Bernero: The Next Herges?
Oh yes people will be drafting closers early next year...it is a disease...just like fatty snacks and marriage...you know what the risks are but you just keep going back!

Power Outage
Thanks, Dave.
Thought I was losing it for a minute there. Thought I would have to relent and start playing (SHUDDER!) Fantasy Football!
The horror...the horror...

Power Outage
I recognize I did not draft any real huge power studs like Pujols or Roberts, but I did think I drafted a solid team of a few 30+ candidates (Matsui, Rolen, Green) with 15 to 20+ pop (Millar, Ibanez, Vidro, Posada, Casey, Cruz) and more with double digit potential (Renteria, Stewart). Dispute if you...

KYLE DAVIES - SP ATL
Actually, the kid was really impressive in spring training and was pitching well in the minors. He reminds Bobby Cox of Greg Maddux.

D in Dotel stands for DL
I hear you MGBMARTY. The last couple of weeks Herges hasn't been bad, but has not been striking anyone out either. Not sure if they will give him the ball if he can't reach back for a little extra and get that much needed K. I am holding on (like you more out of embarassment than anything else) and ...

Frustration
Oh, yes. Situational frustration, MLB managers leaving my starters in for the 7th, 8th, or 9th inning after they have reached 100+ pitches like yesterday with Eaton. Big lead, 100+ pitches, and he gets one out in the 7th, but allows a run and three base runners. Doooh! :rolleyes:

Frustration
My big frustration is lack of wins from my starting pitching. The five (Eaton, Capuano, Lowe, Millwood, and Bush) that I have used the most (four have been in the entire season) have YTD combined stats of: 250.0 IP, 40 GS, 246 H, 68 BB, 97 ER. This generates 180 K's, 3.492 ERA, and a 1.256 WHIP. Not...

Mixed emotions
Eaton, Capuano, Bush
22.2 IP, 19 H, 0 BB, 16 K, 6 ER, 2.382 ERA, 0.838 WHIP.
No complaints, but this is how my season is going. Great stats, only one win out of three quality starts.

Originally posted by Edwards Kings: It is early and I got Casey way too early, but I think (a common two word combination that my wife snickers at frequently) is minimum .300+ 20HR, 85 R, and 85 RBI's.

Scott Podsednik And Stolen Bases
I have never been a fan of Podsednik (one of those one dimensional criticizers), but the most amazing thing to me is the .387 OBP. When he stole 70 last year, it was a less than marginal .313. Some were saying his power numbers would be up given his home ball park. That hasn't shown, but who cares! ...

Best way to blow a season.
On Rolen, yes, there were concerns about his shoulder (as there were concerns over Pujols foot, etc.) But this injury I think can be considered a bit freakish...after all, what are the odds of running into a Korean brick wall way over here in the US! I do not have Schmidt, and yes he has an injury h...

Best way to blow a season.
I do not know about the worst, but in this early part of the season, I certainly did not expect Rolen, Renteria, Dotel, Casey, and Matsui to be THIS bad. There is still time to turn it around (thats right, Wayne, keep telling yourself that).

Gekko,

So few things
Seven is the right number for me. Yes, the FA pool is thin after the first few weeks when people cull their late round draft foul ups, but seven allows a little space for a DL and/or a project (ML) or two. One more roster spot will not alleviate serious DL problems. There will always be someone want...
