As much as I love my Dodgers... 4th is pretty generous considering their quiet offseason.

Quote:

Overall, Defense, Pitching, Batting Dodgers--4th, 4th, 2nd, 10th

2nd in pitching? The bullpen is good, and some of the young arms have potential, but they definitely do not have one of the elite starting rotations in baseball (let alone a bona fide ace). Defense I agree with... batting sounds about right.

Whatever though. Bring on the NL West in Franchise!

So?

I don't agree with the Red Sox offense being rated higher than the Phillies offense.

The Red Sox certainly have better pitching...and slightly better defense...but I think the Phillies definitely have the better lineup.

Also, the Giants' pitching is better than 13th. It should probably be top 5 or 6.

They kept talking about our power hitters being Chipper, Glaus and Heyward...What about McCann?

McCann is a stud...no two ways about it. And he is a power threat.

But outside of Chipper, he's really all they have. And like I said, Jones is a virtual lock to miss 20+ games. If Glaus was on the Mets, I wouldn't count on him until I saw him do it during the regular season. And if he was on the Mets, he'd probably be hurt already.

That means you really only have two bona-fide power guys. Not saying they are not good...maybe Glaus works out well and Heyward is the real deal...but that's asking a lot.

Giants Pitching staff is better than 13, but that is cool. Their Bull Pen soild and Cain and Timmy are pretty powerful 1-2 punch. The rest is pretty fair.

OK the Dodgers are second in pitching? Hey Kolbe did you have something to do about that?

If the Jays are 15th WITHOUT halladay but 16th(last year) WITH him?


Last time I checked, Halladay was main reason Jays won so much games. If it wasn't for him, they'd lose 8-10 more games.

Though this does mean playing franchise mode as the Jays will be fun because they're this good without any real star player, imagine what one off season could do for them
