You're taking a guy with a playoff ERA (after 1 inning) of 18.00 as your ace ???



Hope you didn't jinx him. :D

[/QUOTE]I jinxed him when I said $28 in AL LABR in 2008. :D I want those projected stats I had for him and will just take them in 2009.



Someone e-mailed me and said it was a bad pick. :D Hey, I thought we were just having fun here!!! I better buckle down here. :D

Sorry, I was freezing at a high school football game last night with the kids. 29 degrees on Oct. 3rd. I'm too old for this weather up here.



I've added Torii Hunter above, hoping for a return to form. H2H PM'd me his pick of Jermaine Dye.
