| Message | Good work Tim, I like the article, think it is fair and objective. No I do not like it Hendrik because Tim likes my team. I think everyone should write an article some time in the season on something to do with ULB. It keeps it interesting. Manny(still don't like him) with four RBI's Go Shockers!  |

| Message | I basically picked Harold to win, and 2-7 was kind of interchangeable, Derksen I think will finish last though. |

| Message | -one $30 closer's arm falls off every year (benitez, dotel, gagne, ryan) -several closers will lose their jobs before the all-star break -power is incredibly tight -wins are unpredictable -runs are based on ULB and MLB team health and breakouts of MLB teammates and on top of all that, slim adds an extra element of unpredictability.. if i have a middle infielder go down, i'm screwed, but if i have an OF injury i'm fine.. if i have a starter go down in april it hurts more than in may.. so it depends where and when your injuries happen.. but the fighters still look to be up to their eyeballs in a slugfest for 7th place.. |

| Message | the fighters would have been last for sure if i did the writeup |

| Message | very impressive tim. but what fun is it to actually look as stats when making team analyses? that's like cheating. your projections are mildly retarded.. but not too bad. way too little respect for the pythons and way too much jizz sprayed over certain teams and players who deserve no love. otherwise a job well done. this has to be the most comprehensive write-up since dan's last championship. when was that, '85?  |

| Message | "Last years numbers are worthless it is all about what will happen in the future." gotcha.. so that's why you took pudge, uggla, jeter, manny, beltran, Matsui, randy, pedro, haren and rivera? i always was confused about the meaning of upside. ahhhh.. i'm just kidding. truth is i didn't even look at your team i just remembered that you had randy and pedro together. i do like your top starters a lot. haren in the NL will be awesome and i was really high on Felix myself. i also think your steals can compete.. way better than the running game i had last year.. Rollins totally wasted on my squad. |

| Message | Thanks Dan, I appreciate that, I would have to agree with you that I do lack speed but this is a direct result of not getting my guy at 2B. I wanted to make sure that I got the third closer in Manny Corpusso I saved money on a rediculous bidding war with the Punishers. I had Brian Roberts pencilled in all the way, but was not going to get into a bidding war and over pay for a sub par second baseman. As for Don, I don't take anything he says seriously, I think that he has fluked out on winning champuionships and his appraisal of all the teams is worthless. He should stick to his job of writing alter egos, he's better at that. You cannon look into a crystal ball and tell who is going to trade who, or more importantly who is going to get injured. Last years numbers are worthless it is all about what will happen in the future. I would not trade my team for his team, and I am not sure exactly what strategy he was using but if it was draft guys for way too much and then sell them to Pat for less money than he paid, then he should be Draft Day Guru for sure. Your a Clown Springer/Hendrik |

| Message | if felix arrives, noel's got very good pitching.. his batting just lacks speed, but he has the best power.. |

| Message | as for the rest of the teams.. no disrespect but i have a tough time seeing the slingers and shockers finishing in the upper half of the standings. just too many holes.. pythons/posse are also intriguing.. its a mixed bag of players i absolutely love mixed with those i hate. hamels/hill/mcgowan/billingsley are four guys i totally wanted and am very jealous.. mcgowan will be the steal of the draft.. hate half the bullpen but the biggest problem here is the infield. every single guy is a question mark and could implode. obvious philips is 5 tool awesome but all signs point to a decline of some degree.. and the rest could easily disapoint or explode but greatly uncertain. i see yet another 3-5 place finish here barring a Springer-esque bang for buck infield miracle.. woo, i like that term! .. actually speaking of springer-esque since i like the staff so much and since i was able to win last year despite so many holes and injuries pat could well pull this off. |
