2009 Random Ramblings

[Kingdom]

Well, there's a couple. One's a scrub, by all accounts should be lucky he even gets an offer, let alone a single dollar, and he turned a team away. The other guy is surprising cause he seems to have no preference... that being Haruhiro

[redsrbetter]

The bottom line:

Pads win the World Series the next 10 years.

Who wants to be first on the Dan Meyer for 2009 AL Cy Young Bandwagon?

[browntown653]

Incredible. Three teams without a GM (Washington, Baltimore, Detroit) go a combined 21-6 and are 2-4 in the Power Rankings.

TAMPA BAY AT 5-4! WOOHOO
Batting AVG: .285 (3rd)
Homeruns: 8 (T-7th)
Walks: 36 (3rd)
Stolen Bases: 14 (6th)
Runs Scored: 63 (1st)

Pitching ERA: 3.89 (13th)
Opponents AVG: .243 (9th)
HRs Allowed: 9 (T-20th)
Walks Allowed: 29 (22nd)
Runs Allowed: 40 (12th)

Most runs scored is tremendous. I could definitely live with a 3.89 ERA. And I told you Poulin for ROY...well he's tearing it up so far.

Not sure how long I can keep it up... I'd ideally like a right fielder, a closer, another MR, and a 5th starter before the post season...

[Providence A's]

season ending injuries coupled with talent loss to your top rated hitter and CF are the best!

[realmofotalk]

I offer you my condolesences, even though my team is poorer than yours.

[Providence A's]

I offer you my condolesences, even though my team is poorer than yours.

poorer in a financial sense, but we do have the same record.

oh, and Figgins is out for a week, too. My offense can't afford injuries.

[DMBZeppelin]

Well my World Series hang over begins. My offense isn't doing anything. My best hitter average wise is on the bench. Teo Pena took a contact talent hit. It's down to 7, and his actuals are still 8 RHB and 9 against LHB. While I like him a lot. For all I know his actuals will stick. With how bad my team is I can't afford that chance. Cubbies are looking to do some trades.

[Halladay_is_God]
