really, Longhorn - think he'll be injured for the entire season?

BTW - in case you forgot, there's not supposed to be discussion in those projection threads. thats why we have these.

as for Clueless's comment - dumb.

people are going nuts so far with incredibly optimistic projections. I didn't realize so many people were so high on him

OT: Dirk Goes Down

Almost like a mercy killing for this season. In some ways, this is more palatable than another 7 game series playoff loss

OT: Troll Script

ab03 — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 18:22:39 -0000

Ok, so I went ahead and made a GreaseMonkey script where you can prevent the posts and diaries of certain users from showing up on your screen. Obviously, nobody has to use this and I'm probably not going to use it for too many users (if any), but thought I would put it out there. It's not so user friendly but I just did it in a night so if anybody wants to modify it and make it look prettier, easier to use feel free. I'm also not really a programmer so it might not be the most efficient code.

Download: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/22456

Requirements:
-Firefox
-GreaseMonkey Add-On

Installation:
-Go to the website and hit "Install this Script."
-Should automatically install the script

At this point, you'll be up and running with the script blocking all of our favorite troll's posts and diaries (no offense to him, someone had to be the default). To add more trolls, it will take a bit more computer literacy.

-Go into GreaseMonkey->Manage User Scripts
-Click on No Troll on the left and then clock on Edit on the bottom left.
-Now it will ask you to specify an editing program so you'll have to navigate to notepad (C:\\windows\\notepad.exe) or a similar program
-This will open up the script. Navigate half way down to the "Specify Trolls" section and enter in the information.

I can help you with the above part but just try it out and see if it works for you.

I was thinking about it and it might mess up the flow of the board if you blocked someone and kept repeating what they said because you didn't know they had said it but I guess proceed at your own risk. Again, putting it out there - use it if you want.

Top 50 Free Agents

Keith Law did a pretty good rundown of the top 50 free agents. I couldn't actually tell if the rankings reflected his thoughts or what the market valued them as (he ranks eckstein 15 but bashes him; ranks andruw jones as the highest CF), but the write ups are pretty good.

It is Insider but they are doing a free preview

Anybody have any advice, things I need to see, stuff I should look out for?

Sitting first base side so won't have the opportunity of sitting by scouts which I kind of wanted to do.

Utley has broken hand

just saw it on Baseball Tonight/Sportscenter whatever I'm watching. Not sure this really affects anything in terms of trades but I'm not an expert on these things.

Fabio Castillo

What the hell? Any articles about him being bad at taking instruction or having nagging injuries, or not having as good of stuff as previously seen?

ERA:7.04
WHIP: 2.04
BAA: .353
K/9: 6.65
BB/9: 4.3

I guess I should be happy with the strikeouts? Of course, he was born in 1989 and it's probably too early to make any judgments about him. I would just like to know what's wrong.
