Now THAT is some junk !

[DOUGHBOYS]

Not so fast there, Phillie Phanatic!

Those three only got six more wins than CJ Wilson/Lewis/Harrison last year.
Two of those guys went past the middle of NFBC Drafts!
Although the better arms are in PhiLand, the better team resides deep in the heart of Texas.

BAH! You and your facts !

you better be careful or you'll be speaking fluent numerish w/ Todd, Wayne, Bjoak & the other accountants

(deep inside I fear you are right and to be perfectly honest as a Phillie fan, I'm nervous)

[headhunters]

phillies don't win 85 games. texas wins 100- and finsishes second to the magics. hosmer= higher batting average than tex- check. more sb's- check. sounds like 2007 when i joined this great game and looney tunes was all the rage. well- at least no more missouri missouri posts to read because each non missouri missouri pick is that persons exception. you either are our you aren't. looks like we lost a member.

[headhunters]

btw- i hope #1 refers to mlb and not pcl. cuddy= no. starts slow- but when hot weather comes he will be a beast.

phillies don't win 85 games.

I'd love to wager a 2013 ME entry fee on that one...

[DenverDan]

1. Nolan Arenado will put up better numbers than Harper or Trout

I hope your right, I drafted Arenado in all 5 of my drafts 28th round or below. Of course with a name like DenverDan maybe I'm just a "homer" but I think for this year Arenado puts up much better numbers than Trout or Harper. He's going to get a shot, the other 2 may only be September call ups.
