      - Because our best pitchers were at Rome, where they had an ERA of about 0.4 for the playoffs. - David Dec 2, 07:45 10

        I like Newcomb and Anderson, Maitan, but they are all at least 2 years away. - groiny Dec 2, 08:10 1
        
        Allard was the best high school pitcher in last year's draft by a fairly decent amount, but he hurt his back about two months before the draft. - David Dec 2, 08:30
  - Dansby! But I'm guessing he's off the table. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 2, 07:34 2

  - yeah, I don't really need any of that shit, just point me where there are people to kill -- nm - groiny Dec 2, 07:30 1
