I am currently listening to the Detroit Tigers' exhibition opener against the Atlanta Braves, and thus it is time to start the 2009 addition of the baseball thread. The thread where all things baseball can be discussed about your favorite teams or your least favorite teams. No steroids allowed!!! -------------

Yankees' pitching is lookin' awful good right now. My bold predictions: Angels only a couple games over .500 (though they still win division), Twins win AL Central, Chad Billingsley wins NL Cy Young.-------------   |

Phils are looking good - almost everyone's back, Howard's lean and mean, Utley will be ready for opening day - I like them for the NL East champs again; playoffs in baseball* depend on who gets hot, so no bold predictions there. well, really applies to any playoffs, I suppose. |

The Tigers really didn't do too much to better themselves. Hopefully, Edwin Jackson turns out to be a solid addition to the rotation and Brandon Lyon is this year's Brad Lidge at closer. I think that they are really counting on players who were injured last year returning to form and contributing like they hopefully can: Jeremy Bonderman, Fernando Rodney, Joel Zumaya, and Gary Sheffield, who played all year but was never at full strength and basically sucked. -------------

Yeah!!! The Tigers beat the Braves 5-4 to start the exhibition season. So what, if the Tigers started all of their regulars and the Braves only brought the required 2 or 3 regulars. And Brandon Lyon gave up 3 of the runs, so that is either a bad sign of things to come, or a good thing to get the bad outing out of the way during the spring. Although judging by the last 50 years and especially last season, a name like Lyon doesn't really bode very well in the city of Detroit. -------------

Not to be too pessimistic about the Tigers, but Sheff's old and Zumaya and Rodney "returning to form" means league-average relievers, and Lyon was quite a mediocre closer last year. Toss in Farnsey and you've got a bullpen that throws GAS but doesn't get the job done. Really, I was trying to not be terribly pessimistic  ------------- |

Farnsey is in KC so addition by subtraction there. When Zumaya and Rodney were healthy in 06 they were a great 1-2 punch in the bullpen. They've just sucked in 07 and 08 while they've been injured and recovering from injuries. Sheffield would be addition by subtraction too, but they really think that he is going to have a good year. Personally, I doubt it. -------------

With a lineup that could score about 30 billion runs this year and a pitching staff that could give up just as many the Rangers might be the most exciting team out there!
While I bleed black and gold in football and hockey the Buccos have done nothing for me to earn my fandom. We will see if anything changes under these new guys but their handling of Andrew McCutchen has me expecting more of the same losing attitude served, as always, with a hearty side of cheepnis. When you have the lineup they do what is the point of making this kid rot away in the minors? Idiots will probably finally deem him league ready in 3 years when he's 25, let him play half a season, then trade him for a handful of magic beans and middle relievers. -------------  Time always wins. |

I have only been involved in a fantasy baseball league once about 5 years ago so forgive my naivete, but what is the deal with the playing head to head, etc... The league that I was in just took the stats for the entire year and whoever had the most points won. Does the head to head require a lot more effort, as far as changing lineups on a daily basis and keeping up on which pitchers are pitching each day and stuff like that???/ -------------

Posted By: manofmystery
Date Posted: March 04 2009 at 21:42
In a word: Yes. In a head to head matchup you do battle with one opponent over a series of stat categories for a week. If you win 12 categories out of 20 you will have gone 12-6 that week. It is a lot more interesting than a season long points league because there is a weekly challenge.

ooh, my sides
sorry buddy, having grown up in this current Succos era I can safely tell you they are no where near a .500 team. Be nice to have three winning teams in town but I've learned to live with two  . What's sad about the Buccos is that they blame the lack of a salary cap all the time yet have watched the Marlins win two World Series with an even smaller budget. Time will tell if the new guys in charge are smarter than those they replaced but this will not be the year they reach .500, not with that pitching staff.------------- Time always wins. |

Not to be mean (manofmystery already got that out of the way anyhow), but in my eyes the Pirates haven't really gotten better anywhere. The Cards, though, could be a solid wild card contender--they ain't topping the Cubs--especially if that man-beast Rick Ankiel continues to hit homers and play plus defense in centerfield. ------------- |

The Tigers just became contenders again. They released Gary Sheffield. I don't believe that there has ever been a more obvious case of addition by subtraction then this move. He is stuck on 499 home runs, so it'll be interesting to see which team decides to give him a go so he can get his 500th.

