I honestly feel like I wasn't invited to a big party, the love Stephen Curry party, because for the life me I still can't see why people (not just GSW fans) love this guy so much as an NBA player. Can you guys please explain to me why you (if you do) like Curry so much and why you think he will be an above average NBA player? Expanding further, since it seems semi-inevitabel that the Warriors will have to eventually choose between him and Monta, why we should choose Curry?

I did a search of fanposts and nothing came up so I really, really hope I am not repeating someone else here, but here we go.

Rajai Davis. Yes, Rajai Davis. Have you guys seen what he's been up to across the bay hitting .318/.376/.432 with 40 steals & a WAR of 3.7 in only 380 PA's. To put that in some perspective, on this club that would make him the 2nd best position player and on a per game perspective, out BEST player according to WAR.

To me, I think the Padres offense is in pretty good shape and if the front office is smart about things, their offense could really be special next year. We don't know exactly what the payroll will be set at, but it seems like Moorad said it will raise a bit, so conservatively I think we can expect something around 50-55 million. If it all breaks right, this team could take a big leap forward.

Zito is owed 83 million over 4 years (or 94 million over 5 years) and Soriano is owed 90 million over the next 5 years.

Both contracts are terrible, and if I had asked this question last year I'm sure everyone here would have shouted "obviously, where do I sign?" but this year Soriano has been terrible and Zito has regained some of his old velocity and form.

So if this was a realistic option in the off-season, would you want it?

First off, this is not a gloom and doom post about the greatness of the Rockies and how we can't beat them. I was just examining their team recently and I have to say, their bench with expanded rosters is perhaps the most amazing bench I have ever seen. No, it's not the reason they are winning, but I just find it remarkable. Here is the lineup you can make just off of their bench players

Please no posts about how this is stupid because it will never happen. I know that, you know that, we all know it. This is simply hypothetical fun.  What do you guys think would happen if Sabean brought back Barry (today is the last day to add a player on the 40-man for post-season eligibility) to play a couple weeks in September and into the post-season??? (You can answer with a stat line, general idea, whatever you want).

I see a lot of Bochy bashers on here, and while I'm certainly not a Bochy fan, I don't really consider myself anti-Bochy either. Part of this probably stems from my general view that a manager is just not supremely important, but certainly not all of it since I am aware it is the manager's decision on how use his personnel.
