121.0. 1.) If the combination of Jason Kubel and Joe Mauer have one more RBI than Miguel Cabrera then CREATiVESPORTS will get a half point. If the combination of Kubel and Mauer have two or more RBI th...

Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: Alexie Ramirez, 3rd round pick? Why, why not? His inability to walk drags down his stolen bases and runs. His poor success rate stealing could lead to him getting a red light. I'm just not a fan of his. He is too raw. [ February 17, 2009, 07:30 PM: Message edited by: ...

The Mets bullpen improvements will give him several six-inning victories. 2) Bedard - Somewhere in-between Maine and Harang. ...

Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: The comment about Becketts curve being among the top three is interesting. Is it because of his fastball setting it up or are you talking just the curveball itself? Who are the other two pitchers? Baseball America's September 8th issue gave Beckett the best overall cu...

Originally posted by FFBL23: Which of the following has a bigger year: Votto, N. Cruz, or J. Bruce? Cruz comes last. He was designated for assignment on March 25th of last year and cleared waivers. Of all the teams that needed outfield or DH help on the cheap and no one took up Cruz? Let the Major L...

Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: Rank- Lackey, Beckett, Shields, Cl Lee and why. I would put Beckett first. A mid-90's fastball and one of the top three curve balls in the game. Second is Shields. He induces ground outs to one of the best defenses. That was the big change between 2008 and 2007. Third...

Originally posted by JohnZ: Thoughts on Alex Gordon?? Mike Jacobs?? Gordon should have spent the 2007 season in Triple-A. There was on-base growth last year, but he is not a candidate for the third Major League season breakout rule. .270/18/10 Jacobs will play every day. No change from park effect. ...

I have a few answers to previous questions as well. I am confident that Rickey Nolasco was no fluke last year. He developed a split finger and things went better for him. Instead of two plus pitches, he has three and that is the difference between a #4 or #5 starter or a #1 or #2. I agree with Buste...

Originally posted by eddiejag: Your up in the 15th round and have a balanced team with just 2 outfielders.These four are still on the board ,please explain the order of your selection's. Mike Cameron Chase Headley Jeff Francoeur Jose Gullien I would start with Cameron. He hit 25 HR and stole 17 desp...

Originally posted by eddiejag: WHO's the closer in Detroit,ST Louis,and Seattle. Jim Leyland has said that they won't use a committee, so Brandon Lyon has the best chance. I've always felt that Joel Zumaya would have the job if he could just stay healthy enough to pitch. There is a battle in St. Lou...
