2009 Fantasy Baseball Predictions

[Berzerker]

and now for our newbie who had a newbie helping him make picks The Chupacabras

correction: the commentator has been canned

The Capybaras (has not set his team yet)
1. (6) Ryan Howard
2. (19) Vladimir Guerrero
3. (30) Chien-Ming Wang
4. (43) Joe Mauer
5. (54) Ichiro Suzuki
6. (67) Jorge Cantú
7. (78) Jhonny Peralta
8. (91) José López
9. (102) Zack Greinke
10. (115) Jim Thome
11. (126) Ted Lilly
12. (139) Scott Baker
13. (150) Matt Thornton
14. (163) Jay Bruce
15. (174) Troy Percival
16. (187) Joel Hanrahan
17. (198) Orlando Cabrera
18. (211) Jeremy Guthrie
19. (222) Cameron Maybin
20. (235) Rickie Weeks
21. (246) Melvin Mora
22. (259) J.P. Howell

Oh well, wheres the silver lining? Ryan Howard... Woooaaa, the next best RBI man is Melvin Mora taken in the 21st? Some good news, Peralta is ripping the cover off the ball
and with some key rebounds this team can still compete (with waiver wire help). Ichiro's steals wont matter without help. Maybe the Maybin can help, need more help. Mauer Thome and Vlad need comebacks. The pen is okay at 2-2 S/H but the closers are ?? Hit the waiver wire. And I'm sure you can improve on that rotation, it aint horrible but I'd go hunting anyway.

[SlowwHand]

I beg to differ. I have the best 2B/SS tandem.

[Berzerker]

Who exactly was so "high and mighty" about anything?



Are you buying into the Slowpaganda again?

Answer my question

Oh, and as Berz hasn't answered me, I'm guessing that means he knows its a LIE!

Geez Imran, relax

high = boastful
mighty = champion

high and mighty = boastful champion

Or as I visualize you, a chimp beating his chest with his head turning from side to side with protruding lips oo oo aa aa ee ee

look out for that tree

[SlowwHand]

Ok then.

[Berzerker]

sorry Fab, Quietus won that pennant race, you came in 2nd hehehehehe

[Berzerker]

I'll give EPW the edge to win the pennant race over Guy, but Guy will win the play offs (SPs being the reason). These 2 are the class of the league

EPW
Calamitous Intent

Dwarf Tossers
Red Barons
Next Big Thing
Fist Sox
Lebron James DH
Siddiqui Slammers
Ozzy's Sluggers
Hobgoblins
Blazin Berz
Capybaras

[Imran Siddiqui]

Geez Imran, relax

high = boastful
mighty = champion

high and mighty = boastful champion

Fails in context you put it in:

this team our defending chump is so high and mighty about

When was I boastful about this team? Guilty on the champion part though


Would you like to try again?

[Imran Siddiqui]

sorry Fab, Quietus won that pennant race, you came in 2nd hehehehehe

So the Cubbies were really NL Champs last season?
And the Angels AL Champs?

[Guynemer]

I'll give EPW the edge to win the pennant race over Guy, but Guy will win the play offs (SPs being the reason). These 2 are the class of the league

I fear that I shall be powerless in the face of the mullet.

[OzzyKP]

Berz:
1. EPW
2. Calamitous Intent (Guy)
3. Dwarf Tossers (Slow)
4. Red Barons (Snoopy)
5. Next Big Thing (EmpFab)
6. Fist Sox (Fist)
7. Lebron James DH (JDD)
8. Siddiqui Slammers (Imran)
9. Ozzy's Sluggers (Ozzy)
10. Hobgoblins (Stuie)
11. Blazin Berz (Berz)
12. Capybaras

Imran:
1) Stuie
2) EmpFab
3) Snoopy
4) Imran
4) Guy
6) EPW
7) JDD
8) Slow
9) Fist
10) Berz
11) Ozzy
12) Capybaras

Interesting difference between Berz' and Imran's rankings. Imran picks Stuie to win it all, and Berz puts him near the bottom. Both put EmpFab, Snoopy & Guy in the top 5, and both put Berz, me , and Capy in the bottom 5. Everything else seems to be up for debate.

[EPW]

You don't write my team name AND you fail to quote MY predictions. And you put me in the "up for debate" category even though I am at the top of 2 out of the 3 prediction lists.

[Imran Siddiqui]

To clarify, I'm not picking to "win it all". Just picking how good the draft choices are. Too many things happen during the season. Someone will pick up the next Cliff Lee or Josh Hamilton and go far.

Just to clarify, your team is GARBAGE.

I should have broken it up into more tiers, me and Capy are at the bottom and everyone in between from Stuie to Snoopy are real close in talent. It was tough switching back and forth between 7-8 teams trying to see differences.

When was I boastful about this team?

When you denied the critics of your team by repeatedly citing last year's championship and all those wonderful stats you're using. Sure sounded high minded to me

still in denial
