Wednesday Value Plays

[fifawcs]

I went 0-1 -1.00 units yesterday.

Brewers -112
Pros: Dave Bush is very good at home. Oliver Perez struggles on the road. The Brewers crush lefties since they have a righty-saturated lineup. Brew are trying to avoid being swept.

Cons: Brewer's pen

Yes, this one looks good. Perez is thrash. U should play the 1st 5 innings as well. Also, look at Red Sox -2.5 line and also Cleveland and Toronto, Seattle, Dodgers, Cardinals..

[ICE-BLOOD]

line not too high

[Wilforth]

Nats is worth a shot as well.

[ryanXL977]

for a guy who thinks nelson cruz's minor league stats have any relevance to the majors, you should listen to people who watch baseball more, and look at AAA stats less

the brewers arent as good as their record. they are a CC away from being the houston astros

For a guy who disregards all minor league stats I would say you got no clue wtf you are talking about, like always.

How can you say that "they are not as good as their record." - Think about that one for a long while.. Brewers are 4.5 games ahead of the phils who can't hit even with all those good bats in their line up.

You are also one who said A-Rod isn't even close to being one of the best players to play the game. Go read some baseball prospectus or something bro. You are embarrassing yourself a little more and more with every post.

youa re right, clearly zelson cruz last 3 years in the majors indicate how good he is

i am not sure whats more impressive, his 230 career average, his 16 homers in 154 games, his 59 rbis, or his 280 obp

you are right, mminor league stats mean a lot
great call , as ususal from you

[ryanXL977]

show me where i said arod isnt close to being on of the best HITTERS

he is one of the most mediocre to below average FIELDERS

have you ever played baseball in your life? serioously

[Kingctb27]

I agree Cruz isn't going to put up those stats in the majors, but you can't say that all minor leaguers stats are worthless. Look at Lincecums, Pujols, A-Rods, Berkmans, Billingsley's, etc and see how they dominated and how they are doing so in the majors.

As for A-Rod, here ya go.

[ryanXL977]

nelson cruz is in no way shape or from comparable to those other top tier psopects
every one of those guys was the biggest psopect their team had

nelson cruz wasnt really ever a big deal dude
maybe when he was on milw he was supposed to be decent, but he wasnt very big

and arod spent how long in the minors? berkman how long?
pujols how long?

[Kingctb27]

Ok I agree about Cruz not being that big of a prospect, but I'm just saying these guys were all in the minors and you told me that you don't look at anything in the minors. Horrible mistake to make. Esp. if you are going to play in fantasy leagues.

[ryanXL977]

i guess i should have said this. i look at minor league stats with a grain of salt

there have been far too many eric anthonys, and other AAAA players whose stats didnt translate

Got cha. Even some of the "locks" like Alex Gordon have done shit in the majors.

[ryanXL977]

gordon
dallas macpherson
ruben rivera
ruben mateo
jose cruz jr

i can go on!

[fiveteamer]

This Twins line seems out of wack to me.

I think I'm going to back the Twins here.

[ryanXL977]

yeah me too
even though their starters just arent so hot on the road

[fifawcs]

Yankees +102
Pros: As injured as Pavano has been in his career as a Yankee, he has pitched well in his first two starts of 2008. I can only see his control get better as the end of the season comes to an end. Pavano and the Yanks have a lot to play for. Even though Pavano realizes that he most likely will not be re-signed, he knows that this month is his time to prove that he can still pitch at the major league level and gain a lucrative contract for next season. The Yankees are also in a pennant race and realize that this game is as important as game 7 of a playoff. There is a little less urgency for the rays, even though they will be looking to retain their large AL East lead. Pavano has faced the Orioles and the Jays this season. Those two are similar to the rays in terms of the average age of their players. They are all pretty young ball clubs with little experience against the seasoned veterans of the league, such as pavano. Mussina has such a great career versus the Rays because he is aware of younger player's free swinging tendencies. Pavano, like Mussina, will be economical in this game and keep his pitch count to a minimum. I am expecting him to pitch at least 7 innings. While Edwin Jackson has been good this year, expect the Yanks to make him labor.

Cons: The Rays are at home.

[ryanXL977]

i like this one
yanks as a dog vs a lousy starter

and he is not a big deal, he is a walk machine

[crackerjack]

I would've picked Brewers too, but it's tough to bet againts Mets in this spot so it became a no play.
