Default Unit to D\'Backs

Luis Vizcaino, SS Alberto Gonzales, RHP Ross Ohlendorf and RHP Steven Jackson are rumored to be the four players.

I think that DBacks can be really good this year. They have lots of young players just getting ready to blossom, and also possibly the best rotation in baseball.

Are you kidding me? There are 16 teams in the NL, and all of them suck. The Diamondbacks play in an exceptionally weak division, giving them a good shot to make the playoffs.

Even if you assume the Diamondbacks are twice as bad as the average team (which is obviously not true), they then have a 32:1 shot at winning the NLCS from the start.

Math; it's not for everyone!

Neither is a 43-1/2 year old pitcher with a 90 mph fastball, 18 year old daughter, and ERA of 5.

PHB, how can you hate on so much a pitcher that's a "winner"??

He had the third most wins in baseball last year!

Please don't respond to this post with anything absurdly hypocritical.

Please look at his peripherals and the luck factor that went into the 5 ERA. If you believe in math, that is.

kyleb,

Great price on the bet...

But where do you come up with twice as bad as an average team has a 1 in 32 chance?

Half the wins of a avg NL team is what... 35?
