I think the Pads staff is criminally overrated.  Even though Peavy IMO is the best pitcher in baseball today, I'm not sold on Chris Young.  I think the 2nd half Chris Young is the real Chris Young.  Maddux is what in his 40th season at the age of 62 ?  Randy Wolf yea lol.


peavy is a top 3 pitcher (santana and beckett)

chris young is a solid #2

maddux may be old but he probably teaches everyone on that staff something from his years of experience. and maddux is top 10 all time he can retire on his own terms.

they lose Linebrink which is a big loss but they sitll have Mr Stat Paddler Trevor Coughman in the bullpen

you don't have to worry about him unless its a pressure situation ;)

I was talking just about the starting rotation not the whole staff.  But has Hoffman ever saved a semi important game in his life ?  He even blew the all star game in 06 lol.

Hoffman puts up great stats but has so many 1/3 inning saves (one batter) that his stats make him look better than he is

he blew some world series games against the Yankees in 98

pretty much every big game he has been in he has sucked.  The only big games he did his job was the 98 NLDS and NLCS.  Hoffman is the definition of a complier.

Whats your opinion on Torre as a manager.  Maybe I am blinded by my hatred for the Yanks but I think he is criminally overrated.  This first 6 years of dominance till this day I think Zimmer had a lot of input on the baseball side of things.  And I think Paul O'Neil was the on to keep the club house together.  Plus it didn't hurt having one of the greatest lineups ever assembled.  But after Zimmer left and O'Neil retired he made a lot of questionable decisions on the field and in the clubhouse.    I really think Torre is going to fail in LA.  I think the Dodgers will be a competitive team.  I just don't think he is the manager to get them over the hump.  In Queens we got Joe Torre lite as the manager and I think he is a horrendous in game manager and I know Randolph and Torre are very similar.

It won't take long for the media and Dodger fans to turn on Torre. It's hilarious how most Dodger fans and local media are treating Torre like some sort of savior.  They are comparing him arrival to Phil Jackson's arrival.  That's just stupid.

he's good at handling ego's but i'd rather have Bobby Cox overall.  Torre was a players guy, way too easy on people.

last year bobby abreu, mike mussina and johnny damon all showed up to spring training vastly out of shape--no other manager/coach/whatever would allow that shit to happen

I was going to vote for the Giants on the sole basis that they are my team. In reality, if Zito pitches like he did when he first came into the league (I don't think this will happen though), they are looking really good. Cain was good last year, he just had the WORST run support, Lincecum has some nasty stuff and hopefully has better command, and Lowry is an effective lefty. The 5th starter is also a question, but most rotations have that same problem.
I got a bird's eye view
