2011 Talk About My Team Thread (formerly known as random ramblings)

[Kingdom]

H-Mart and Vitters a.k.a. MY FUTURE have taken talent hits. This is not surprising as I've had HORRIBLE luck in this league. Martinez must have had INSANE power. Because it's still a 10 and he's still my 2nd ranked bat despite 7 contact.

I hope Vitters and Galloway make it to Sept. so I can call them up. H-Mart should still make a nice power bat at the tail end of a lineup. In the end though, I'll deliever a winner to Chicago.

I hope they die since you're letting them rot in AAA.

Pleasantly surprised I'm still in first

Now I'm glad I made the H-Mart for pie trade when I did...

And Yorvit Torrealba is the signing of the year... 1 year, a little over 600k... and is on pace for .277, 29, 104.... not bad at all for someone who was signed off the scrap heap...

Then there is Torii Hunter... the brotha no one wanted... on pace for 360, 27, 94...

Granted, I doubt either keep up those huge numbers, but for the prices paid, they have exceeded expectations.

A-Rod has done the opposite... Averages wise at least, his power numbers are Ok.

Batting AVG: .278 (5th)
Homeruns: 119 (1st)
Walks: 233 (12th)
Stolen Bases: 21 (T-26th)
Runs Scored: 420 (1st)

Pitching ERA: 3.65 (1st)
Opponents AVG: .257 (8th)
HRs Allowed: 67 (11th)
Walks Allowed: 219 (11th)
Runs Allowed: 265 (T-1st)

I fully expected the offense to be pretty damn good. The pitching is talented but not 1st in ERA or Runs Allowed. I expected them to be in the hunt for a wild card. What surprises me more is that Oakland is doing worse than expected. Holliday and Pedroia are fighting each other in the MVP Race. Jeff Francis has settled in to the nice confines of Safeco Field. Where are all the haters on Gil Meche now?

[Kingdom]

I really need pitching. Grasping at straws with Shawn Chacon and.. nearly everyone else. No one out there wants to swap a starter and/or a few relievers for young outfielders? Everyone I have to offer is under 30, most under 25!

I have 36 total homeruns.
Justin Morneau has 24
David Wright has 26


...woooosh

[Porter]

Seattle has more than triple the HRs then San Deigo.

[Providence A's]

What surprises me more is that Oakland is doing worse than expected.

it's still early and all I need to do is get in the playoffs to have a shot. I was the Wild Card when I won in this league before.

Dry's pretty good at not having talent.

[Halladay_is_God]

Toronto sinking to where it should be

[nick]

halladay, have you seen.... Halladay's stats? jesus, 7 cgs... and 3 in a row at one point.

[Halladay_is_God]

that's normal for Roy

[HollywoodLeo]

My pitchers are regressing

[Providence A's]

here we come Seattle! 5.5 games back now. 1 game behind Toronto for the Wild Card though.

my future CF lost some contact talent...still useful, but not as much so.

Batting AVG: .269 (15th)
Homeruns: 81 (20th)

I may put Cain on the block... turned down a 5 year 18 mil per contract extension... thats absurd.
