Re: Unit to D\'Backs
Superb trade for Arizona. Josh Byrnes for president? Ari should win the division. Arizona and San Diego are the two best teams. It will be fun to watch.

Re: Unit to D\'Backs

[ QUOTE ] Not really; they may not even have a top 3 rotatition in the NL West. Peavy/Schmidt/Zito match up just fine with Webb (some are worse, but all have the potential to be almost or just as good). Cain/Lowe/Young look to have the same, if not much better, ERA's than Johnson. Lowry/Hensley/Penny are just as good as Hernandez, with Maddux having the most risk of being worse. Hernandez hasnt had good peripherals since 2004. And the 4/5 dont really matter. Wolf, Billingsley, Davis, Maddux, Morris; all should be decent, with Davis and Bills with the biggest upside. I dont see the Dbacks dominating even the NL West with their pitching, even though I think RJ will be much better than his 5 ERA last year. [/ QUOTE ] Since when is 2/5ths of the games not important anymore? [/ QUOTE ] Because they should all be about the same, with the players I mentioned with the biggest upside. The 1-3 spots on a rotation are much more important than the 4-5 spots. |

[/ QUOTE ] I am extremely confident that the Dodgers got worse -- talk about some OBP problems now -- while the D'Backs and Pads improved themselves, and the Pads were ALREADY better than the Dodgers. Really, the Pads are starting to scare me re: Arizona winning the division. What Nate Silver said about them is pretty sick -- above-average or better hitter at every position. Depth is a big issue, and obviously they can't play all 162 games like that, but still. And their pitching is sickness. Chris Young though, man. Conor Jackson. Carlos Quentin. Too sexy. |

I wouldn't wager my house on a 43 y.o. 'power pitcher' coming off of back surgery. Yes, the Unit used to be very good. [/ QUOTE ] Even at 50:1? |
