 Will the new look of the Giants be too ex-Padres heavy?
 Will the Yankees fall short for the sixth year in a row or will the team that "should have" finally do it?
 Will Roger Clemens pitch for a team this year?
 Did the Red Sox over pay for a pitcher from Japan who has never faced a MLB lineup?
 Is Padres' pitching 2007 the best in the NL West? The best in baseball?
Interested in your thoughts. |
1 - A better question is whether anyone outside of SF will care if he passes it. Barry will get a slap on the wrist and pay a fine of $25,000 after a lengthy appeal process.
2 - No. Randy won 17 games two years in a row with two of the best hitting teams in recent memory behind him. The light hitting D-backs will not help him if he lets up 4 runs in a game.
3 - The 24 men on the Giants plus Barry Bonds look like the team to beat in the NL West.
4 - The Yankees will win it all after another slow start that is turned around by picking up Clemens in May.
5 - See previous answer.
6 - They overpaid for most ANY pitcher that has already proved his worth. I think time will tell that this was a foolish move.
7 - I like the Red Sox staff as well as the Yankees staff - especially if Clemens ends up on either team (which he undoubtedly will). That said, Padres pitching will be greatly helped with the addition of Maddux as a player/unofficial pitching coach.
That was seven questions.
