LorfTVP Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Weakest Links An interesting piece by John Donovan in which he chronicles every single teams weakest link. In terms of overall team strength, there are a few monsters in the AL but really nobody that strong in the NL. In fact, the NL West may be the strongest division based solely on its pitching. So if there are any baseball arguments about team vs. team you can use this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Giant Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I don't really agree with him on the Rangers, he says the outfield is our weak link. LF - Wilkerson / Catalanotto CF - Lofton / Marlon Byrd RF - Cruz I agree that alot depends on Cruz developing this year, but even if he fails we could theoretically place Catalanotto or maybe even Jason Botts there. lthough it is interesting that there's a weak link article that doesn't mention our rotation.

Not Jose Cruz JR. Who did you guys pickup in the postseason for your starting roster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Giant Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 who is Cruz? Not Jose Cruz JR. Who did you guys pickup in the postseason for your starting roster? No, Nelson Cruz, got him in the Carlos Lee trade. Supposed to be a future 5 tool player and has been tearing it up in the winter leagues, but he struggled last year. Just Brandon McCarthy from the White Sox, he'll be the 3rd slot, then Robinson Tejada (minor leaguer who saw alot of time last year) and an assortment of guys for the last spot. Most likely Koronka to start out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LorfTVP Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 he's wrong about our 3b. that guy can rake Wow, he has stepped it up the last couple of years but that's also in a number of different stops. What power he has won't be strong enough to defeat Petco, he's no Ryan Howard. But you can't deny that Sledge and Giles aren't power threats and that a little bit of power can really help your team.

Herc Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 i dont disagree about those two guys. last time they broke the bank to get a big time power hitter it was for giles brother and all it cost them was oliver perez and jason bay for 25 less hr's per year, so they never go after them anymore i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
