Can't believe you have Mike Scott in the bottom 5 starters.  I think he is in the Top 5.  He has incredible drop on his slow balls and has a fastball can reach 100 mph.  Sometimes I think he may be better than Ryan.

i can't believe daly and king were the guys i picked on my fantasy team last year.  they provided many a nail-bighter (read: pillowbighter), as they gave leads and wins to opposing teams.

again, i believe this debate will come down to style of play:  curve, slurve, straight or ATG.

I can't think of any style of play where Scott doesn't make the top 5.

While Scott may be border line for my top 5, he's certainly not in my bottom 5.

wasnt he let go by a fantasy owner in the fantasy RBI league?

I think ShitPaw move him to SP #2, though he was the second pitcher drafted, I believe.

I just think that against a skilled player who can hold off of the drop pitch, he loses a lot of his effectiveness. I'm also going by my RBI Pitcher Efffectiveness Rating Index (RPERI) numbers that I've developed in conjunction with Stats, Inc.

there are also folks complaining about the lack of Bobby Grich, Dwight Evans, and Willie Randolph.

according to my rankings for the draft last year i had scott ranked number three (3) that would be for anything goes.  by the way, according to unkown factor #2, the highest ranked pitchers are gooden, key, and alxndr, the best pitchers in the fantasy league (watch game mode).  i may have given away my secret to the draft, but perhaps that will shed light on what the unkown ratings do.

Good catch Teddy, anyone have a theory yet?

83-91 mph, before he runs out of stamina. ;)

Bottom Five relief pitchers:

1. Donnie Moore: The absolute worst pitcher in the game. A shotgun blast waiting to happen.
2. Dave Smith: Need someone to groove a fastball down the center of the plate? Here's your man.
3. Calvin Schiraldi: Very Dave Smithesque in his lack of talent, except he has a marginally better curve.
4. Ken Dayley: Can be OK if facing a lefty, otherwise he's useless.
5. Eric King: The reverse of Dayley - OK against righties, shit against lefties.

Have you ever played with Franco (NA)? Just play a game with National against a human player and be up by like 3 and put him in. He will give up homer after homer.
Fernando Valenzuela can play every position, including the umpire, and does every night of the week, and nothing can stop him.

I can't believe some people list Barrett and not Owen.  Before I discovered the wonders of subbing guys out their first time through the lineup, I thought Barrett was almost approaching mediocrity, whereas Owen was unredeemably bad.

When using Boston, Strassy always subs for Barret and Buckner, leaving Owen in.  This rarely leads to success, but every few years Owen gets a base hit, and he elatedly proclaims that keeping him in the lineup had been worthwhile.  He also claims to have two career homers with Spike.

Gantry

Even in straight pitch and no slowballs with 2 strikes, Calvin Schiraldi is one of the 3 worst players in the game.  His fuckups around the dee-nee house are legendary...

What the hell is this Franco bashing about?  I'm going to say it--he's a quality RP (anything goes).  He can be lights out for an inning and very easily can handle 2 innings.

Spike Owen is a clubhouse leader and a general on the field, leading the Red Sox into battle with courage and diligence.  You all would benefit from giving him a chance.

Agreed, Franco is the man.  He's a perfect compliment to the slow shta that Nanod brings.  Pure pusss and finesse followed up b wiskcedheat ad nasty movement...and a dnasty stacehe.

If allow Owen to remain in the game, that means you're leaving either Timmy B, Hendu, or Tony Tits & Ass on the bench.  Justify this!

TempoGL

leave henderson on the bench...then when the time comes and you need a clutch PH, you put him in.  leaving one of them on the bench is vital, because no matter what anyone else says, Marc Sullivan is the worst player in this game by far.

You do realize that a close late-game situation in which Hendu is still on the bench would have instead been a comfortable lead if you had put him in immediately instead of saving him for later, right?
