That's not issue. I told you I think it could be him. They don't like his work ethic. Although I disagree with the choice. I would leave Nova and Pineda in the rotation and let the compete the first month of the year until Pettitte comes back. At that point make decision based upon the first month of the year. Who knows, at that point one of them or even someone else could be injured and the decision is made for you.

Phillies interested in Paul Janish...deal.
For anything.

I think you raped that draft. Johnson will compete for a Cy Young, Cain will be dominant, and Hanson will be dominant for the half season that he's healthy. Braun and Jennings help cover any mistakes in the outfield too. That's a deep playoff run type of draft.

Looks very good depending on what you think of the young guys. I dont know the most about baseball though, so take muy advice with a grain of salt. Seems to me a good deal of your fate will be tied to the production of Lawrie/Jennings/Josh Johnson/Hanson though.

Pretty good Fenikz. No Goldschmidt?

Parts look similar to mine that I had on the last page

More garbage gone. Got JJ Hoover back.
Any word on him?

Nalej · 04-01-2012, 11:14 AM

Red Sox starting rotation:

1-J. Lester
2- J. Beckett
3- C. Bucholz
4. F. Doubront
5- D. Bard

I'm excited to see how our new 4 and 5 pitchers do. The potential is there, that's for sure.
Then we'll have DiceK and Slackey coming back later on...
I'm still a DiceK supporter but I want Slackey out of town... like yesterday!

I thought Aceves was in the rotation and Bard was back to the pen? I guess all the reports last week were false?

Nalej · 04-01-2012, 11:23 AM

Yea, it was all speculation until Valentine announced it yesterday (I believe)
I like Aceves as the #6/jack of all trades type. Makes our rotation that more flexible.

Xiomera · 04-01-2012, 11:28 AM

Are there any notable names of guys that might get cut that can't be sent to the minors?

Brandon Inge will probably, unfortunately make the Tigers' 25-man roster to begin the year, but it's possible he gets cut soon after.

OF Clete Thomas would be a good pickup for some teams if the Tigers keep Andy Dirks over him.

Hoover seems like he could be a decent setup guy. Really came on strong last year in the minors. Incredibly expendable for the Braves considering they have about 4 young short relief guys better than him already in the system.

Still, a little surprised the Braves gave up an arm for a guy who seems to be awful and lazy if that link is to be believed.

He is lazy.
He has no plate discipline.
Strike out or HR type.

That said, if you somehow harness his potential, you have a stud.

I had big hopes for Juan.
Where would Hoover ranked now in our pitching prospects?

Won't let me copy paste what they say. Also has a vid of him

One of my friends just tweeted Joe Mauer tore his ACL, but I can't find it anywhere. If this is true, I will murder every living thing.

Harold Reynolds took Mariano Rivera with his first round pick in the MLB network fantasy draft. Jeebus Rice

Being a Giants fan sucks ass. Thank God they won the World Series because that will be the very last one I'll see them win. **** this ****.

Justin Maxwell I would think will end up on some other team. He's out of options. He hit 16 HRs in 177 ABs in AAA before getting injured last year.
