Thanks !

Actually if you watched Joba pitch you would realize he has the potential to do what Joel Zumaya did with the Tigers last year.

What the hell was not to like about the Tigers run last year? Great pitching, solid hitting....the only thing not to like was the errors the pitching staff made.

NL Fielder just the way he hits homeruns.
NL Hanley Rameriez the best all around short stop in the majors. Even has some power.
NL Jake Peavey.

AL Ichrio I wish i could watch this guy more. Defensive speed power arm strenth. 5 tool player.

along with cf, SS is the most important defensive position.. oh and he has 19 errors(reyes has 8 ).. hes a better hitter than reyes.. reyes is better at EVERYTHING else(fielding, arm, speed, intangibles).. Reyes is easily a better ALL AROUND shortstop..

my favorites are michael young in a late game situation, whatever star pitcher faces the rangers (though it pisses me off to no end) and whatever flavor of the month pitcher has come up from the minors.
