Very much appreciate the effort. Agree on unquestionably best offense in baseball. But am I insane for thinking that the Sox rotation is better considering a couple things: Hughes wasn't that great before his injury, Chamberlain doesn't really have a reliable third pitch and Buchholz is the 2nd highest rated right handed prospect behind Homer Bailey (Chamberlain is third). I disagree that using Hughes and Joba as starters in the DS would increase their chances of winning given that they wouldn't have even entered the playoff picture yet.

Laffey? Aaron Laffey? Damn I'm impressed with how quickly he made it to the show considering when he played HS ball in MD he was topping out at about 88. Kid was kind of a douche from what I hear, but props for making the post season roster. Kyle, you should be a bit more of a homer more often [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Again, I thank you for that post, but I have to get up in like 4 hours to tailgate, so I'll talk to you cats on sunday probably (gonna be a looonnnggg day of drinkin).

I'm pretty sure Joba and Hughes are/were both rated above Bucholz by most. Also, Joba has a + 3 and 4 pitch, just since he's in relief he only needs to use his 2 best.

As most people should. Bullpens are worth very little unless they are lights-out, which admittedly the Indians' is. Then again, the Indians ruin it by having a dedicated closer in Borowski, who has been terrible, so you don't get a lot of points there. Remember that the Red Sox have a shutdown bullpen and the Yankees have a decent one.

At the beginning of the season, yes, but I rate Buchholz higher than Chamberlain and at least Hughes' equivalent.

I would also like to add that I completely owned both Ray and shaun [censored] deeb in prop betting tonight.

They are such fish

[kyleb]

Even/odd foul balls?
Runs per inning (you draft innings)?
Does the ump throw it back on the mound or miss?

which ones? GoT and i are always looking for new bets

[Exitonly]

pitches thrown per inning, snake order for who sets the o/u for the inning.

I had a 2 point lead going into the 9th [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
