would you give 4 firsts, and the lowest of the top 10 prospects sits what, around 35th in ashes article? so Juan Pierre and 4 firsts for Johan by ashes article, i thought top 10 overall I went off ashes value article, top 10 prospects in that puts Juan Pierre there

My rotation was wrong I had 1. Wood 2. Wilaon 3. Johan 4. Stephenson. I didnt want santana as #1 he sucked against houston all year. Whatever ill be back next season snb you will never win over 100 games. Good series chris, well deserved see you next season. If there is one thing I have learned from watching the real life Mets' failed bid to win the 2006 World Series, it's that winning 100 games or 90 games really doesn't matter in the end if the postseason ends up being a failure. The Mets won 97 games in 2006 and were clearly the World Series favorite, but the Cardinals, despite winning just 83 games were able to beat the Mets in 7 games in the NLCS and eventually win the World Series that year. With that being said, winning 100 games is nice, but really doesn't mean shit if the postseason that year is a failure.

I'm a stat junkie and it's a shame a lot of you overlook individual accomplishments so much. stats are great, but if the guy never gets a chance to win who cares, you havent been close to winning a world series, Larry deserves that opportunity, and holding onto him ruins that

To be honest, the only reason McGwire will soon get to 500 career homers is because I have him... I can't disagree with what you are saying though. And McGwire fucking sucks Look what I'm saying is, if you don't change your approach you're going to be a mediocre team for, well, forever. If you really just enjoy seeing stats over winning then more power to you. To excel on both ends would be best, but like I've said, if the wins aren't there, I will have nice stats to fall back on and keep this game itself fun for me.

If he were smart, he'd trade Walker this offseason for a REASONABLE offer and actually have a shot for tanking for his favorite player.

You also have to plan for the expansion teams taking two spots and hurting your chances, like they did to me this season.
