    IMO, in no particular order: Yankees Rays Toronto Angels Rangers A's Tigers Nats Phillies Braves Giants Dodgers Cards Reds Orioles That's 15
  2. a700hitter
    Just because he's likely to make less of a fuss than Lackey. It's very possible That Lackey needs to stay in Florida when camp breaks.
  3. a700hitter
    He was an entertaining character. RIP
  4. a700hitter
    Nats are pretty darn strong. Angels are stacked with talent on both sides of the ball. Our roster is bottom half.
  5. a700hitter
    I don't think we can compete with the Rangers, and I still like the A's pitching better than ours.

    You guarantee Marcum a spot and use Doubs as a long man. Before the middle of May, Doubs will be getting starts, because someone will be injured or s***ing himself.
  7. a700hitter
    People pay too much attention to the offense because it is "sexy".
  8. a700hitter
    The offense will be just fine if Ortiz has 2 sound legs.
  9. a700hitter
    The West Division is much stronger. We'd get our clocks cleaned in that Division. It would be really ugly.
  10. a700hitter
    We don't know what Barnes will be. Let's wait to see if he can dominate AA before we start penciling him into the ML rotation. We have a thin rotation as it is. We don't have an ace. An injury to our staff would be more crippling than an injury to a team that has a couple of studs at the top of the rotation. I differ with your conclusion. I think that in addition to the the Rays, the Jays now have better depth. The Yankees always have better depth. The O's staff is unspectacular, but they a bunch of guys who can step in and take starts and give some decent innings at the ML level. We are thin. The pitching problem has never been addressed adequately in two off seasons. If Salty is our primary catcher, I see little hope of a marked improvement.
  11. a700hitter
    I have given up hope of getting Jones. This guy is a tremendous value. We pay Salty the same amount and he sucks in comparison. This guy is every bit as tall as Salty too.
  12. a700hitter
    It's probably a safe bet that 1 of the pitchers misses significant time. That would be an improvement over recent years. When a guy goes down, we don't have ML ready depth to stp in and take a start every 5 days. Morales is not the guy. He is a stop gap spot starter. The guy has never tossed 100 innings in a season. He's not up to taking a regular turn.
  13. a700hitter
    And he wasn't exactly Adam Wainright before the surgery.
  14. a700hitter
    A move like that would catapult them into contention IMO.
  15. a700hitter
    I didn't think you were arguing. I was just wondering what you thought of their chances if they had seasons like the ones I posted.
  16. a700hitter
    Maybe it is just a way to liven up a slow news day.
  17. a700hitter
    This year's off season thread was created on August 20 by SFF, one of TalkSox's most positive and optimistic posters. Realistically, our season was over 2 weeks prior to the thread.
  18. a700hitter
    Hopefully, our offseasons doesn't start in August like it did last year. The problem with sucking as bad as we did last season is that our hot stove started in August. It's a looong time to March from August.
  19. a700hitter
    So, under the scenario that I pose, they don't have a chance to get to the post season?
  20. a700hitter
    What if Lester is 15-10 with a 4.15 ERA and 200 innings and Buchholz is 13-7 with a 3.85 ERA over 195 innings, where would that put the team, because I would be very happy to get that production out of them?
  21. a700hitter
    I am not quite sure why this is such a scandal that it is the lead story of every news show. If he made up the whole story and it put him over the top to win the Heisman, that would be a scandal. He didn't win the Heismanl, so why is this garbage front page news. If this was his doing, what did he do? He made up a girlfriend with a fictional life. Other athletes beat, abuse and sexually assault woman, girlfriends and wives, but that isn't the lead story on every news show. He made up a story that his fictional girlfriend got into a very serious car accident. Other athletes get DUI'd and DWI'd fairly regularly and some even cause fatalities, but that is never the lead story on every news show. He made up a story that his fictional girlfriend died of leukemia. A KC Chief Player killed his girlfriend and himself and that story would have fast faded from the news cycle except that Bob Costas turned it into a gun control issue. Why the heck does this stupid story have such legs?
  22. a700hitter
    IMO, Chris Capuano would be a good depth option and the Dodgers have no spot for him.
  23. a700hitter
    However they stack the lineup, it should be competitive. The question is whether the starting pitching will be competitive. Lackey coming off TJ and Dempster will be replacing Beckett and Bard from the start of last year. Darnell McDonald would be a huge upgrade over Bard. Beckett is a better pitcher than Lackey or Dempster. I am not seeing that the starting pitching has improved enough to be competitive. Farrell is coming in at an opportune time. The starting pitching couldn't suck more than it did last year. If they improve, he gets the credit. If not, no one can blame him. IMO, if Salty catches 110 games or more, the starters will struggle.
  24. a700hitter
    If Ortiz is healthy, he has to hit in the first inning. Your best hitter should be hitting #3 everyday.
  25. a700hitter
    If it was just a meniscus/cartilage scope job, he should be ready for opening day. If it was a reconstruction, that's another story.
