Escobar could be solid, and it's not like he has a high bar to clear to be better than Yuni. Best-case scenario for Cain is that he turns into Denard Span. Jeffress has a triple-digit fastball and hammer curve but he's a pot head with control issues - could be an elite closer if he harnesses his stuff. Odorizzi isn't quite as good as the Royals' existing top pitching prospects but he's isn't far behind - he's got a good fastball and curve, developing change-up, and great command.

thanks

No problem.

Congrats on getting the # 1 guy on my Minors draft board, VD.  I got my #2.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves if I walk away the winner in the elimination & wins/losses contests.  Although it will keep me from having to pay for HBD for awhile.

busk, how did you have Wynn rated? I didn't see him.

All? Maybe just the ones who actually competed against you?

I'm hoping you lose at least one of them so you'll have enough luck left over to finish with a better record than moy in $.

heh, won't be necessary.  I am making 2011 the 3rd coming of the Y.O.B.

You should give me some of the money I saved you by forgetting to setup the Phillies/Cubs bet this year.

Those are two of the handful of guys I can't see.

That (not seeing Wynn) sucks. Gotta love still missing 2 of the top 6 with 18/18.

what a horrible year for the Cubbies...and picking up Pena for 1yr./$10mil isn't something I am happy about either.

No, those who didn't compete should feel doubly ashamed.

We could do it again next year - except I'd probably have to spot you like 25 games to make it fair...
