relatively happy with my lineup. im satisfied with my pitching staff, but i truly need them to repeat the years they had last year... not so much perez, i dont expect another 3.08 era year from him... but 3.75 from him as the 2, and 4.10 from sowers and bautista as the 3 and 4, and i think i can be successful.

pretty damn solid team in my opinion. the harangatang/bay makes your team a lot more dangerous.

[BrianDawkins]

you got the best player in the game manning shortstop for you, for the next 14 years... thats all that really matters

the rotation is a little shaky in the latter parts, but i think the bayrangatang helped that enough for you to punk some *****es around... 2008 should be wildcard contention, any time after that and i legitimately fear you

[Hammer]

i think if we're to be feared in the future, we're to be feared now... theres nothing to progress. well, gordon and villegas could always get MORE POWER, but other than that... everybody is pretty fairly developed and has gone through the youthful growing pains. except levinski i guess... but **** him, i wanna get another starter anyway.

[BrianDawkins]

you always got the 3rd year jump going for you. i tend to get those a lot in ootp. and at that rate, villegas will hit .418 with 45 HRs and 160 RBIs in 2009.
