Why is Javy Lopez batting seventh or eighth in the lineup and when will this change?

He has declined since three years ago.  Will this change, maybe.  Orioles is moving him to 1B, and hope by reducing his catcher duty he can hit better.  You can keep an eye on it.  It's still too early to drop him.  After all, a good offensive catcher is hard to find.

Francisco Liriano #47  \n Height: 6-2       Weight: 201\nBats: L       Throws: L\nBorn: Oct 26, 1983 - San Cristobal, Dominican Republic\nCollege: None\nDraft: None \n \nLiriano found out Friday that he requires Tommy John surgery, a ligament transplant procedure that usually takes at least a year to recover from. \n\nLiriano and the Minnesota Twins were afraid of this: His left elbow needs major surgery, and the pitching sensation is expected to miss the 2007 season. \n\nThe 23-year-old Liriano met Friday with noted specialist Dr. Lewis Yocum. The surgery is scheduled for Monday with team physician Dr. John Steubs assisting Yocum. \n\nPromoted to the rotation in mid-May, Liriano dominated the league with a wicked slider that he often threw well over 90 mph. He went 12-3 with a 2.16 ERA and 144 strikeouts in 121 innings as a rookie.

Well I don´t think they are going to play him. The selectors have just picked him. But, if he plays, then he should be batting at no. 3 or either no. 4. Because it´s simple: If they send him as a opener, then they might face a problem with their scoring rate. Sending him at no. 4 or no., would make no sense, a all. Because, then they would need some quick scoring or some clean hitting from a good clean hitter, and that is something that Jaffer can´t really do.\n\nRawal.

He's in the minors. He's not good enough since he's 9-1-1. \nJust kidding. He's injured.

Mike Stanton lately has not been as great pitching as in the past, but if you need someone for one or two outs, he most likely will be your man. Alex Gonzalez is a great addition. His glove is great and his batting average has gone up this year while in Boston. It's a shame the Red Sox did not resign him, because they have not a great short stop in a while, however, I think they will fit in well with the Reds orginization.

you should have dropped G. Anderson months ago.\n\nPrince Fielder is still available in your league, that is nuts.  Jose Lopez is great at 2nd base because he gets the Runs and Rbi's.  Both Maddux and Pettite suck this year.

First order of business is the bullpen.  They have blown so many situations for the starters.  Until you get bullpen help whether it be via trade or farm system there isn't much hope.  I think the it is the achilles heel of the team.  You have two solid startes in Smoltz and Hudson, while Ramirez has been flashing signs of goodness.  Starters are not their weakness and neither is the lineup, it is the pen!!!

Well, there's 162 games in a season and your team looks stacked to me.  Delgado is warming up, Pudge started out well, Sheffield always takes a little time, Manny is getting hot....Pitching looks well rounded.  I would let it ride to be honest.  You'll win soon and I don't think you'll stop.

He is scheduled to start his first MLB game on June 22. Should things go well and they follow the normal five day rotation, he would start on the 27th, but it may be delayed. I think you will see him on the 27th or 28th.

The bluejays are a great hitting and slugging team.  Vernon Wells is hot and Troy Glaus is great protection for him.  Also they are 30-20 tied for first and 1.5 up on Toronto.

It's spring training, and the teams all have "split squads" because they have enough players in camp to do it. It's a way of letting the minor league prospects and major league veterans to all get significant playing time so they can be properly evaluated during game situations.

No, Kemp is not that good.  Don't take him.  And, though I am not an Angels fan, I would like to see Napoli as the starting catcher, cuz hes pretty good.

Chacon for sure.  \n\nI suspect that you want to pick one of them from free agents.  Chacon's starter job is a little more secure than Ponson, but maybe won't last long.  When Pavano comes back, he will start.  So Chacon and Jaret Wright will compete for the fifth spot in the rotation.  Most likely Wright would get the job because of his huge contract.  \n\nPicking either of them is not good choice, because you will lose ERA and WHIP.  You can try someone from Giants - NL west is very weak and has more pitcher-friendly ballparks.

OF/1B Xavier Nady, 1B Carlos Delgado, CP Billy Wagner, RP Jorge Julio, RP John Maine, and C Paul Lo Duca are the most notable new additions.\n\nHope they come in handy, I'm tired of the Braves winning the NL East!!!

LETS GO METS!!!  I AM SO READY FOR THIS...IM SO EXCITED.  THE BRAVES' STREAK WILL END AND IF OUR STARTERS STAY HEALTHY WE WILL BE OK.  TODAY THEY ANNOUNCED THAT IT WILL BE BANNISTER IN THE ROTATION AND NOT HEILMAN.  LETS SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

It's obviously a risk signing anyone close to 40, but it's tough to pass up considering how much he'll upgrade the DH position.  His numbers should far surpass last year's DH-by-committee group of Shea Hillenbrand, Gregg Zaun, Eric Hinske, Cat, and the rest of that motley bunch.\n\nHe's been hurt a lot lately, but he's appeared in 135 or more games in 12 of his 16 seasons, and he had over 550 plate appearances in 2006.  If he can come close to repeating last year's success, I'd be very happy.\n\nNow, as for signing Royce Clayton when Julio Lugo is available, well, that's another story.  I guess it upgrades the D, but I hope they're using that leftover money to go hard after Meche and/or Lilly.
