Announcement

No more starting pitcher team feature.
Why not?
1. It's too late. For me to do a complete review on all of the NL pitching staffs, it would have been prudent to start in January or earlier. Plus spring training has already begun, making it hard to do research and keep up on daily events at the same time.
2. I'd rather focus on players that you want to know about, instead of generally speaking on a lot of players, some of which I could care less about because there's no way in hell I would draft them.
So bargain players will be the subject of my next column.
As for the Mets, I think they will not win the NL East this year because there are too many ifs in their rotation. Glavine is getting old, Pedro will be out half the season and maybe more, Pelfrey is too raw, Maine gives up a lot of homers, El Duque is unpredictable, and Oliver Perez might have a nice comeback, or he might not.
The Mets do however have a very good bullpen, anchored by Billy Wagner, the NL's best closer (with the possible exception of Trevor Hoffman).

Hey Ben...I am disspointed you arent going to analyze the pitching, but I understand that it will take forever to do and we are already approaching the season. That kind of work would be something to do for the final project.

Im really into your blog though, probably because baseball is my favorite sport ever, and fantasy baseball is amazing. If you are running any leagues that have empty seats, Id love to join. I dont know if you like to put money on the leagues, but my buddy is having a 20 dollar head to head league, and we are trying to have 16 managers...if you are interested, let me know and I can send you an invite.

I could leave you some links, but I dont think it would be very useful to you since I can see that you already have many of the links on your blog.
