OT: Cliff Lee

realityconquest — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 21:55:12 -0000

Absurd. That is the only word I can think of to describe what Cliff Lee has done this first month of the 2008 season. Apparently Cliff Lee does not believe in going on a hot streak, he believes more in scorching fire. Yes, his current pace is impossible to maintain, FOR ANYONE. However, I don't think its crazy to think he will be very productive the rest of the way. Curious what you all think of the new Cliff Lee.

What do you guys think of the Giants latest draft pick? Do you see him as a guy with top of the rotation stuff?

Dukes

LOL I just saw this posted before, does it ever end?

"Elijah Dukes - OF - Nationals

According to the St. Petersburg Times, another woman has asked a judge to protect her from Elijah Dukes, saying he sent her threatening text messages.

Can't we just make it mandatory that all women are protected from Dukes? Amanda E. Reese, who said she dated Dukes between August and October, was granted a temporary injunction for protection against domestic violence on Dec. 10. She is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday morning to seek extended protection. "At this point, I fear for me and my child's life, due to his past history with his estranged wife," Reese wrote in her petition to the court. Dec. 17 - 9:04 p.m. ET"

Can't help but laugh here.

What does everyone think of him for next year?

Thanks.

Nate Schierholtz in '08

Anybody else with me that he could be a very productive player in 2008? This kid just keeps on hitting...two months ago there was a post on here about him and I compared him to a Johnny Damon type hitter...and I am going to continue that comparison. With a giants offense that is sorely looking for a boost, he could be a fine contributor I think.

Thanks.

Better Bet for 2008: Jason Schmidt or Mark Mulder?

realityconquest — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 16:41:26 -0000

Who is the better bet for 2008: Jason Schmidt or Mark Mulder? Jason Schmidt had season ending shoulder surgery and just managed 25 innings pitched in 2007 and will be 35 years of age in January. Reports say that Schmidt should be healthy and ready to return fine for Spring training 2008. Mulder had rotator cuff surgery and missed all of 2007 before managing 11 innings in September in which he got blasted and then had arthroscropic surgery on September 12th on the same rotator cuff. Mulder will turn 31 in August of 2008. Schmidt had a solid 2006 campaign and Mulder had a solid 2005 campaign. This is a fantasy related question because each are 1 year contracts for 2008 at bad contracts, and it is not likely I can deal them. However, it is possible I can package one of them with someone else. Help me make the choice.

Thanks a lot.

realityconquest — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 07:22:59 -0000

Just wanted to get everyones opinion on what kind of player you think Loney will become as he matures. What is Loney's ceiling? What would be a fair estimate to expect in '08?

Thanks a lot.

Do you many of you use this site, and if you do, what are your thoughts of it?

Thanks.

danny duffy and daniel cortes

realityconquest — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 23:41:05 -0000

Both of these guys really intrigue me, what do you think their ceilings can be? Any comparables? And even though its a bit too early for Duffy, where do you think Cortes would rank on a top 100 list?

take it easy guys.
