Hill 11-8, 3.92 ERA
Lilly 15-8, 3.83 ERA
Lieber
Dempster

All three of these are more solid that all yours, minus Sheets, Marquis would be your THIRD starter on your staff, he would fit right in with his 4.60 ERA, hell, maybe 2nd starter. You guys would kill for a guy like Lieber on your team and he is going to be our 4th starter. He is going to be SOLID this year, 15-10 with a 4.4 era....Dempster, well it is Dempster, who knows, but we have like 8 starters so it really won't matter, all the people in the 5 hole will have short leashs, plus our pen is the best in the NL Central and maybe in the NL. Howry/Marmol/Wood (and wood will be a stud, and if he isn't, they will put Dempster back there who had 28 saves last year, not a small feat)

If either of you guys had Jose Contreras in your rotation then you would sleep a lot better

Not with the way I saw him pitch either his last start or two starts ago. The guy on ABC News said "Much of the same from Jose today" and there they go, like three home runs

Between the HR's and BB's yes, he is the generic for Ambien.

my boy Contreras has thrown 14 innings, 13 hits, 10 runs, 8 of them earned. Mr. Floyd is a close runner up with 11 innings, 11 hits, 9 runs, 8 of them earned.

Could it be possible that Contreras doesn't even make the roster? Just a thought, I can't remember if they extended his contract or what this offseason.....

good Lord Scavs..you ever pitched in Tucson? Pitchers get killed there. The air is so dry that nothing curves and you can't get any spin on the ball. Only guys who ever have decent Springs are power pitchers

Not Tuscon but Mesa....I did travel there in high school for spring training, when it was cool for coaches and teachers to go on trips with kids (I got to go my junior year, where we went out there and had our own spring training) Coach Larry had connections in AZ or something. We played their high school in some exhibition games and got smoked in all of them, more so becuase they have been playing since December, and we just found out gloves in March.

Just a note that is all. he should at least show you he has something in the tank.

I feel better than ever about our wager and now think Floyd will win 15 also

And Mesa is not Tuscon..big difference

LOL...

I have only driven though Tuscon, I know it is more mountainy there and the temperature is about 20 degrees different
