Vazquez pitches well out of the spotlight and he couldn't be in less of a spotlight than he is with the Marlins. Shields still gets a shit load of k's and if he can get his ERA down that's a great value pick. If that's what you have behind Haren, Gio and Buchholz that ain't too shabby.

...watch and learn

[MCA]

"in real baseball"


classic.

[Sim]

I love how people think James Shields is good. Take it from someone who owned him..............he's not. He sucks, in fact.

[MCA]

Where is anybody saying he's "good?"

[5TOOLER]

somebody, anybody in this league do everyone a favor and compare their rosters with mine position by position.


if my team doesn't come out ahead in at AT LEAST 17 of the 25 roster spots, mix in an appointment to get your head examined.

you have Felix and that's it. you lose

[5TOOLER]

average line of stiffs like bourjos/torres/venable = .260/6/45 with 18 steals


you've cornered the market on guys who long to be corey patterson = better luck next year

[Bud]

sick mock my utility guys. dude your offense is 34,323 years old combined.

the only good thing in your pre-season preview would say "lots of experience on the Bird Watchers"

[5TOOLER]

'experience' defined = a .290/28/95 line minimum in their sleep.


your squad:

posada = speaking of older than dirt
miggy = a couple of drinks from being on a show with dr. drew
kinsler = good for 3 DL trips a year
alvarez = good to see you learned your lesson with mark reynolds, 25 bombs are great when they come with a .220 BA, not
drew = DL trips run in the family
holliday = solid, too bad he isn't josh hamilton
rasmus = solid, too bad you should've taken mike stanton
rios = abreu's stats 7 rounds earlier


...best of luck

[Bud]

$100 you paid to get back in this league, remember that?

[5TOOLER]

of course i do. without that, i wouldn't have been able to collect $400 in entry fees from you since that happened.



...glory days

[Bud]

LOL @ 400
i paid for your hoops entry a couple years ago. Who won that season? oh yeah

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>this guy

[UconnBuckeye]

I like Brian Matusz, I wouldn't talk about running away with a league where he is my number 3.

Rasmus went before Stanton?

Edit: for the record I like Rasmus Berry pointed out how last year he was similar to JHEY

[Ronnie B]

MCA's staff is fine.

I really like Gio Gonzalez

He doesn't even have a #1. Neither Clay or Gio have the year they had last year.
