Rec'n not.
It’s not quite as grand in scope but I always think It’s really cool when the Indy 500 runs the day before Memorial Day.

I have it on good authority that Jesus didn't actually rise up from the dead
When Mary Magdalan (is that how you spell her last name?) returned to the borrowed tomb, she returned to the scene of a grave robbery, with a bloody shroud left behind.

I'm a severe doubter as well,
but shit man, leave the brother alone on this one.
A Pete Rose by any other name would still smell of cheap hookers and pinetar.

I don't see it
108 RBI, .313 AVG, .936 OPS does not equal an MVP for a team with 83 wins, unless every other player is on the DL and he has to play 3 positions at once.

I was right about Miguel Cairo for infield utility!
holy cow
Everyone’s picking Austin Jackson.
He was IL Rookie of the Year last year.
I am really bummed that the Yankees traded him.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I mostly picked him because he's a Tiger now.
And I have him on my fantasy team.
IAN! I'm on traain!
Granderson's a good player and seems to be a fine human being
He’s made a much better first impression than, say, Randy Johnson.
But a lot of us were following Jackson through the minors for years, looking forward to the day when he would be patrolling center field in Yankee Stadium.

Predictions
Reds win 83 games (unless injuries rack the pitching staff then they’ll win 72)
jch will, once again for the 3rd year in a row, recommend trading Bronson Arroyo “right effin now”
Adam Rosales will hit .250+ for the A’s (yes he made the opening day roster)
Mike Leake will win less than 100 games in his MLB career
"then skip it"....
That list prediction isn't that bold
only 10% of pitchers all time have recorded 100 or more wins.
Red Reporter or follow on Twitter: @redreporter
Adam Rosales, the newest All-Star
I think the last time I checked, everyone who was asked said their own team would win between 86-90 this year in the NLC, except St. Lousy, which is deciding if it wants to win 100 or 101. Pirates fans are a bit more cautious.
Reds have a lot of OK players but we’ll be hard-pressed to get a starter at the ASG.
(This does not change the fact that yes, ’tHan is insane.) -- FVA
What would you guess is the percentage for pitchers who were first round picks?
My guess is that it’s even less than 10%.

by Fat Vegas Alan on Apr 4, 2010 1:34 PM EDT up reply actions
the odds?
Odds against winning 20 anymore are almost zero, so you would need to be in the league at least 6 years to get to 100 wins.
(This does not change the fact that yes, ’tHan is insane.) -- FVA
i should say odds against it are about 100 percent
(This does not change the fact that yes, ’tHan is insane.) -- FVA
Comps
let’s compare apples to apples.
Leake won a spot in the rotation without ever playing in the minors. Comparing him to Keefe Cato, Justin Lehr, Danny Serafina and every other pitcher who started a mlb game is pointless. Of course less than 10% of mlb pitchers win 100 games.
Considerably less than 10 percent of pitchers are selected in the first round. And considerably less than 10 percent of pitchers selected in the first round make their professional debuts on a MLB mound.
Aroldis Chapman will win more than one hundred games.

Chris Dickerson has five hits in 10 ABs against Cardinals starter Chris Carpenter.
Drew Stubbs has one hit in three ABs vs. Carpenter.

Brian B's predictions (tagged for later searching)
I have the luxury of making these picks after seeing the opening day lineup, meaning that it’s more likely Arroyo and Harang will be salary-dumped by the trade deadline. Thanks for the memories, Dusty. Don’t forget to burn out our young pitchers on your way out.

Brewers in the playoffs?
Sports Illustrated had them finishing in 4th… meaning it’s a good bet that they could win it all. Good call.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
I've found that pulling picks out of my ass is just as effective as actually thinking about it
I have no idea who is going to win it, but I didn’t feel like picking the Cardinals.

I so badly wanted to pick the Rangers to win the West,
but couldn’t make myself do it.
