    gonna have to rethink the tigers winning anything. that bullpen may be the worst in baseball with todd jones anchoring it.


    zumaya and rodney are on the shelf with jason grilli next in line?

    at least cleveland has betancourt when borowski does his borowski impression.

    of course the astros bullpen isnt much better than anyones. valverde could get 40 saves or go back to not being able to throw a strike for 5 months and sent down.

    40 saves would mean the astros win at least 40 games. nevermind.

    AL East = Boston
    AL Central = Cleveland
    AL West = Seattle
    Wild Card = New York Yankees

    AL MVP = Alex Rodriguez
    AL Cy Young = Justin Verlander

    NL East = NY Mets
    NL Central = Chicago
    NL West = Arizona
    NL Wild Card = Philly

    NL MVP = Ryan Howard
    NL Cy Young = Johan Santana

    Mets vs Mariners

    Mets win World Series

    Smart man:thumb:. I've been telling people the same thing. I don't care how good that lineup is, you have to have a bullpen to hold the lead for you. This may mean the beginning of the end for mr. verlander if he's asked to pitch into the 8th inning every start.

    nice typo



    also, lemme rethink LAAAAAAA. escobar is done for the season/career, lackey is out at least a month and shields is going to be on the dl since he is hiding an injury.

    i think im changing my AL central and west picks due to injuries.

    The escobar injury is huge, but Weaver is looking fantastic this spring and seems poised to be closer to his 2006 form than '07. If only all of Ervin Santana's starts could be in Anahiem...

    Santana will lay waste to the NL this season and for years to come.

    A 2.80 ERA suddenly becomes a 2.20 ERA.

    Enjoy his dominance.
