    In his defense, many of his readers (at least the ones who post on his blog) act like small, stupid children.Yeah, but he treats bloggers and well-respected folks like the guys here at BF like they are small, stupid children -- which they clearly are not. Why alienate yourself from a whole new generation of fans/writers?

    Would Josh Johnson be available on a Marlins team that is looking to shed players? His next two arby years will be expensive...

    His K rate was 6.33, and the average AL starters was 6.20. Like I said, a good K rate, and it will improve when he's pitching to pitchers instead of DHs. So what a pitcher does before age 25 is what he will do the rest of his career? I'm not sure those 179 innings are nearly as relevent as the more recent 206. He also might improve some at age 26 too, as he is only 25 now. His upside is based on his stuff, which is pretty good. You're still ignoring his lucky BABIP, his below-average walk rate, and his strong fly-ball tendencies. His stuff is decent, but not great. A fastball that only runs about 89-91 MPH is not above-average. His curveball is his best pitch, in my opinion, but not fantastic by any means.

    Count me out on Gavin Floyd. Last season was a bit of an aberration in his major league career. Before 2008, he never had an ERA below 5.00 -- except for his first year in the majors, but that was only in 28 innings. Even last season, his Fielding Independent ERA was 4.77. He got rather lucky in 2008. His BABIP was .268 and still walked 3.05 BB/9. Not to mention the guy has a career home run rate of 1.57 HR/9. Fly ball pitcher + lucky BABIP in 2008 + high-ish walk rate = No thank you.

    I'd love to have O-Dog at the top of our lineup. It would then let Doug Melvin go and shop Rickie Weeks + someone like TGJ for a #2 pitcher.
