Who do you think will get the most wins in the giants starting rotation??

Matt Morris. He was a proven pitcher in St. Louis.

halladay and santana. give wood a couple of starts before using him in ur lineup.
383212
the cardinals. cmon, they have the best lineup of baseball, nd chris carpenter nd mark mulder r great pitchers. jason marquis will provide great hitting (an rbi double today!), but just remember...in a lineup with albert pujols, jim edmonds, scott rolen, nd yadier molina (who had a terrific rookie season) there is NO DOUBT that they will win the division nd even possibly the world series. \nplus they already sweeped the phillies, so yea haha

Derrick Lee hands down. People wouldn't even think twice about this question if it weren't for the fact Lee was injured last season. Lee is one of those players that would still start if he were a .230 batter because he can play defense. It just so happens the guy can hit too. \nAsk this question again next year. I guarentee people will be like, Konerko Who?

Right now?  Boone.  \nI really would like to see Marte move up and start before the end of the season though.  Sure Boone is hitting well lately but I just don't have much confidence in him long term.  I feel he hit the inning ending ground out in too many key RBI opportunites last year.\n\nIf the bullpen doesn't quit blowing games, it won't matter.

The SF Giants will not only win the division but will win the NL Crown and be in the WS..they have the best pitching staff in the NL hands down...and the best overall starting 8 (if healthy)...and they have great defense up the middle with Durham/Vizquel/Matheny and Winn...Not only that the addition of Finley for a has been in Alfonso was a great move..because he will spell the 3 OF's too keep them fresh and/or he could start and play Alou at 1b on occasion too give Sweeney/Niekro a day off...

Red Sox!!  Mike Lowell will hit 2 doubles and Big Papi will go deep.  Wang will be gone by the 4th.

Burnett will soon go on the DL.  Replace him with a pitcher with good strikeout potential.  Bedard or Cabrera of Baltimore, Escobar of the Angels, Oliver Perez or Justin Verlander are some good ones.  Drop Padilla NOW.  A bad pitcher pitching in a bad pitching park will hurt you.  Wakefield could also be dropped if needed.  Your offense isn't bad.  Granderson of Detroit might be a good replacement for Casey.  He has the ability to steal 20 or more bases and hit 20 or more home runs.  And I would start Freel over Drew.

I would have to guess Walter Johnson, who is second all time in wins, with 417, and played in an 8 team American League his entire career.  Well before inter- league play, also.\n\nThe next most wins in the AL is Roger Clemens with 310 wins and after expansion, so I think Johnson is a safe bet.  Eddy Plank comes in third with 305, and since he was before expansion, so he has a better chance than Clemens, but I'm going with Johnson.

Would say Lidge, but he's already been axed temporarily. He's been demoted to a bullpen role while Wheeler and Qualls share the closer duty. Well, cross one off the list.\n\nWould also say Isringhausen, but he plays for the Cards, so a closer isnt as important to them. Also, Isringhausen is good when he needs to be, as in late september and the playoffs.\n\nWould say Street but Duscherer (who i think would be his replacement) is now on the 15 day DL. If i had to pick somebody,  it would be Chad Cordero. Earns quite a lot of money, yet isnt used. No point in keeping him.

I think they will move him into a starting role at the beginning of next season.  With his clearly dominant stuff the Sox are much better served letting him throw 200 + innings instead of 90.  However, he has been so valuable this year that he must stay there for now, and they really dont have much of a choice at this time.  I say work Hansen into the role or get somebody in the offseason.

Giants secondary and rush should cause problems for Gross-man.  A-train should have an easy time against a BAD Indy run D, but their pass D is better and Losman is just horrible.  Tough choice.  I'd go Giants in a toss-up.

Good Question:\n\nNL (starters):\nC: Johnny Estrada: 6HR, 45RBI, .315AVG\n1B: Pujols: no need for numbers\n2B: Chase Utley\nSS: Jose Reyes: tablesetter; he scares me.\n3B: D. Wright: his catch early season was sick...and he can hit.\nOF #1: Berkman\nOF#2: Beltran\nOF#3: Carlos Lee\nNL (2nd teamers)\nC: David Ross: 100 less AB's to McCann better numbers in everything except AVG.\n1B: Nomar\n2B: Dan Uggla\nSS: Freddy Sanchez\n3B: Miguel Cabrera: big numbers, small amount of protection in that lineup.\nOF#1: Andruw Jones\nOF#2: Soriano\nOF#3: Dunn: This is only because I really wanted to see him in the homerun derby. Holliday deserves it.\n\nSP: Brandon Webb\n\nAL starters: \n\nC: Mauer\n1B: Ortiz (Playing in NL park)\n2B: Least deserving all star postion on both leagues. I'll take Jose Lopez.\nSS: Tejada\n3B: A-Rod\nOF#1: Dye\nOF#2: Wells\nOF#3: Ramirez\n\nSP: Liriano: He has 1/2 the amount of starts as other pitcher and all of his numbers are top 10 or better. Plus if you're on the AL team and you have a shot at World Series Home field advantage do you really want Rogers 3.65+ ERA on the mound? Most of the NL has hit off of him several times. Liriano hasn't faced but a few of the NL hitters and most of them have seen him less than 5 times.\nAL Second stringers\nC: Ramon Hernandez: 15HR 61RBI--how many catchers have ever put up these numbers before all-star break?\n1B: Haffner or Thome? Gotta go Thome because of teams overall record.\n2B: Brian Roberts: if it was up to me Lopez would be my only true 2B.\nSS: Jeter: Glue that has held that team together after all of their injuries\n3B: Crede: I would take similiar RBI's and better defense compared to Glaus.\nOF#1: Crawford: I love extremely fast guys who hit for power and high average\nOF#2: Rios\nOF#3: Vlad: His defense puts him over Mags\n\n*****If the fans (including myself) continue to vote Paul laaaaaduca into the all-star game I say fans should wave their right to decide the starters. Secondly; one rep from each team should be abolished.

he had two bunt singles in their 8-7 win against the A's in the first spring training game today...oh yes...he will make a huge impact all the way to the world series...go cubbies!!!

It's a bit early to tell, but I would say:\n\nNL\nMVP -  Albert Pujols\nCy Young - Tom Glavine\nROY - Prince Fielder\nManager - Willie Randolph\n\nAL\nMVP - Jonathan Papelbon (Maybe they won't give it to a relief pitcher, so then I would say Jim Thome)\nCy Young - Jonathan Papelbon\nROY - Justin Verlander\nManager - Jim Leyland

Go with Brady.  The Giants have tons to play for, given all their off field troubles this week and theyre still in the thick of the NFC Playoff race.  They'll pull out all stops to try to get to Romo.  The Lions are just terrible, and Brady should have his way with them.  Good luck.

Wang should win about 18 games this year.  He's looked a lot better in his last couple of starts.  He's on a team that scores a lot of runs, so he should get great run support, and the Yanks will likely get hot down the stretch in August and September (as they will need to, to get ahead, and stay ahead of boston.)
