QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 09:46 AM) Prediction: Garland will have a better year than contreras, garcia and El Duque. Ok I'm going to hold you to that. Garland will have improved and being the #5 starter will have taken the pressure off, but he'll inevitably still have some outings this season where he looks like the Jon Garland of old. I think Garcia and El Duque (if he can stay healthy) will still have better numbers than Jon.

QUOTE(shagar69 @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 10:32 AM) is that s*** free? and if so, how do i get it Only for Aussies who know the secret code.

LeBron = #1 fantasy pick in drafts next season. And I got him about #5 bi-atches.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 06:47 AM) I dont know. I think Tyson would have emekas numbers in charlotte. Tyson doesn't start. Tyson also doesn't have much of a low post game right now, except for a runnin hook shot (I think I read that in one of Sean Deveney's columns). He's got the perfect role on this team right now, and if his low post game develops and he stays healthy he's going to be one hell of a PF. Okafor would start in Chicago at the moment, and put up good numbers still, although his scoring would go down a little.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 10:26 AM) confession: I trolled their game thread. I got threatened by BG lol That was smart

Pods finally getting to show that so called smallball theory off. Iguchi and Everett getting the job done.

Let's see if Pods can steal a base here.

QUOTE(chi-guy2 @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 01:44 AM) why would the texans do this, they already have good defensive backs, what they really need is a defensive linemen, and since sharper is gone a lb 2 words. Peyton Manning.

Anyone remember those Santana and Nathan T-Shirts from last year.

The Titans will probably snag him at #6.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 11:22 AM) It's not like Restovich is doing anything... http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=6416 LOL Gene. I get quite jealous looking at the cheap productive outfielders the Rockeis have in Holliday, Restrovich, Hawpe and Mohr. If only they weren't tied down by Helton and Co.

Is anyone actually going to give Dwight Howard a chance here? There are definitely some factors worth considering to possibly go for him over Emeka; 1) Shoots 52% from the field, while Okafor shoots 45%. 2) Rebounds are almost the same, while Okafor would get more minutes. 3) Is averaging 16.3 points and 10.3 rebounds this month, and 13.9 points and 11.7 rebounds last month. 4) He's not the #1 option on his team like Okafor is.

They kept Emil Brown over a waiver claim of Mike Restrovich. Good choice Mr. Baird.

Ok what the hell, my turn. 1) Alex Smith 2) Aaron Rodgers 3) Braylon Edwards 4) Ronnie Brown 5) Cadallac Williams 6) Antrell Rolle 7) Mike Williams 8) Cedric Benson 9) Adam Jones 10) Alex Barron 11) Shawne Merriman 12) Troy Williamson 13) Demarcus Ware 14) Mark Clayton 15) Carlos Rogers 16) Thomas Davis 17) Marcus Spears 18) Dan Cody 19) Jamaal Brown 20) Erasmus James 21) David Pollack 22) Roddy White 23) Travis Johnson 24) Fabien Washington 25) Heath Miller 26) Justin Miller 27) Justin Tuck 28) Khalif Barnes 29) Brodney Pool 30) Shaun Cody 31) Channing Crowder 32) Matt Jones Bears- 2nd- Ciatrick Faison 3rd- Michael Munoz

Depends on what you were after. Until Pods shows his groin is 100% and he starts stealing on a regular basis, I'd sit him. I'd probably go with Crisp just over Rowand, with Ichiro and Everett definitely starting.

Bumping this thread because I'm just about to become Champion!!!

Sometimes you gotta feel sorry for Starbury. Let's hope Flip Saunders doesn't go there for his sanity's sake.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:35 PM) And Odom isn't a garbage player. He's pretty damn good playing alongside anyone not named Kobe. As would 95% of the players in the NBA.

To me, Ozzie shouldn't be judged 100% on what he does in the media, calling out players etc. That definitely counts, but the clubhouse seems better than what it has been, and the team is winning, so I think those calling for his head probably need to take that into perspective 1st. These are definitely issues that need addressing ASAP, and other things like learning how to use a bullpen as well. But Ozzie needs to learn this team needs to be in the headlines for all the RIGHT reasons, not the wrong ones.

I remember the ideas in the off-season that suggested Carl was making too much to be a bench player, and he wasn't going to be used enough. Well folks, in hindsight that probably wasn't the best idea was it. Right now, Everett has forced himself to be an everyday player, even when Frank comes back. I've got faith in Dye being able to turn it around though, so I think things will definitely turn out ok.

Let's hope El Duque can pitch like he did against the Twinkies the 1st time. If he does, I definitely like our chances, so long as the run support is there. Pods and Iguchi need to set the tone at the top of the order, while Konerko and Everett are hitting bombs. As usual, some production from the lower part of the order is needed.
