The Nationals have one of the better 3-4-5 combos in baseball. Willingham has been outstanding for them.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 07:31 PM) 11 K to 0 BB is that the best K:BB performance of the year? Wouldn't surprise me if it were. I'd have to look at Ubaldo's game logs.

Struck out the side for a second time. 11 Ks through 6.

101? lmao.

QUOTE (goblue5699 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 07:03 PM) Mike Stanton is up right now for those who care. He just struck out.

Delwyn Young just became the answer to a future trivia question.

So the NL east has either added or will soon add Heyward, Strasburg, Stanton and Harper.

God damn he's slow. That wasn't even close.

We missed out on two months of this guy for service time bulls***.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 06:28 PM) I dunno, J4L....In my league, CC is like the 7th rated hitter in the league thus far, well ahead of Zimmerman. Categories are OBP, SBs, HRs, RBIs, Runs and Total Bases. Plus I have Longoria and Billy Butler at my other two CI positions... That makes it a little more defensible. But still, in a 1 for 1 it's no contest. Steals and saves are something you really shouldn't pay for. Took me a couple years to learn that.

Mike Stanton with an infield single.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 06:15 PM) I traded Zimm for Crawford straight up a few weeks ago...still not sure how I feel about that... You got played.

You've got to be kidding me. Those last two breaking balls were disgusting. How do you pick those up when the guy is throwing 97-99? The Nationals have three legitimate superstars in Zimmerman, Strasburg and Harper.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 03:02 PM) Austin Wilson to the Cardinals. If they could sign him it would be a great addition to an already outstanding draft. They better not be able to sign him. That would be the steal of the decade.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 04:58 PM) No they won't. As soon as some of them get good, it will be time to trade them. Its a never ending cycle for them. I don't think so. They're not spending the money they are to get these guys only to let them walk when the time comes. I think there really has been a change over there. And it's good to see both the Pirates and Reds with powerhouse potential (at least by NL central standards). Thus making things even more difficult for the Cubs.

I'm so f***ing stoked for this. This has been the most exciting time for me as a baseball fan since 1994.

I agree with wite. Joey Votto is right there with Evan Longoria and Ryan Zimmerman as far as superstar caliber players 26 and under. He's going nowhere. And Thunderbolt should be shot for mentioning Justin Upton.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 01:08 PM) they're also businessmen for whom the baseball team is not their only focus. They didn't buy the baseball team to blow all thier money on and go broke. They're in bankruptcy because if the teams don't generate large profits and if you don't inject outside money in, they are bankrupt divisions. Just because they have the money it doesn't mean they should put it all into a sports team which won't generate the revenue that one of their others businesses will. By the way, this only applies to a team that is primarily owned by one individual. I didn't think that post required green.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 12:45 PM) I think MLB Network has it. As will ESPN.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 12:38 PM) We've seen 2 MLB teams in bankruptcy in the last 2 years. But, but they're billionaires. They're in bankruptcy because they choose to be.

Finally a player I've heard of. Landry is nice value there.

Less than 6 hours away. Poor, poor Pirates.

Props to anybody who've heard of any of these guys taken this round so far.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 11:59 AM) SO a top 50 guy picked there is picked because he is cheap, or because he has value? I get the impression you are throwing s*** against the wall hoping it will stick. You don't take relievers (Unless they have absolute stud potential like Scheppers or Allie) early in the second round. I don't care where BA has them rated.

Well we're officially at the point of the "I've never heard of any of these guys in my life" part of the draft. I think I'm going to bounce after the Sox next pick.
