good we dont need unloyal fans like you... What drove you away the FO actually wanting to spend money and make the team better, have fun rooting for the horrible Pirates.
As a closer Paps had three pitches... He used his slider alot and it was very effective. He has also showcased a curveball that with a little work could be very good.
Actually in his starts in 05, he hit 95-96 when he had to. He obviously wont do it every pitch but, if he needs to he can. As for Wallace, the whole pitching staff was better under Nipper this season I dont know if that has anything to do with Wallace's return or not.
I dont know who Co Co is, but as for Coco I think last year was an aberation and he we will see a much more solid offensive year from him. I expect .300 avg between 13-16 Hrs and 30 steals.
Willy Mo had 11 Jacks in 276 ABs, so if you double that to about 540 or so, he hits 22 HRS. Why is everyone so convinced that he Will be a 40 HR hitter, that takes patience at the plate, he does not have that.
Manny is a very underated outfielder who plays a solid out there. How many times during a season do we actually talk about Manny D. Only the national guys who dont really know what they are talking about. Anyways I would take Lee or Soriano if right field anyday of the week.
good move, before his injury last season he was our 2nd most consistent starter. He was also our ace 2 years ago. I expect if healthy 12-15 wins with a 4.00 ERA and 200 innings
