Opening Day Notes

April 6, 2012
  • Don’t freak out, all the closers are finding a groove, even Mariano blew a save.  Valverde is till good, Perez can hold his job and Putz will be more dominant
  • On that note, Justin Verlander should close out his own games for the Tigers, Valverde should close for all the other starters.  Verlander has proven he can do it and he could throw 150 in a game, as long as it’s only once in a while
  • Austin Jackson should have a breakout year and he could have the best of anybody in the MLB, his new stance seems pretty legit for getting his average up and he will K still, but reducing his K’s by 30-35 is possible
  • I still believe in the Marlins and that they have a great chance at the playoffs but if anyone could disappoint big it’s the Marlins, small chance they’re like the 2008 Tigers but I doubt it
  • Melky Cabrera’s 2011 may have not been a fluke
  • This could be Chad Billingsley’s year to become a great number two
  • Verlander is really as good as 2011 suggests and Halladay has to be the favorite for a CY Young this year
  • Johan Santana is ready to comeback strong
  • Both Vernon Wells and Adam Dunn will improve easily on his 2011
  • I wouldn’t be too concerned with Yovani Gallardo yet

Who has The Better Chance At Winning?

October 5, 2011

DETROIT AT NEW YORK: I will say the Tigers because Fister is better than Nov and I’ll say Game 1 was a fluke for both because of the way it was resumed.  The Tigers offense will need to step up a bit an if it does it will do awesome and even if it doesn’t live up to it’s fullest it can beat the Yankees.  The Yankees do have a really good shot, especially with their offense.  I also like the Tigers because I think Scherzer could be big in relief and JV could come in to get one or two clutch outs by using his gas.  Benoit and alverde will be ready too and Soriano could let down the Yanks.  The Tigers have a slight edge I think, they are better all-around and can beat the Yankees.
ST. LOUIS AT PHILLY: I have to say the Phillies have the advantage because of Halladay and the fact that they’re just a better team but the Cards have a serous chance at an upset with the way Freese and Berkman are going and the rest of team as shown up.  I also expect something big of Pujols, win or lose.  Carpenter can handle pressure well and will pitch a good game and do what he does best, give up barely any runs if any.  The Phillies lien-up could be the advantage here though and I’ll take them in a close one.  The Phils are the best team in the playoffs and at home too.
EXTRA: if the Brew Crew loses tonight they might not have an edge anymore but I wouldn’t be surprised if they won.  The D’backs [play great baseball though

Ranking Top Starters in The MLB

June 25, 2011
  1. Justin Verlander- Will keep it going too, should win the CY Young and be dominate
  2. Roy Halladay- Consistent and will have an even lower ERA by the end of the year
  3. Cliff Lee- Right behind Halladay could finish even better and have a career year
  4. Felix Hernandez- He’s the King but has had a few too many bad games.  Will get a lot better and soon
  5. Clayton Kershaw- Is just so great and is getting better almost every start
  6. Tim Lincecum- Will get better in the second half, he is better than his ranking but isn’t so hot right now
  7. Cole Hamels- Is an awesome three and will do awesome for the Phillies all year-long
  8. Jared Weaver- The numbers might get worse but is a true ace who will get really hot
  9. Jair Jurrjens- Is the definition of dominate so far and could keep it that way
  10. Michael Pineda- The next big thing, great stuff and great everything
  11. James Shields- Looks like he will finally have a year where he’s consistent and is an ace, a great pitcher and he will not regain his wildness but will strikeout 200

Players Doing Well: Morton, Berkman, A. Sanchez

May 8, 2011
  • Charlie Morton has had a pretty good year and he’s has copied Roy Halladay’s mechanics but he obviously won’t be as good as him.  I think he could breakout this year but he will never be an elite guy or even as close to as good as Halladay.  He will be a decent three guy who keeps his ERA low and wins more games than he loses by a bit.  He looks solid but I won’t buy into him being a start yet.
  • Lance Berkman has been doing great along with Matt Holliday and when Pujols shows up if Berkman stays doing even half as good as he’s been this year they will be a big pest for the Reds and Brewers.  I think he could stay hot too, he has tons of power and it will stay a higher number and he can hit and he has a good track record so I think he could do very well, not at this pace but he could hit 30 homers and have a great late career surge
  • Anibal Sanchez has been unhittable at times this year and he will do that and I think behind the big guys he will be a great pitcher and have the bests season of his career but he will have some bad games, just a real good starter.

BUST OR TRUST- Clay Buchholz-TRUST- He has a lot of talent, just don’t expect as much as he did last year but on Boston he will get wins and he will get strikeouts while keeping a decent ERA.  I like him and think he will defiantly so well.
BUST OR TRUST-Trevor Cahill-TRUST- He’s a future Cy Young and everything he did last year was real and their will not be a huge regression in his numbers.  He won’t struggle a lot either.  He will just be a decent player all year and he could very easily be a steal.
BUST OR TRUST- Tim Hudson- TRUST-He’s an ace and he can do what he did last year again easily, but don’t expect  that or draft him too early because he won’t be a top 20 player, he will just be a solid guy that will help you a lot.

BEST STATS
W: Roy Halladay

BB: Roy Halladay
IP: Felix Hernandez
AVG: Mat Latos
GET HIM LATE (IF YOU GET A SHOT)? Naverson: Yes   K.Kendrick: No  B.Chen: No  F.Garcia: No   C.Volstad: Yes

STRATEGY: Wait until the fifth round or so and then draft a couple guys and them wait a few rounds and keep getting guys on and off.  There is tons of potential in the lower tier but don’t get too many of those guys and try to get a few pretty good pitchers for your team.  You might be able to get a guy in the fourth round or so but don’t stretch it and join the starter run your league is on so you don’t miss out on some guys.
