Buy/Sell:

Ryan Howard wins NL MVP, drives in 45+ HRs, 120+ RBI, and hits .290.

...or just wins the MVP with really good numbers....

I disagree with the notion on Howard. Someone has to step in Utley's absence and I see Howard doing just that. I see him putting perhaps similar numbers from his MVP year.

Anyways, Buy on Johan pitching this year. I see him coming back in Late August- Early September.

Buy or Sell: Every team in the AL East will have a record of .500 or better.

[shifty_b]

Sell. Wieters will hit .280, but doesn't quite have the power for an .850 OPS. Maybe in a couple years. At the moment .800 to .815 seems safe to me.

Buy or Sell: Jose Bautista learns how to hit a changeup (he hit .116 against changeups last year I think) and surpasses 40 homers again.

Not sure he will hit thr change this year, but I see him getting 40.

B/S pujols hitting less than 35 HR thia year.

Sell, Pujols will be pitched around a lot, but he'll most like end up with 40 home runs again. At worst 38.

Buy or Sell: Chris Tillman .500 record or better, 160 IP this season.

Sell. But just because of the 500 record. not when they are in the AL East.
B/S: Teixiera continues his hot start and hits more than 45 HRS this year

This game is getting butchered. people are not directly answering the previous question but instead just answering random questions.

Sell: Even if Yankee stadium is a home run hitter's haven, Mark Teixeira has only cleared 40 home runs once in his career (2005). He has a good chance so far to hit 40. He has 39 in 2009, 33 in a downyear last season, but he seems to settle more in the 30's while mainly hitting in hitter's parks for most of the career.

@ rsox, I think it's fine if people want to answer random questions, just as long as they provide a Buy or Sell question afterwards.

B/S: Jaime Garcia sub-3.00 ERA, .500 record.

Re: Buy Or Sell? Thread

Sell, Think he'll get better than .500 record, higher than 3.00 era.

B/S: A player hitting more than 55+ hr this year

I'll sell. I know there are people who are on pace to hitting 100 home runs this year, but while every at bat actually is independent of one another, people's mindsets and approaches, as well as the way they're treated at the plate, really starts to normalize players.

Look at Chris Shelton in 2006: nine home runs in his first thirteen games. What happened? Maybe he started getting a big head and swung at anything in the strike zone, or maybe pitchers started pitching him backwards. Eventually he hit a slump, which means he started pressing, which really starts to haunt you. The players who can hit 55+ home runs don't let this kind of stuff affect them and they are able to play the game on a consistent basis without any hazards getting in the way. I don't believe there's a player in the MLB right now with such a trait.


Buy or Sell: The Indians, Pirates, or Orioles will maintain a .500+ record by the All Star break.

Buy, I think he'll have a down year for some reason.

Buy or Sell: Josh Johnson with a 2.5 ERA or lower again

[polelover44]

Re: Buy Or Sell? Thread

Sell. Johnson's an ace, but he's not quite THAT good.

Buy or Sell: Ted Lilly's ERA is below 3.5 in his first year in Dodger Stadium (his career mark is 4.19, it was 3.10 in '09 with the Cubbies, over the past three years it's 2.91 in Dodger Stadium)

Sell. He does not exactly have the league's best defense behind him.

Buy or sell Ryan Franklin out as Cardinals closer by may