If tonight's Tigers' game is any indication it is going to be another loooooooooooooooong season. Down 4 - 0 after 1 inning and 9 to 1 after 4 innings. Verlander was awful just like he was most of the season last year, and Halladay is basically unhittable, which he basically has been his entire career. -------------

Date Posted: April 07 2009 at 17:16
Hopefully Verlander turns things around, he's such an exciting pitcher to watch when he's on his game. I thought the Jays would have a great season and if Opening Day is any indication, they may be up there in the AL East (everybody but the O's can win that division) -------------

Date Posted: April 07 2009 at 17:28

I had really high hopes for the Tigers last year, but after they got swept by the Royals at home in the opening series and started 0 and 8 or 9 (or whatever it was) they just never got it on track. Other than gettign rid of Sheffield they did very little to improve themselves in the offseason (in my opinion, although they claim they will be much better defensively). Starting the season the way did yesterday brought back all the bad feelings from the start of last year. A couple of seasons ago Verlander was awesome, and he had an occasional good game here and there last year but it seemed as though every game he was at or about 100 pitches by the 5th inning and it was time to go to the crappy bullpen. I am definitely more cautious about my optimism this year. -------------
|
Posted By: mr.cub
Date Posted: April 07 2009 at 17:47
Yeah they made huge moves last offseason that it was justified to have huge expectations. If Verlander and Robertson return '06 levels then I don't see how they will not contend in the Central. With that in mind, they have a pretty solid roster and their division is certainly up in the air. As always, like you said, bullpen is a cause for concern.
 Since many of my relatives live in Michigan, I like to see the Tigers do well; oddly enough my grandfather loved the Cubs and liked the Tigers so I naturally followed suit from a young age. -------------

shame the fantasy league is DOA MoM 5 Star division winner predictions:
AL
East: NY Yankees (I hate to make this pick for fear of jinx but I hate the Sox too much to pick them)
Central: Chicago White Sox (tough division to call but they seem to be the most cohesive unit)
West: LA Angels (no brainer really, Texas will finish 2nd but doesn't have the pitching to push LA)
NL
East: NY Mets (they have a bullpen now, keep an eye on the Marlins though)
Central: Chicago Cubs (simply the best team in this division)
West: LA Dodgers (ditto above)
Wildcards:
AL: Boston (argh, I hate them but they have it all and I do have several of their players in my keeper league)
NL: Florida Marlins (Yes, that's right, I have the champion Phillies on the outside looking in. Philly now has more championship teams then they'll ever deserve anyway )------------- Time always wins. |

Gonna have to disagree entirely about your AL West pick, manofmystery. Angels had remarkably good luck last year--though they would have run away with the division anyways--and their pitching staff has been decimated by injuries. Nobody can lose a starting pitcher to free agency and three more to injuries and be a "no brainer" to win a division. Texas has a startling lack of pitching, and they only have three or four good position players. I think the A's will slighly edge out the Angels through defense, young pitching, and a couple sluggers.

Yep. Kevin Millwood tied them in knots for 7 innings, but in the 8th inning the Rangers went to their bullpen and the hitters went to work and scored 6 runs to beat them 6-4. After starting 0 and 6 last year I can't remember if the Tigers ever made it back over .500 last year or not. Either way the sweep was great and here comes the first battle of the year with the White Sox. -------------

Marmol went 3 up 3 down in the 8th tonight, untouchable stuff. Gregg comes in for the 9th gives up a homer to Rickie Weeks with 2 outs, next two men reach base and Fielder comes up as the tying run. Thankfully he struck him out. I don't know why so much money for him when they could have easily gotten Wood back for another season. Marmol/Wood at the tail end of that bullpen was as solid as it came. -------------

Giving up a homer to Weeks is especially embarrassing because Weeks sucks.

The Tigers lost 10 to 6 to the White Sox. Year in and Year out the Sox just feast on Tiger's pitching. Those guys look like Hootch from Turner and Hootch they are salivating so much over the idea of facing the Tigers. The Tigers had 4 or 5 at-bats when the game was a 3 or 4 run difference where a home run would have tied the game, but they just couldn't score those runs. -------------

a sad day for baseball today ..two greats lost... Longtime Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas passed away before todays game with the Nationals.. and this one hurts... one of my earliest baseball idols. Tiger phenom Mark 'the Bird' Fidrych passed away at 54 ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |
