Stormin’ Norman – Keep writing mildy amusing posts and leave the fantasy critiquing to the big boys.

Ass.

Bino- Your pitching is full of question marks and even if they pan out, it puts your pitching in the middle of the pack.

Is this what its like when I bitch about this stuff? Awful.

I just didn’t want SN to complain. Talk about a backfire.

It’s WAY better than Stormin Norman’s pitching…King Felix, Oswalt, Brian Wilson, Jenks, Harang, RJ, and Dumpster vs Liriano, Joba, Dice K, Wainright, Carpenter, Danks, Devine …and u gave him a C+…personal opinion…thoughts from any objective bystanders??

I can’t say that you aren’t deserving of a B, because no, I didn’t look at the numbers. What I see though is a staff that has a question mark at the top with Liriano, a great talent no doubt, but he didn’t play last year.

And while there is in fact no dreaded “weak spot” there is no lauded “strong spot” after Dice-K and Joba. Those guys will do fine, but I still think pretty average. Obviously, I’m likely wrong.

Interesting take on my pitching…Did you take a look at the numbers…while I lack a top of the line starter, I believe my depth (Liriano, Joba, Dice K, Wainright, Carpenter, Danks, Devine) leaves me without the dreaded “weak” spot in the rotation. The highest pitcher ERA on my team is a 3.91 (Liriano) and everyone after that is below 3.32… Because of this, I believe I’m more deserving of a “B.”

Ok here’s what’s wrong with your grade on my offense: You didn’t consider that I have great averages across the board, so I will have a good chance to win runs, steals AND average every week, giving me 3/5 hitting categories consistently (I hope). Shoulda been a B+.

Also, is anyone interested in Carlos Quentin?
