Prizes? Or bragging rights?

We don't need to acquire Benitez though. In all honesty he's not any better than Timlin or Donnelly. His acquisition would be redundant.

Armando Benitez isn't worth the dump I took this morning.

Meatball and Mozzarella in one of those Sub rolls.

My bracket is in, I don't want to think about it anymore. Oregon UCLA Georgetown Ohio State

Look, this isn't f***ing Joakim Noah. This is an unbelievable talent at the center position. If there wasn't a league age minimum, he'd be in the NBA already. He's not going to turn down millions of dollars to stay in school. What if someone rolls up on his knee next year? I say that he's 95% to go right now, 100% if Ohio State makes the FF.

Man, people really don't like Tavarez. 4.47 ERA in almost 100 innings pitched. Why, that's league average and he gave Tito flexibility in the pen! Look, he's not the greatest. That's why he's a middle reliever. But he's not as bad as say, Jason Johnson, Kyle Snyder, or Rudy Seanez. I also have questions as to his usage by Tito.

Except statistics have biases that can skew the results of your findings, one of the biggest being small sample size. Where were you right again?

lolz @ u

What site is this on?

I don't want to do the whole Loretta/Pedroia argument. I think Pedroia will be better in the field and with the stick that Loretta was last year. I also think anyone who doesn't want Adam Dunn on their team needs to get their head checked.

Adam Dunn hit .234 last year. Mark Loretta hit .285. Which would you rather have on your team? Or, if we're comparing positions, Youkilis hit .279.

I said they aren't the best stats. Certainly you could use them to shape some picture of a player, but it's not the be all and end all that most people think.

Yeah, Pass on Benitez please.

I'm having a tough time picking a couple of the 1st round games, any insights would be great. MIDWEST Butler/ODU - I like ODU, but is Butler returns to early season form they can be dangerous. UNLV/Ga Tech - I like the athleticism of GT, but will their inexperience hurt them? WEST Southern Illinois/Holy Cross - SIU struggles to score points and HC is perenially a very disciplined team. SIU can really defend though and if they can get some offense they can make a run...I'm leaning SIU's way here. Duke/VCU - Every bone in my body is saying VCU here...but it is Duke we're talking about. EAST - The toughest region IMO Marquette/Mich. St - If Marquette's guards are healthy, they can be dangerous. Dominic James is an awesome talent. Oral Roberts/WSU - Not sold at all on WSU, but I don't have full confidence in picking Oral Roberts, either. OR did hang around with Memphis a bit last year, but can they use the experience to their advantage? SOUTH Virginia/Albany - See my previous post. Louisville/Stanford - I don't think Stanfford should even be in the tournament, and yet here they get a team in Louisville that they are very capable of beating. Stanford has some talented interior players and could beat Louisville. Nevada/Creighton - I like Nevada and I think they have the potential to make a run, but they bombed in the tourny last year and aren't completely healthy.

It's very wide open, and that's why there will be upsets. Is anyone starting a pool BTW?

There's no doubt Durant is impressive. All I'm saying is I think Oden has the more NBA-ready physique.

FINAL FOUR Georgetown Oregon Ohio State Virginia Tech Don't hold me to these predictions, I still have to look at the brackets a little closer. But I think the eventual NCAA Champions are going to be... ....THE GEORGETOWN HOYAS
