And on the seventh day, God rested. Having created the heavens and the Earth, the seas and all they contain, He ceased all labors. But the seventh day being a Sunday, and with all of His fantasy teams playing, He needed a shortstop. So God created Derek Jeter, and blessed him, and said unto him, be fruitful. And Jeter was good. Jeter held dominion over opposing pitchers (.343 AVG in 2006), was plentiful in power (14 HR and 97 RBIs), and moved over the earth (34 steals) and across home plate (118 runs). And God blessed Jeter, and sanctified him, and said to Roto owners everywhere, make Jeter your No. 1 middle infielder.

It looks like Eric Wedge has already made his decision. For the first time since the Clinton Administration, someone not named Ichiro will be leading off for the Mariners on Opening Day.

Lots of optimism around the Jays. Revamped pen, an explosive offense that can put of runs with the best of them (or it SHOULD), and a pitching staff full of promise led my Romero. Lots of things gotta go right: Lawrie plays at his MVP-type level, pitching staff evolves, especially Drabek and Morrow, Alvarez continues to impress, and Rasmus and Johnson get back on track. I'm really looking forward to this season!
I think the Marlins will be a .500 team even with what they did (Johnson will get hurt again), Tigers win division easy, Royals finish 3rd, Texas and Angels both make playoffs, Phillies win the division, Nats win a WC spot, mets finish last, Cincy wins the NL Central, DBacks win the West again. 4 teams in the AL east will be over .500, and if that 2nd WC is added, NY and TB make it, Toronto and Boston miss out.

Yikes. I'm looking forward to taking in some games this year, hope they are a lot more competitive.Gonna be nice seeing Jesus play every day. I still don't know if the Yanks made the right call with him. I would have loved seeing him in pin stripes for the next decade. But, I get to watch him play every season in Seattle now. Another reason to go to more games would be to see Pujols in his prime, Verlander and Prince play three this season too. Can't wait.

And on the seventh day, God rested. Having created the heavens and the Earth, the seas and all they contain, He ceased all labors. But the seventh day being a Sunday, and with all of His fantasy teams playing, He needed a shortstop. So God created Derek Jeter, and blessed him, and said unto him, be fruitful. And Jeter was good. Jeter held dominion over opposing pitchers (.343 AVG in 2006), was plentiful in power (14 HR and 97 RBIs), and moved over the earth (34 steals) and across home plate (118 runs). And God blessed Jeter, and sanctified him, and said to Roto owners everywhere, make Jeter your No. 1 middle infielder.

And now a renew my, now, 3 year plea to Mr. Morneau to retire while he is still somewhat healthy. Justin, you got money, are relatively healthy, your family is set for life. Let it go, let it go.

[/QUOTE] His choice. Kinda like Clemens on 2007. He'll sign with a contender around June/July. But not just anyone...STL and Texas still favorites. Turned down a 1 year deal from Boston.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.
- So wait, Ichiro is 38 now? with nosediving numbers and going to bat cleanup? Wow? Must be pretty sad over there.... Getting ready to be trolled by Angels fans, somebody let them know a players prime is from age 24-32, how many years old do we think Pujols really is? Expect a career year from Beltran and watch the Cards go farther than the Angels. lol Anyone else get a letter to be a charter member of the MLB Insiders club? Supposedly i have a free blanket on the way among other things, $24 for two years.
