Plax 4 Prez

The best part was Culpepper passed the physical and he was born and raised in Volusia County where I've lived for 20 of my 23 years! UCF and Deland where is homes.... Deltona is 5 miles away

I bet you we sign him on a 2 - 3 year contract in the middle of the season or in training camp...just like we did with Osi...we have the money to keep him thanx to the new CBA

hahahahahahh

lol, Nutty just got served..

New York Mets: On paper, this team has improved a great deal, mainly at closer and cleanup/first base. Mets fans still have nightmares from what Braden Looper and Doug Mientkiewicz did. Billy Wagner and Carlos Delgado should be a lot better, and safer. Sometimes that's all the difference. If you ask me who the best team in the division is, I'd have to say it's the Mets. Pedro Martinez might be the first NL pitcher to be drafted. David Wright is a popular late first-round pick. Carlos Beltran probably has another 30-30 season in him and should be somewhere in between his last two seasons, making him a second-round pick as well, the third Met who belongs there. If Jose Reyes ever took walks, he might be the next Vince Coleman. And Bret Boone.… ah, don't ask. Fantasy questions: -What is David Wright's ceiling? Really, fantasy leaguers can't go wrong taking this fella in the top 15 of a draft. Consider he went 27-102-17 in his first full season, at age 22, and everyone agrees he can be more consistent and keep improving. Scott Rolen was doing this in his best seasons until putting it all together in 2004, at age 29. Wright is already there. The Mets should hit him third and let him go 35-120 -- which, considering where he hit in the lineup last year, wouldn't be a stretch. To sum up, the ceiling is high, and Wright is a fantastic keeper. -Should we worry about Pedro's health? Martinez made 31 starts last season and won 15 of them, which is about all we can ask for on both fronts. But consider that no starting pitcher in the majors made more of an impact for WHIP -- not even Johan Santana -- and Pedro added 208 strikeouts. I'd bet against a 20-win season, no matter the run support, because he'd have to be fortunate to win two of every three starts. And it's unlikely he'll match his innings-per-start rate this season with an improved bullpen. Between the injured toe and his participation in the World Baseball Classic, set the over-under in season starts at 30, but that's a very good 30. -Does anyone emerge in right field or second base? It's possible Bret Boone could help the Mets and hit a few home runs, but based on how bad he was last season, you can't count on him as anything but a late, late selection. Kazuo Matsui actually would be safer for fantasy. At least he doesn't hurt the team. In right field, Xavier Nady has proven he can hit lefties, but nobody else. Why not let Victor Diaz get 500 at-bats in right field? He seems streaky, sure, and has worse plate discipline than Jeff Francoeur, but he's still only 24. With proper playing time, he'd hit 20-25 home runs.

What I want to know is why did we not see more of Eric Moore??

thx, bro...very informative :worshippy:

When do you think we'll utilize Eric Moore, more frequently....he's a great player that barely got any play time last year

thanks storm...you don't happen to have the link do you?

um...who is he?

6 - 1...ouch!!!

hahahaha

Most Yankee fans are douche bags that don't even deserve to comment to us, fucken bandwagon ass mother fuckers...

lol....I defiantely agree

I say no, just because there are so many good defense of players in the draft this year, that I want EA to utilize all the picks we can get....

he does like the Giants from the article I read before we played them, but he's an over priced, loud mouth cry baby....I would take Toomer over him anyday...he won't want to be the 3rd option...god forbid he was ever wide open and Eli didn't see it....he would flip out... he's a cancer that can make or break a team in the locker room and on the field

and when I went we lost 8-2... the 2 was scored on a home run by Robin Ventura with 3 balls, 2 strikes, 2 outs in the 8th... God I miss Ventura

I still hate the WBC

cool... I hope you get good seats, and more than anything I hope they win for you!

Awesome.... Do you already have the tickets?

Out of our first 15 games, 12 are at home..... If we start strong the sky is the limit

that's a pretty strong guarentee, Mr. Namath
