@BigFatHippo: you might just inherit a castle (j.p. donleavy's "the onion eaters") @Grey: should i be throwing E.E under the bus , before he drags me down with him ? (and still , i'm always a bit pleasantly surprised that he's available , relatively late) . IF i could learn that from you , grey , how to quit a player after one year (and maybe even "jumping back on the horse" , when the opportunity calls for it) THEN , you'd be doin' sumpin' .

Harang gave up home runs in Brandon Backe territory last year – even if he does have a better year it’s like he went from broccoli to lettuce. The ice cream is a thing of the past!

@Baron Von Vulturewins: I might consider dealing a nut for Mat Gamel. Finally, a player whose name is MISSING letters (I'm frowning at you, Jhonny).

@Grey: @Baron Von Vulturewins: What would I do with an extra nut anyway, bar tricks?

@Grey: Doesn't matter if there's only one, as long as it's the right one.

@BigFatHippo: Nah, I think I'm cured of my rookie nookie obsession after last year. Besides, I'm impervious to Colby Rasmus. Now if it's Matt LaPorta....

@BigFatHippo: After Bruce last year, I believe he only has his right one remaining.

@Grey: Yeah but guys like that make great trade bait, BVV will give his left nut for rookie nookie.

@BigFatHippo: That's a great call, there's a good chance of that happening.

@Grey: Is it just me or is Rasmus destined to be this years Bruce? Everyone can't wait till he gets here, then can't wait to get him off their team when he does.

Umm.. is it just me or is it obvious that Dusty is good at managing the bullpen load because he leaves his starters in too long?

@Colin: Bruce won't be hitting third to start the year.

Does it look like he’s hitting 5th or 3rd? I take it since Votto strikes out less he’ll be in the 3 slot?

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 20:54:24 +0000

@Colin: Sure, I have him at 85/30/90/.280/10 for 2009.

My Bruce prediction:

.270-.275
31 HR
97 RBI
8 bags

Reasonable?
