Monstrum said: Bostonblows said: Which leaderboard? Highest payroll in the game, one of the best farm systems in the game...so nah, I think you have to expect quite a bit out of them at this point. Well I'm not really a Dodgers fan. But I respect Kershaw. He's ridiculous, definitely the best pitcher in the MLB right now. |
TheRealNico said: Monstrum said: Dodgers dominating the leaderboard, isn't it unexpected? What leaderboard do you mean? lol Kershaw might be the best pitcher in the game, but Corey Kluber is the most underrated pitcher in the game for sure who deserves a possibility of being the best. Alex, the Dodgers don't fuck up, the Cardinals always eat their dreams alive. Pretty sure all of my relatives who are Dodgers fans know this. Kluber had a great year, i'd probably give "most underrated" to Doug Fister though. If you think there's any conversation to the best pitcher in the game debate, please go look at the last 4 years or so Kershaw has had, it's a historic performance at this point. |
| I'll be rooting for Toronto Blue Jays like always... Just to see them do really well at the start of the season and then to fall off near the mid Season. |

Where did Hector Olivera go in your draft? |
| Keep an eye out for when he gets picked up IRL, I have a gut feeling he's going to perform very well. |

| Jung ho kang will be interesting to follow He was hitting around .356 with 40 bombs in Korean league. Wonder what that will translate to in the MLB. He did hit a homer in his debut. Always fun to watch overseas Asian players come and play |

Always fun to watch overseas Asian players come and play Pitching over there is really not very good, I remember reading an article somewhere that 38 year old CJ Nitkowski was a playoff teams ace, people say that the level of competition is lower than triple A. That said, if he sticks at SS and produces .260/20/80 he'd be one of the better SS's in the NL. |
| Successfully bandwagoned, and enjoyed, the NFL last season. Time to give this a go. Might as well pick the Oakland A's to go with my yellow and green colour scheme. |

| damn that sucks for Darvish i thought he just tweaked his triceps. I'm scared for Tanaka too lol |
TheRealNico said: Ouch, Yu Darvish may get Tommy John surgery... :( As a Texas fan last year watching him pitch was like the only fun part about the season. His ridiculous array of swooping breaking balls is a lot more entertaining than your typical pitcher. Crap, I was ready for baseball season to finally come around too! |
| Been a Braves fan since I was a kid. Unfortunately, I'm expecting a worse year than the last and can't see us breaking .500 I can accept rebuilding though, especially after last year. I still have trouble believing that a good team in 2013, brought back majority of it's players and somehow ended up as one of the worst offensive teams in 2014. |

Well at least you'll get Joey Gallo to look forward to. I wouldn't be too worried, the success rate of TJ surgery of late has been through the roof. Matt Harvey was hitting 99 in his first Spring game coming off surgery. Edit: And speaking of prospects with crazy raw power, i'm glad to see Aaron Judge getting a lot of love, he's a good dude and I hope the Giancarlo comparisons go further than just his size.. |
BTAG said: I'm excited to watch my Mets this year. They could possibly contend for a playoff appearance with the incredible rotation they have. I was hoping that they would make a little bit more noise in free agency though, in regards to a big bat. I don't think Michael Cuddyer is the answer. The future looks pretty bright for them, they had a whopping 7 prospects on the BA top 100 list, good for 2nd place behind Boston's 8 prospects. I don't really understand the Cuddyer signing. He'll be 36 years old before this season starts, and IMO signing him to a big $ deal and forfeiting the 15th overall pick in the draft should be part of a "win now" strategy, which was certainly possible when they went in on him..but then they did nothing..and that offense was definitely more than 1 bat away from being good. Not to mention, the Nationals and Marlins are looking pretty good. |
| Opening Day just a little over a week away!!! And YES, I'm ready to shock the world.....the FISH will make the playoffs as a wild card seed. Furthermore, I think Fernandez wins 16+ and Stanton gets 40+ HRS. This is happening folks, the FISH are finally back! |
| I'm rooting for the fish this season, just like last season. and also my idol Ichiro is there, and many new C: |
| It's almost "KLUBERIN' TIME"!! |
 |
| Chicago is buzzin right now for the Cubs vs Cardinals! Btw your standings for the White Sox and Cubs seem a little low :) |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Yay new season :-) Gonna root for the Cubbies tonight. If they win they probably have a winning record the first time since 1432 or so I´m excited about my Nats this year! We should be able to make a deep run this time :-) |

| Happy Opening Day everyone! |
Shitposta said: Sonny Gray 2 innings away from an Opening Day no-no. Edit: 7 hitless innings after a leadoff single to start the 8th. Hell yeah! Nobody's no hitting us today! ...small victories? |
| "2015 MLB Season!!! (Felix was fucking robbed off the 2014 Cy, Kluber Who?)" Fuck that title. I've just realized that Shitposta/Nico started this thread. We're going to be in for a loooooooooooong season... |

I'm sorry but I GOTTA Chime in on this... ^The KC Royals got their rings yesterday.....their AMERICAN LEAGUE Championship rings.... Yes, I know this isn't anything new, that AL and NL teams do this but.....WHY?!?! You FUCKING LOST THE WORLD SERIES! YOU LOST!!!!! I'm sorry but this is like fucking little league mentality where everyone gets a fucking trophy. There should only be ONE team getting a ring!! The Miami Heat did NOT get a ring for winning the 2014 Eastern Conference....because who the fuck wants a ring for that?!?! And that is a DAMN NICE RING! But you shouldn't be rewarded for LOSING the Championship! |
