if youre talking about speed on the pitches, i would say Brad Penny cuz he can throw mid 90s. but if youre talking about speed as a base runner i would say jae seo. Seo outran Chris Duffy to first base on his weak groundout.

We've been hearing for a few years now that the Dodgers have the best farm system in all of baseball. Now we know what they were talking about. If these guys had been ready last season, maybe it wouldn't have been so bad when Drew, Bradley, Izturis, and Gagne got hurt last year. The future looks bright!

I say jump on Jon Lester 1st & Jered Weaver 2nd.  I know Weaver has been sent down, but he'll be back into the Angels rotation soon enough.\n\nCouple Lester w/ that Boston offense, I think you have a potential winner there.  Just my opinion though.

I have been a Braves fan through the worst of years. Years when they really knew how to loose (I am talking about those years prior to '91 when the streak of division titles began). I have seen them come back from worse deficits with worse teams. I am not worried yet. If they are still this far behind in July/August, then I may worry. All you have to do is go to Turner Field and look at those banners and you can see a season where everyone swore they weren't going to win for one reason or another (They lost Wholers so who's going to close? They lost Glavin and Maddox, is their starting pitching going to crumble? Smoltz wants to go back to the starting rotation, who's going to close?). There's always something. But, at the end of the season, there's always a banner.

Wednesday, April 19th. The Los Angeles Dodgers were hosting the Chicago Cubs at Dodger Stadium. Rookie David Aardsma served up the go ahead runs in the bottom of the sixth of a tie game. He was replaced by Scott Eyre with two outs. With Rafael Furcal up at the plate he hit a bunt up the first base line to try and outrun it for a bunt single. The little man was trucking down the line and steam-rolled Derek Lee! Scott Eyre tried to get the ball and in the process injured his arm and knee! Both Eyre and Lee left the game. Derek Lee is out 6-8 weeks with a broken wrist. Eyre is day to day.

Apparently no one, they had one of the top three most disappointing off-seasons of any MLB team. I will be surprised to see them contend this year or, for that matter, see Clemens come back -- why should he? The team basically sat on their thumbs.

Stoneman is stoned.\n\nSeriously, THAT is their answer?  Man Ram better be coming, because they're giving that chump $50 million?!\n\nHe's been on WAIVERS half a dozen times.  \n\nAt least the Dodgers got a guy who is 29 and hits .300 for that kind of money.  Hell, Matthews is a decent fielder, but hitting .247, how does that help?\n\nI love the Halos, but what the hell is that?  I'd rather they bring up a rookie than some washed up reject from Texas.\n\nI'm with you.  I don't get it.

Geez... How many players are on the DL.  First off drop Garciaparra and Hermida. You have Pujols so what’s the use of Jacobs? Looks like you have some solid relievers and a few decent starters.  Keep KROD, Jennings, Seo, Verlander, Capuano, Sheets, Lidge, Sanchez.  Place Hendrickson as DL. Lowry is also still hurt.  I’m not familiar with “Balldelli…” You can try to use Wright, Johnson, Ortiz and anyone else I forgot as a potential trade.

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.

The Braves will win again.  They seem to pull off miracles with minor league players every year. Look at last year, how many players got called up from Richmond and finished out the season?

A healthy Gagne, another quality set-up man and for God's sake, quit with the interleague games!!!\n\nSeriously, it looks like Coletti has made another move to shore up the starting rotation, trading Jae Seo and Dioner Navarro to the Devil Rays for Mark Hendrickson and Toby Hall. Brett Tomko went on the 15 day DL as well, so I think Ned's dealing days aren't over yet...

I can understand some of your selections, but Sandy Koufax???\nHe was probably the most dominating pitcher since Walter Johnson.  Sports Illustrated just picked him on it's all-time team with Johnson, Christy Matthewson and Warren Spahn. He pitched four no hitters, including a perfect game, in four consectutive years. I don't think anyone had a higher strike out  average.\n\nHe was a first ballot HOFer with only 165 wins.\n\nYou should read up on him, and reconsider.

It is too late for this season.  They need to get rid of Prior and Wood and get some more young pitchers you don't get hurt.  They then need to quit going out and signing free agent who were good 5 years ago (Nevin, Burnitz, Womack, Mabry are all examples of this).  They also need a more consistent bullpen.  I sadly think our beloved Cubs are on their way back down after hitting a "peak" in 03-04.

A few reasons. 1). The five man rotation which cuts down a pitcher's starts to around 30-32 games a season. Up until the start of the 162 game era, pitchers could routinely pitch 38-40+ games a year. Cy Young started 906 games in his 20+ years as a pitcher. 2). To protect their multi-million $ investments, teams "baby" their pitchers so they rarely pitch on less than 3-4 days rest or throw in between starts. Which leads to 3). More time on the DL (and less starts) because they don't throw as much to build up arm strength and brings us to 4).The pitch count. You think Warren Spahn was ever pulled after throwing 110 pitches? Which gave birth to 5). The advent of the middle relief specialists. You can thank Tony LaRussa for bringing in a left handed reliever in the 7th to face one batter. Go 8 innings with the lead and you control your chance to win. Get pulled in the 6th or 7th and you leave it to a guy who couldn't cut it as a starter. A 20 game winner used to be the gold standard. Now it's 15. Who said today's players are much better than the players from the past?

They shouldn't be done spending. They still need a lot of pitching help. With Clemens and Pettitte filing for FA, they need to sign or trade for at least two above-average SP. And Lidge struggled last season, so I'm sure they're looking for a closer, (Gagne possibly) or via a trade. No team has they're opening roster set.

first off, it's RING, not KING...... and dude, what are you smokin' fool? wait 2years? u kidding? that's a stupid deal from the Padres's side....Liriano is a STARTING pitcher, keep that in mind...both Ring & Bell are RELIEVERS...relievers are JOURNEYMEN...they don't stay with teams for very long and don't have much value unless they're CLOSERS.  plus, Ring can't keep his weight off... Ben Johnson will be a star for years to come, the two jokers Padres got will be out of the organization in 2 years...JOURNEYMEN   -look it up
