i was almost finished with my blue jays article when my browser crashed. i don't have the heart to write it again. it was crappy anyway. main points: lineup good (no dogs), rotation ok, bullpen bad. vernon wells is a motherfucker; halladay's a horse; scott service was a steal (off waivers from the diamondbacks). escobar's gonna work out, so is lopez (aquilino), once he gets his walks down.
that's about it. jp ricciardi is smart.
instead i'm gonna write about the fleecing of the twins. shannon stewart for bobby kielty! the twins never knew what they had with kielty. i'm psyched cause i've got him on my fantasy team. now he'll get full playing time.
stewart,shannon 303 .085 .901 .322 .290/.350/.445 5.93
kielty,bobby 238 .159 .765 .336 .257/.375/.425 5.78
jp sums it up: "We've got this guy for the next four years before he can become a free agent. This is basically getting Shannon Stewart from the start all over again.''
they're basically the same player, right now. but stewart is only good for one year, unless you wanna pay him $6.2 million again. and he's 29, past his peak. kielty is 26, so he's gonna get better. the jays will have him all the way through his prime, and then drop him when he gets expensive. it is good to be the king.
let's look at that lineup:
kielty,bobby 238 .159 .765 .336 .257/.375/.425 5.78
catalanotto,frank 349 .059 .877 .330 .289/.331/.464 5.84
wells,vernon 405 .063 .874 .357 .312/.355/.569 7.92
delgado,carlos 345 .165 .762 .391 .298/.414/.614 9.77
myers,greg 198 .132 .828 .348 .288/.382/.505 7.31
hinske,eric 219 .102 .753 .346 .260/.336/.452 5.55
johnson,reed 179 .082 .899 .324 .292/.350/.454 6.05
hudson,orlando 284 .084 .820 .317 .260/.322/.387 4.55
woodward,chris 265 .080 .808 .321 .259/.318/.395 4.58
damn!
oh yeah kielty fields better than stewart too.
