kingsville Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) @bubuy: That's the thing with closers. It doesn't matter which team he plays as long as he's the chosen one to do it. We have 162 games of non-stop baseball. We already played a quarter of 'em, and Capps is almost in double-digits. Even with the firesale, he should finish with 30+ saves as long as he can stay healthy and efficient. I know you'll bring up Hoffman's case right now, but if I were the owner, I would wait it out because he's still the closer. He's not blowing a lot of save opps. (2 BS, I presume). The main concern for a Hoffman owner is the age, not the stuff. Pero kapag si Heath Bell na ang closer dito, ayawan na kay Trevor. Evil Empire - Good decision picking Pujols as the 1st-rounder even with all the injury talks. He still hits it out of the park even with that injury; imagine if he's fully healthy? Certainly capable of a 50-HR season. Markakis, Kinsler and Mike Young are good parts of his core as they bring 5-tool skills to the Empire's table. If Jay Bruce enters the fray, it's showtime! The franchise is keen on keeping most of its batters but some of 'em aren't completely secure to stay. Nick Swisher (acquired from A-Team for 3B Beltre) is struggling right now, but he's a strong 2nd-half guy and shall bounce back to give a massive contribution on the batting cats. With his sweet position eligibility, it would be hard to let this guy go. Hank Blalock (yup, another Ranger) is in the DL and might have lost his swagger as a hitter. Raul Ibanez has a history of being inconsistent. Butler has a lot of upside but kinda underperforming. Of all the remaining batters, Pudge the catcher seems to be the legit candidate to stay, given the position is not that deep as well. As for the pitching, the Empire had publicly stated its strategy to surround "gyroball specialist" Dice-K (franchise pitcher for years to come) but haven't produced excellent results, although it's decent enough to compete. The closers are money, of course with K-Rod The Man leading their relief pitching corps and backed by the Ageless Wonder, Mr. Hoffman. The SPs are dicey, led by.. Dice-K! Aaron Laffey from the Tribe is a promising young pitcher. Bay Area hurlers Eveland (OAK) and Sanchez (SF) ain't bad, either. Galarraga is obviously a short-term solution. But the others are not helping the cause.. yup, that includes Carlos "Mr. Excitement" Silva. For them to compete this year, gotta find a legit no.2 starter and more importantly, a third baseman to spell Blalock or occupy the DH spot. The best thing about this franchise? It has tons of prospects. It has a lot that it might spare one for each other team in this dynasty league. The most intriguing ones are Daric Barton who plays everyday at 1B for the A's and 17-year-old Angel Villalona who plays 3B at the minors for the Giants. The latter is said to have tremendous power that some scouts actually compare him to... their franchise hitter (Pujols). Edited May 23, 2008 by kingsville Quote Link to comment
bubuy Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 Evil Empire - Good decision picking Pujols as the 1st-rounder even with all the injury talks.didnt really pick him, sort of.. he fell into my lap with the 5th pick.. that was amazing considering this is keepers.. a few moments after i post this, im just waiting for a pujols player note injury or something.. curse! :cry: Quote Link to comment
Jongkers Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 *cut* edit:way to go pat the bat! pinch hit two run homer for the win ( i hope the lead holds) looks like howard is coming out of his slump, i hope pat does too As I said... Howard's back!!3/5, 3R, 1HR, 2RBI! Quote Link to comment
