santo=dorf Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Crawford stole 6 bases against the Red Sox today. I was wondering why my fantasy team had so many stolen bases this week. He's been on fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 QUOTE (G&T @ May 4, 2009 -> 02:32 PM) Matt Holliday is not doing so hot. Shocking. I posted his numbers outside of Coors/Petco/San Fran last year and his OPS was somewhere in the low to mid .700's. With that said; Matt Holliday is a much better hitter than his .233/.281/.367/.648 line would suggest. He's not going to finish the year anywhere near a 1.000 or even .950 OPS but he should be able to muster an .800 even while playing in the Coliseum, hell he isn't even a HR hitter anyway so he should be able to manage high doubles numbers in his new cavernous home ballpark. I'm curious as to how many of his HR will be hit in Arlington this year, half thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Gio Gonzalez's stint in the majors this season lasted all of 2 days. 5 H, 4 BB, 1 K and 3 ER in 5 innings of work in the 15 inning marathon in Seattle earned him a ticket back to AAA. His career MLB ERA now stands at 7.38 in 39 IP. He's still only 23 years old and it'll probably click for him someday but it's been a rough start to his big league career.

Luckily, Rotoworld is reporting he's doing ok: "X-rays and a CT scan on Rick Ankiel's head revealed no fractures as a result of Monday's collision with the wall in center field. "He was never knocked out," GM John Mozeliak said. "He never lost consciousness. My understanding was that he had some discomfort in the face area, obviously, from hitting the wall. But for the most part right now, we're encouraged based on Dr. Paletta's first [evaluation], just getting to see him on the field." No word yet on whether Ankiel will land on the DL. Colby Rasmus figures to start in center field for at least the next few days. May. 5 - 1:59 am et" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 This is just going to be a cool sentence to write: Houston and Washington are on a rain delay in the 11th inning tied at 10 runs apiece. And that game...was suspended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further proof that it's more than possible to consistently field a contending ML team while maintaining a productive farm system. Obviously a million things can happen between now and the end of the season. But as of right now, I think the Dodgers are the clear front-runners in the NL.

The Hudson signing was fantastic for them, as he's provided such a cool demeanor to offset any of Manny's craziness. If it happens, I can't wait to root for them again when they face the Cubs in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Abeu, Dunn and Ibanez all would have made a ton more sense for the Cubs. The fans and media who protect Hendry are saying he struck early and couldn't have predicted the way contracts would have went, which I say BS to, part of being a good GM is projecting the market, which he failed horribly at.

If it happens, I can't wait to root for them again when they face the Cubs in the playoffs. I've seen a lot of Dodger games this year and Hudson is playing freaking phenomenal. Why the hell the Sox didn't sign him and figure out a way to go Getz/Ramirez/Hudson in some order in CF/SS/2B is beyond me. Absolutely foolish, foolish.
