2007 Random Ramblings

[Slyder]

Welp the cheapening for long term growth in KC is about complete my team pre FA is:

Everyday players:
Ca Ben Molina 7 5 5 5 8
1b Justin Huber 7 6 6 5 5
2b Mark Grudzelanek 7 8 4 5 7
3b Esteban German 6 8 2 8 6
ss Angel Berroa LHP 8 9 9 3 7/
RHP 6 7 8 3 6
RF David DeJesus 8 9 5 6 6
CF Mitch Maier 7 6 7 4 5
LF Joey Gaithright 7 5 2 4 6
DH Reggie Sanders (vs RHP)6 9 9 5 3/
Ken Harvey(vs LHP) 7 7 8 4 6

Rotation:
Rotation
1 Odalis Perez 6 8 7 7
2 Zach Greinke 7 9 3 8
3 Vince Perkins 8 5 8
4 Scott Elarton 6 8 6 9
5 Mike Wood 6 8 7 8

The Pen and Bench are still works in progress. Pray for me as I shut my eyes as my pitching staff attempts to break records... in the wrong ways Lol. Pre FA Prediction? Under 100 Ls, some development, continual trades to try and improve the future, top pick next year? the season's successful.

I don't think that has much to do with the fact that he's oriental.

Plan on facing Santana and Liriano in the series vs the Twins.

[BrianDawkins]

whiffing on nomar and fat carlos is really gonna hurt my team this year. maybe the worst lineup in the NL, despite having rollins, utley and howard. pitching staff is solid and might be able to carry us to a 4th place finish.

just hoping for a good draft pick, cause thats where i do my damage
