Thanks alot man. I honestly dont think Ill be able to take off Monday, Ive been slacking all week. The important thing for me is not to cram, but to just take it in stride.

I have a good feeling about game 2, I dont think DeSalvo will be good, probably 4ER, but I think the team can bring the hot hitting from game 1 into game 2. *I hope*

Originally posted by jerZ07002 Andy phillips looks like he really wants the first base job. Big hit after big hit with runners in scoring position since he's come back.

To address this, I would rather have a team bred player, and if he can do .280 with 20HRs and around .300 OBP, he would have served his purpose.

i agree with you, i think i said something about that last night....but the .300 OBP is a little low. That number should be nearer to .360. Honestly, anywhere from 60-80 RBI with 20 HR +/- 5 would be great. All he really needs to do is be marginally successful. Nothing more.

I was being modest with the #'s. I wanted to say .340, but I thought I might be pushing it.

Yea, marginally successful, well said. He would be the perfect 8/9 hole hitter.

Edit: The one thing I hate, is Giambi in the 5 spot. Ugh, .250, with 30HRs... just ugly. Yes, I really dislike Giambi.

I just did alittle looking, and next year is a FA bonanza of pitching, alot of very good relief pitching.

One name that stands out among the crowd is Carl Crawford. TB is in a catch 22 situation with him. If they attempt to resign him, it will probably rip them a new asshole, and they wont be able to resign any of their young stars.

FA pitchers after next year:

SPs
Jake Peavy
Brad Penny
Ben Sheets
John Smoltz
Derek Lowe
John Lackey
Jon Garland
Oliver Perez
C.C. Sabathia
Johan Santana

RPs
Matt Wise
Rafael Soriano
Brandon Lyon
Dennys Reyes
Guillermo Mota
Joe Beimel

Thats the year when they should pool money, get rid of contracts, and make some moves.

Tampa has club options on Crawford for 2009 and 2010

Yea, but isnt it up to Crawford to stay?

Also, by keeping him whats gonna happen is Upton, Young, Crawford, Kazmir, Harris are gonna be FA's all at once. Its gonna turn into the firesale of the Marlins of 2003-2004. The club doesnt make enough to keep them all.

So if I were Cashman and George, Id be taking Carl and his agent out to dinner every night that hes in NY.
