GUESS WHO?
Pitcher X IN HT ER SO BB HR
Player A 17 33 19 12 05 02
Player B 22 27 14 22 07 03
Guess who? Both lines combine spring and regular season 2004 stats.
Player B is Pedro and Player A is Mike Mussina. If RSN and the baseball world are concerned about Petey, then shouldn’t the MFY be worried about Mussina?
Speaking of the MFY, it was great watching them get kicked around again by the Devil Rays. I was living it up yesterday with the Sox on in the afternoon (I ducked out of work early), a quick meal, and then flipping between the MFY, Johan Santana on the mound, Barry Bonds at the plate and other games (PIP makes it twice as good). MLB Extra Innings would completely screw up my life. I would likely sit around all day and night watching ball games (probably half naked and un-showered) ordering delivery fast foods becoming fat, unemployed, and even more undesirable to the opposite sex than is the case right now. If I were to loose my hair, I would almost be the Vermont George Costanza without as interesting friends. I must not shell out the $149 for MLB Extra Innings.
FANTASY WEDNESDAY?
I am off to Baltimore today for a Sox game and tomfoolery in the mid-Atlantic so Wednesday is Friday for EGG.
Since not many games have been played, it is not worth me discussing player performance as a means to forecasting their fantasy production for the upcoming week. I’ll just throw out a couple of general tips:
• Park – know the extreme pitcher and hitters parks and plan your rosters accordingly. Coors isn’t just the only hitters park.
• Splits – know if your southpaw hitter can’t hit lefties and make the appropriate change. Even if you don’t have a replacement, it is sometimes better not to play a guy with a very poor split.
• Barry Bonds – the guy is going to hit a ton of bombs but depending on the number of games he plays his RBI and Run numbers may not be impressive. He will hit for a high average although it might not mean as much because Bonds could only get 300 at-bats (he could walk 200 times). If Bonds is on your club and you have enough home run hitters, I would put him on the trading block ASAP.
