Padilla just walked around like a douchebag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Has the ROY ever been all but decided two weeks into a season (hell, he might get some MVP votes)? Just give it to Heyward right now. Nice to see a "brotha" takin' over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Well, the Rays just completed their smackdown of the Red Sox to the tune of a 4-game sweep in Boston. They now have the same record as the **gulp** White Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 04:53 PM) A's lock up Brett Anderson through 2015. http://www.sbnation.com/2010/4/16/1426846/...act-oakland-mlb Good move. I think BB is overrated as f*** (Wite, Thunderbolt, I don't want to hear it). But the haul he got for Haren was SICK. He does what he can to stay ahead of the game, but I don't believe he can do that anymore. As such, it seems he has forgotten how to build a winning team. In the absence of that, he has collected as much talent as he can (and they have a ton of it), and because he has such limited resources to work with, he is afraid of losing a trade that will set his franchise back for years at a time (which is exactly what happened in the Holliday trade). He's the best in the game at acquiring value for his assets, but that's about where the good stops anymore. If he grew a pair and acquired Adrian Gonzalez, I'd say the AL West was as wide open as any division in baseball. As is, the A's are the only team that really has no shot at winning the division title. QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 11:30 PM) Here's a doozie for ya: Ubaldo, Kershaw or Hanson? Kershaw, Ubaldo, Hanson, in that order. I take Kershaw because of handedness and Ubaldo has done more and in an environment like Coors. Hanson is still sick. QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 08:08 AM) I get the feeling that when all is said and done the NL will be the tougher league this year. I think Boston is going to slip a little and other than the Yankees and maybe Tampa the AL looks to have a lot of average to slightly above average teams. Sadly the White Sox offensive decision making the off season is going to keep them from pulling away. The NL has the Phillies and the Cardinals as two really elite teams. The Rockies, Giants, and Dodgers are all good, but I wouldn't classify them as elite teams. Atlanta appears to have a good team as well, but I don't know how good they are. Other than that, there's a lot of talent, but no great teams. I think the AL will dominate the NL in Interleague play once again, probably about the 20-30 games that's been standard of recent years.

With Ramirez gone and Ortiz not what he was, their lineup has regressed considerably. I'd take there's over the White Sox without hesitation though.

C - Victor Martinez 1B - Kevin Youkilis 2B - Dustin Pedroia SS - Marco Scutaro 3B - Adrian Beltre LF - Jacoby Ellsbury CF - Mike Cameron RF - JD Drew DH - David Ortiz Bench - Mike Lowell, Jason Varitek, Jeremy Hermida, and Bill Hall I don't see a true superstar in the bunch, though I would say Victor Martinez is close, but the only real weak hitter I see in the lineup is Scutaro.

Ya you can see it with his style. He works fast, (pitching and starting each inning) throws strikes, fields his position very well, and has a great pick-off move. (not to mention learned the cutter here) Similarities end with that however with their pitching styles. Eric Gagne retires officially. Maybe he can give Jason Schmidt his Cy Young he stole from him.

caulfield12 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Has Richard actually learned how to field his position well enough and THEN make accurate throws to 1B?

No idea there actually (don't catch enough games he pitches, even though I saw him make two good throws over there in the 2 games he pitched) but he's solid at fielding his position, though he will never be Buehrle-like.
