Free Agents

David:

Are there any free agents you see the Bobcats taking a shot at? Also my dream is that we somehow land Carlos Boozer. Is there any scenario in which that could happen?

I mean we could have two great low post threats. One better offensively, one better defensively and both tearing up the rebounds. The only other moves I keep hearing is the "threat" of Allen Iverson joining this team. I'm just wondering what you or anyone else has heard.

Quarterbacks

Just a guess but there probably isn't anyone on the board that is satisfied with the QB situation. This brings me to my question...what QB would you like to see the Vikings take in the draft.

I'm under the opinion that JDB is pretty worthless. I'd like them to take a guy in the 4-6 rounds and work with him. Some guys I like:

Nate Davis
Stephen McGee
Rhett Bomar

I've seen all of these guys play (Live in Nebraska and go to the university) and they all strike me as intriguing players that might be worth a later round pick.

Davis in particular I feel is being thrown under a bus for a supposed learning disability.

McGee is a phenomenal athlete that isn't prone to making mistakes. I really want this guy above all the others.

Bomar has got several tools. He's a strong dude but an unorthodox throwing style bothers me.

So who do you guys want if you can draft anyone at QB?

This kid and the Nationals are destined to fail.

Who Wins Cleveland's Next Cy Young?

mjschaefer — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 04:37:05 -0000

We all know the details that CC Sabathia won it in 07 and Cliff Lee took the honors while pitching for the Tribe last year. Making it fairly obvious that Cleveland will be the home of the 2009 Cy Young.

Let's examine the candidates-

Cliff Lee- Lee won the award last year with an impressive performance that Chuck couldn't have even seen coming. Chances are he'll fall slightly back to Earth.

Fausto Carmona- Arguably Fausto was a better pitcher than Sabathia in 2007 but he didn't have the name value or the K's to win over the writers. Carmona struggled with injuries all through out 2008.

Anthony Reyes- Reyes was brought over from the Cardinals in the middle of the season. He worked well in the few starts that he had before being shut down due to elbow pain.

Carl Pavano- The greatest wild-card of them all. Pavano has done nothing of note since before he signed with the Yankees. Now the oft-injured pitcher hopes to cash in on an incentive laced one year deal with the Tribe.

Aaron Laffey- The most likely candidate to start the year in the five spot. He's a soft tossing lefty that pitched well at times early last year. Laffey is an LGT favorite

Jeremy Sowers- Another soft tossing lefty, Sowers hasn't reclaimed the success he found in the summer of 2006. He's in the race for the fifth spot. He's the anti-Laffey in that he is also a soft-throwing lefty but few people among the board like him.

Kerry Wood- If stupid K-Rod can get votes why not Wood?

Typo in the first sentence of the article. Kind of hilarious.

Damn. The best discussion on this blog is now over. Adam Dunn has apparently taken a deal with the Nationals.
