    That's cheap for an average 2B. Now if he breaks out, we'll really have a deal.

    I wouldn't worry about defense from a guy like Griffin because of his huge frame. His defense will never be a matter of ability, but a matter of ambition. I'm completely sold on Griffin and I hope that the Thunder get him so they get their home town guy. A nucleus of Westbrook, Green, Durant, and Griffin would be a darn good team for years to come.

    Is this game available on the Wii?

    Not to mention JJ Hardy was named as well. Sticking with Brewers, middle infielders and notoriously streaky hitters, Hardy is every bit of those and capable of putting an even bigger year together. It is likely your opposing Fantasy owners think Hardy has reached his potential and is ready to plateau, but since when is a 26-year-old ready to level off? Hardy had just two homers through June 1 of last year, but he surged with an amazing nine in July alone. He is a four-homers-a-month guy ordinarily, but do you remember his .280-18-54-48 first half in 2007, one that featured a six-homer April and a nine-homer May? His homers come in bunches and we will continue to beat you over the head with the rule of thumb that streaky young hitters become big-time stars in their prime -- Jeff Kent-style. Kent once went from a 15-20 homer guy to an annual MVP candidate, not to mention a future Hall of Famer. We project Hardy as a top 10 Fantasy shortstop at .272-24-75-93-4-.331-.447, but we would not be surprised in the least to see him produce more consistently great numbers and go .275-30-100-100. Those numbers would make Derek Jeter look like Rey Ordonez -- and you just know Jeter is going to go around five rounds earlier in most leagues on name recognition alone

    http://fantasynews.cbsspo...sybaseball/story/11268369 Hmm ... this could be a really big year for breakthrough second basemen, eh? Four of the top seven 27-year-olds are second base eligible (although Ramirez is moving to shortstop). You can player-hate on Weeks because of his strikeout rate, suspect defense and .245 career average, but you should not completely forget how big of a talent he is. The two-time NCAA Division I batting title winner can hit for a better average, and his Triple-A manager once went on record as saying Weeks has better power than eventual 50-homer man Prince Fielder. Oh, Weeks can also run. In the not-so-impressive prediction category, when Weeks was called up, we said he could be a .300-30-100-100-30 player in his prime. We are still waiting, but only now is Weeks finally near that point. Weeks has had wrist issues that hindered him the past few years, but he turned the corner after the All-Star break last year. After a hitting .217 in the first half, Weeks posted a more respectable .263 average, .378 OBP and .451 SLUG after the break. Those are reachable levels that can make Weeks a top five Fantasy second baseman because of his rare speed-and-power mix.

    147 Strikeouts in 166 innings isn't too shabby though. If he brings his walks down, he could end up being a special pitcher.

    Just like the Twins did with Kevin Slowey. Slowey really struggled in 2007. How did that end up turning out?
  8. TuesdaysWithRillo
    It was Gorowsky who missed the shot. It was rather painful.

    I'd be interested in the 2nd league. Nothing like some good, old fantasy baseball.

    This might refresh your memory. http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/38559177.html

    I was referring to the injury that Jason Jennings sustained after a similar diagnosis to Sheets.

    I don't think any of those factors have anything to do with it. Steroids are ignored in football (see Shawn Merrimann) and the NFL has had their share of labor disagreements including the new CBA coming up in the next year or two. If you want to talk about image, there is so much crime in the NFL (see Pacman Jones, Chris Henry, Tank Williams, the list goes on forever), and people still watch it at the same rate.

    All of the options presented above would yield less wins in 2009 for the Brewers than if Mike Cameron was in CF. You get what you pay for.

    People thought that the Minnesota Twins rotation looked pretty bad going into the 2008 season, but then Scott Baker and Kevin Slowey emerged to be top of the rotation type starters. If Brewer fans have the same patience with Gallardo and Parra, a lot of the same might happen in 2009 in Brew City. Baker = Gallardo Slowey = Parra Livan = Suppan Perkins = Bush Blackburn > McClung The only true difference in the 2 rotations was that Blackburn had a lot more upside and talent than McClung. Sure, Livan ended up getting DFA'd and they got 2 good months out of Liriano, but that could happen in Milwaukee if we trade a prospect or 2 for a top of the line pitcher. Small Market teams have to trust their young pitchers or they will dig themselves into payroll purgatory. Without injury, I don't mind the current rotation because we are flexible to add a piece if we are in contention which depends on bounce back years from players in our offense.

    Josh Vitters looks pretty darn good so far but it's pretty early in the game for him.
  18. TuesdaysWithRillo
    When Sheets turns into Jason Jennings 2.0, then you won't be so sickened by it.
  19. TuesdaysWithRillo
    Yeah, I don't agree with that either. There's a lot of smart people out there that like football. It would be interesting though to see a study that came out with the average IQ of the fans of each sport.

    Rluz, do you have the statistics on how much a good CF can lower the team ERA with his defense. If people saw that stat, they might appreciate Cameron more.

    I don't like the deal for the Mets. Perez has been too inconsistent to warrant such a deal, but it's their money.

    It doesn't show that FTJ is wrong, it just shows that he didn't care to argue against your point, he just decided to be anal and correct your spelling. Generally speaking though, he probably didn't attack your argument because he didn't have anything good to attack.
  25. TuesdaysWithRillo
    I don't agree. Football just moves at a faster pace so it looks a lot more complex than it is. If football moved at the same pace as baseball, it would look just as simple. Pace is the fundamental reason for football getting more popularity. It's a fast paced society and the general American population doesn't have much patience for things that they don't have a passion for. The fast pace of football allows for more violent hits and acrobatic plays per game. That's why America likes football so much. But I find it interesting that the rest of the world could give a lick about American Football, but yet baseball is popular in many more regions of the world. So how does baseball win over in those areas? All interesting questions.
