Matt Garza sucks 

Post#1 » by treyZz » Wed Apr 9, 2008 12:19 am

Most over-rated pitching prospect in a while.

That is all.

Rays got raped in that trade.

Small sample sizes suck.

By the way, who did Garza get traded for? Delmon Young you say, well he has a .600 OPS, guess who else sucks.

Young can probably throw off the mound better.

I have a ton more faith in Young turning it around than Garza.. I've always felt he was over-rated. He will continue to get hammered all year -- mark it down.

Why what he Young proven? He hasn't done anything since he got out of AA. I don't even think he has a walk this year, which is terrible. I don't expect Young to be much more than a Francouer type, which isn't all that valuable in real life.

Hammered? Doubt it, but I don't expect anything lower than a 4.30 ERA, mostly because the Rays defense isn't good and this will be his first full year in the bigs.

If Garza is overrated, Delmon must be super overrated or some crazy stuff like that, because Delmon has always been the more talked about player, easily.

Well, the gimp was only worth 26 fantasy points tonight. He obviously was immediately waived by me and forever added to my **** list.

Others on that list include:

Corey Patterson
Jeff Kent

etc..

You should probably include Phil Hughes too, he'll amount to nothing.....same with Cano, he isn't hitting hsit this year. Same with Hunter Pence, he's hitting like .187, same with Tulowitzki.....

Would you care to make a significant wager on Garza's ERA this season?

I don't think you can make that claim at this time.

Garza is probably out for a month, and Young had a good rookie season last year. But Young has holes too.

Repost this a few years down the road. By then you may have something tangible to back up your claim. :roll:

Garza is pretty overrated IMHO, but oh well.
