Baseball is here.

I just wanted to say this. The Tampa Bay rays might have one of the best rotations in the history of baseball. I cannot believe how sick every single starter they have is. Potential Ace starting every day. James Shields, David Price, Jeremey Hellickson, Matt Moore...

 

[Doobius1]

Lets go Blue Jays!!!!

 

[MixedMelodyMindBender]

It almost rivals the giants rotation Lincecum, Cain, Zito starters with Wilson, Lopez, Affeldt as relief leading the way. Many teams with great pitchers in the MLB but not that great of a rotation. I don't know how many teams out there that are really hanging on by one ace only. Mets are a perfect example with Santana. That guy needs support to get a solid rotation going. Everything on him to lead the way. Detroit another with Verlander as an ace and maybe possibly Benoit, but I would'nt hold my breathe.

You got the right idea tho. Look for the teams that have a solid rotation thru and thru. Not just a over paid ace I greatly agree that Tampa's pitching will be a huge force to recon this season!!!

Dodgers will win the MLB this year hahahahahaha

Actually the real winner was Frank Mccourt 2.1 billions for the Dodgers???

But GO DODGERS and I wish the Magic Johnson can fix the team!!

Hellickson just shut out the Yankees. I'm a yankee fan btw, and I don't like our chances against the rays this year.

Thanks for a memorable opening weekend Boston.
We scored 27 runs.

phillies got the best rotation period

phillies got the best rotation period

Well, it's debatable. Their offense on the other hand....

 

[MixedMelodyMindBender]

I think the top two rotations in the MLB are between Tampa Bay and Philly. On the other hand I think Philly has a better overall offense compared to Tampa Bay. For sure these two teams are gonna be a reckoning this season.
With that,

Go Red Sox

 

[kizphilly]

are offens is ok it aint great espically with ryan howard out we normally count on him for atleast 100 rbi a year with him hurt ppl are gonna have to step up

 

[MixedMelodyMindBender]

Ya its a bummer that both howard and utley are on the dl but utley has knee issues, howards is a achilles issue which makes me think he will be back before utley and be healthy.

Besides, the phillies are loaded with stars. Let's not forget the legend Jim Thome. Jimmy Rollins is a high numbers super star. Polanco is another star. For sure, phili has PLENTY of Fire Power!

I still think they are only team that can mirror the P pitching rotation is Tampa. Halladay, Hamels, Blanton, Lee....And even Papelbon(relief)What more could a fan ask for from a starting rotation? Thats a f'in dream team in baseball!!

 

[kizphilly]

yeah we got alot good players i dont like that dream team talk u seen what happend to the eagles lol.we def got players that can get on base we just need somebody wit power

 

[420 couple]

Go Blue Jays!!!!! They rock.

 

[MixedMelodyMindBender]

yeah we got alot good players i dont like that dream team talk u seen what happend to the eagles lol.we def got players that can get on base we just need somebody wit power

It's true tho I mean look at the $$$ they paid for a dream team and imo they got one. I personally like the phillies odd's this year. But then again, sometime when u get to many superstars on one team its all ego and no play Which I hope don't happen for philly fans Plus I am dying to see paplebon get a ring out of boston. I think that was a very bad move on bostons part and it would give karma justice to see paplebon have a place in that !

 

[hornedfrog2000]

Their offense is going to be putrid.

 

[MixedMelodyMindBender]

Putrid? Are u sure your talking about the 2011 NL East Champions? I dont see them going from that to not making the playoff's....now BOSTON....yes I can see them having a Putrid season

 

[Amaximus]

Although I'm not a fan of them, Don't forget the Angels. They have a great bunch of starters and offense to boot.

Weaver, Haren, Wilson, Santana.

San Fran has a beautiful starting rotation but with that offense who really cares? It's going to be hard for any of them to win 15 games IMO.

 

[MixedMelodyMindBender]

Yeah San Fran idk man....tons of names in the bullpen but I dont see anything else. Really I think the giants are one of those teams with just to many superstar names and not enough grinding players. What talent they do have is in the bullpen for sure.

Angeles are a team to reckon IMO this year. I would not be a bit surprised to see them deep into the playoffs. I know for sure that the dodgers will not be anywhere in the chase come playoff time Which is oddly funny cause magic johnson thinks they are worth a billion or two muahahahaha

 

[Amaximus]

Almost forgot about the Rangers! I still think there ballpark is a nightmare for any starter but as far as the road goes they've got a nice one!
Lewis, Holland, Darvish, Harrison & Feliz.

Feliz is coming out of the bullpen so who knows if he'll be an efficient starter or not. And Darvish is promising but unproven IMO.

It's an interesting rotation though.

I don't even want to talk about the Mets starters.
