Any MLB sleepers this year?

[donjuan]

I'd have to disagree. While I'm sure you have a low opinion of me and anyone else who writes out their predictions on futures, I'd like to see you come up with one example where in any futures write up on this site the guy mentions a pitcher who hasn't been on the team for 3 years as IN the starting rotation, and then goes ahead and confirms it wasn't a typo by alluding to said players age.

The guy doesn't know anything about the Mets, so he pulled up a depth chart and saw the name Oliver. He searched the name Oliver, saw the guy was old, so he tosses in the sentence "He is way past his prime". Pathetic. What makes it even funnier is that Darren Oliver pitched very well out of the Angels bullpen last year.

You can argue that other futures are pointless or poorly written all you want, but at least they get the rosters right.

IMO the other analysis presented is just paying the vig. Thus, for the purpose of gambling, neither is worse than the other.

[SBR Lou]

The Braves also qualify as a sleeper, IMO.

And although irrelevant, I like them tonight too.

[Machine Choice]

KC Royals, Solid as hell really, thats a team that could do exactly what Tampa did last year. Solid players all around and the best closer that no one knows about.

They'll make the playoffs by outscoring people,

Rangers score 7 off Cliff Lee.

[ryanXL977]

Rangers score 7 off Cliff Lee.

i think its safe to say the rangers offense is not a question mark.

[Chi_archie]

cliff lee is horrible lifetime against these hitters
and lee had the worst spring training i've ever seen an major leaguer have.....

he is big time fade material until further notice

Considering the numbers he put up last year, he is a prime candidate to regress this year.

Texas is 3-0 to start the year, RL's covered 3-0, and averaging almost 10 runs per game thus far......

Lou, last time you bragged about starting off 3-0, things didn't turn out so good... http://forum.sbrforum.com/players-ta...et-so-far.html

crazylou, you just saw why the rangers are a 77 win team. no defense, no pen, and very little starting pitching. this team will need to score 6 runs a game to have a chance most days, especially road games.

worst pen
worst defense in the league
best hitting? perhaps, but it matters little

new year
same rangers

damnit

can't say it any better, IF THEY JUST HAD EVEN 2 PITCHERS, DECENT pitchers, they could be sooooo much better but when u got millwood, crazy wife benson and padilla flotilla that aint gonna get ya that far

why doesn't hicks ever look at signing a quality pitcher

[ryanXL977]

rangers bullpen just wasted the best start on the road by any ranger pitcher in ten years

another year, EXACT same story from this shit team

i ****ing hate them. i didnt even bet them, but they are my team and they are hot trash.

[ryanXL977]

again
let me restate
the rangers play some of the worst baseball in the league

they dont move runners, they dont play d, they dont pitch

this team will fire its manager within 4 weeks from today

total garbage team
they can have all the prospects they want, they swing at everything
they ****ing suck

i give up on them. ive been a fan since i was 8, but i give up.

PIRATES and PADRES

[ryanXL977]

5

thats the percent chance the pads have of winning 72 games

they are horrid

they beat the giants at home
big deal
they have nothing

[Chi_archie]

Ryan you'll give me +2000 on the pads winning over 71.5 games??

[ryanXL977]

dont be ridiculous

a: i dont bet
b: for the 100000th time, youre not dumb, yet you consistently take me literally when you know im not being literal

the padres are a bad bad major league team who has had a good week.

I am home with my family. Ok now for two years left, I supposed to forget about people like you that may still need salvation, sorry bud can't do that.

As stated before you bring alot of this on yourself. You gambled over your head and owe so many. You need to get your live in order.

[ryanXL977]

Does salvation involve gambling? you seem like a pretty educated guy, well versed in grammar, punctuation, and massive sudden weight gain. IF I punch you in the face and you punch someone else, does the person you punch get mad at me? Brain dead. Truly brain dead. Im done with you, youre just not smart. I owe one person in the world money. Uno chubs. Uno

Good point

my thesis wasnt that they post a lot, its that they chose to use those posts for trolling

grow a pair loser

[rjt721]

Okay, stiff.

RYAN the point here is you are making a lot of people upset. Not sure what is going on in your life. You need to evaulate yourself real good.


You owe people, you call people names. Your argumentative. WHY???

I have not attacked you nor has other posters but you are so quick to attack.

May God change your heart and change it soon.

[Chi_archie]

Pirates might go over their o/u number if Duke is for real again, and Snell can pull it together....

BEN from CW called me before the season and asked me this question of thread and I told him PIRATES.
