His FB, I am convinced, will never get back to 99-101 like it was in 2007. But he's showing a lot of 96mph and had a slider the other day at 92mph. If he is back in that range, then he'll be untouchable. I do expect him to be less consistent then Sori or Mo, but that 3 pitcher combo should be dominant
-
Lots of lefties in the lineup and his first start of the season. He showed good stuff and threw a ton of strikes. I have said before that I expect Nova to have a 4.50ERA this yr, and he lived up to it exactly. This is the kind of team I expected to light him up. Regardless, our 7-8-9 in the pen look ridiculous. Anyone who can get through 6 with a lead is gonna get a win

1991. Strawberry left the Mets and I started watching Mattingly. Little did I know the Yanks had so much history. After seeing the Mets play in 2 WSs and seeing the Yanks suck, I thought I was rooting for a bottom feeder. I was pretty young
-
Then the strikezone shrank on Valencia there. Regardless, I'll take 3-1 and I was very happy to see Nova look so good
-
Nova was money today. Nothing other than 2 2 run taters and Nova makes it stick. We'll be handing Mo a lead, which is all you can ask for

The Tobin Bridge is calling....JUMP

Iglesias is a headliner prospect in a package for Felix? Cmon now. Kalish might be, although he never appeared in the top 100 in BA either. Remember, Montero is considered a top 5 prospect in all of baseball. The sox dont have that kind of headliner
-
The sox don't have the goods to make this trade...yet. They are missing a headliner prospect, which I think Ranaudo may become but isn't yet
-
Paps is a FA after te season. He gets you nothing

Official College Basketball '10-'11 Thread

It was impressive how the UConn men could beat Kentucky while playing one of their worst games of the yr. If Kemba actually shows up tonight, UConn will be hanging their third banner -
Really, the only thing of interest to take from this series is that the Rangers can hit. The sox are gonna hit. Lester will eventually pitch to Cy Young level and Lackey will be giving innings. I was intrigued to see how Buch would respond this season. His line wasnt awful, but for a guy who only gave up 9 homers all yr, giving up 4 in his first game has to sound off some sort of alarm, especially since he gets so much downward movement on his pitches. It is probably just an odd start, but that is the only cause for concern through 3 games. The other stuff will sort itself out
-
What's worse, though? Living in a shithole with teams that are continuously beaten by a drum, or living in a shithole and getting to pick whichever team in the country to root for?
-
Thinking that and having it backed up by facts are two different things. The entire city of Cleveland should purge themselves of sports teams so they can minimize their suicide rate
-
Oh my goodness, they got super duper close to making the playoffs, hot diggity. Dude, that entire city has got to have the highest average draft position of all time. When you continuously draft in the top 10 yr after yr, you should be good. The only top pick they swung for the fences on (James) was even from the area and he couldnt wait to get the f*** out of there. The only interesting thing about Cleveland is that they are so awful, even the bodies of water found a way to kill themselves and turn water combustible
-
Cleveland could be the worst sports city ever. Browns, Guardians, and Cavs...WOW. Talk about futility
-
Being 24 is irrelevant. He's under contract for 3 seasons of prime performance at nearly 20 million per season. It's a contract that half of all baseball teams can afford at face value, then when considering current payroll restraints, many cannot. Montero, Brackman, Marshall, and Adams would be an absolutely ridiculous haul and a LOT more than what the Yanks offered for Lee. You guys need to remember that top 5 prospects dont typically get traded either.
-
Even if DiceK walks 6 batters, someone needs to bring them in, and hold down the sox offense, and play defense, and coach, and well, you know, play baseball. The sox could sleepwalk their way to a series win and if they play to their potential will sweep the series
-
The problem is, the guy is EXPENSIVE. This isnt like trading a player with 3 arb yrs left or signed to an affordable contract. He's essentially signed at Halladay money. Not too many teams can afford that. That will limit the playing field
-
The new acquisitions always have moments of wilting under the white hot spotlight. The only way a player wont wilt is if they are going from NY to Boston or vice versa. It happens. Right now, Crawford is scuffling a bit. AdGon will have his time as well. It's almost a right of passage. The only guy who didnt seem to have that was Manny, mostly because he's half retarded and a quarter savant
-
I wouldnt part with Montero and Banuelos for anyone. I would part with either as the centerpiece of a trade, but not both of them in a 2 for 1.
-
How would it be fair? What trades have you seen where a player was dealt for two players in the consensus top 30? There is no precedent. Almost all the ace trades have one major blue chipper, another solid but not "top" prospect and 2 guys down the line
-
Then that is a little disconcerting. Keep an eye out for the Cardinals swoon. Once they fall out of it, snap up Carpenter
-
YES gun must have been off then. The only "fastballs" that I saw below 90 mph had a ton of movement a la cutters and 2 seamers.
-
Also, I called a Napoli HR in game 1 and I also predicted a 15-12 start for the sox in April. The first was right, the second is looking more likely as well. Superteams struggle at the beginning
-
If he doesnt show improved command, we'll be having another Colon sighting /pun.
