Ok lets hear some analysis-

Jose Reyes- I thought he should of had more OBP vs RHP.

Pitching seems VERY scarce this year, there should be plenty of 1000 run teams.

Jeter has an incredible card, especially in a pitcher's park.

Vizquel has the best defensive SS card I have ever seen, 1e4.

Need a DH vs. LH's?

Dave Ross

or

Bill Hall

Both are SICK vs. LH's.

How about a DH vs. RHP? I was curious about D. Ward, C. Duncan, and L. Scott. And how does Howard look?

vs. RH's

Ward- 29.4 hit chances, 42.4 OB chances and 57.8 TB chances w/ 5.8 HR chances

Duncan- 29.3 hit chances, 43.3 OB chances, 63.3 TB chances w/ 9.6 HR chances

Scott- (This card will be insane...) 36.3 hit chances, 48.3 OB chances, 72.5 TB chances w/ 4.2 HR chances. Vs. LH's the hit, TB and HR chances really drop BUT he still has 52 OB chances...

Not alot of really good * SP's...We could see alot of 5 man rotations.

Yeah those 3 would be pretty good agaianst RHP:

Scott 48.3 pts of OBP 72.5 TB 4.2 HR 5 BPHR loses 11 in the clutch only 4 dp

Ward 42.4 pts of OBP 57.8 TB 5.8 HR 8 BPHR gains 6 in the clutch 20 DP

Duncan 43.3 points of OBP 63.3 TB 9.6 HR 8 BPHR -11 in the clutch 13 DP

Howard is more balanced than he was last year but will still be a 4R 10 pouitns higher of OBP 20 points higher TB's loses 12/9 in the clutch low DPs though at 5/4 (LH/RH)

how bad are mauer's dp's?

what about McCann, good card?

Mauer's DP 28/30 also w vs LHP defensivly 2e2 -2 t5 pb1

McCann 42.6/40 opb 46.1/59.6 TB def 2e6 0 t7

I am betting Scott's card will be excluded from SOMO. Lot of ABs but it's a card that could really skew results like batting title, which is one of the criteria for exclusion.

So, who would you guys say are the top SPs (regardless of *)? I realize some are just obvious, but who will be the surprises? I took Santana in a pre-card draft, is he far and away the best?

Qk, I know you were big on Harden. How does he look?
