If Pedro didnt make so much, Im not positive he does, but its pedro so i didnt bother looking, I might consider him. Has some K upside.

Great idea! You'd get him for the minimum.

Koufax started with him, not sure if he kept him all year though.

His 2nd half was very good. And he had a pretty good k rate, and is cheap. k rate is good, but 5.55 ERA in 404 career IP. walks almost 5 guys per 9. i'm not trying to knock the pick, i honestly want to know if i overlooked a guy. i'll have a few more drafts in before the season begins and i use this league as a measuring stick. maybe i'll have to give him another look. I read that a lot of people like him as a sneaky pick this year because of all the things mentioned...2nd half, K/9. For what it's worth Matthew Berry has him having a Volquez type breakout year with a sub 3.50 ERA and 200 K's or something like that in a 'fearless forecast' article on ESPN. He could have 150 K's and a 6.00 ERA in Colorado or he get his shit together and be a nice player. He's probably a 20th round pick in another league, but worth the flier. Good pick Dave. |

I thought you all were talking about Franklin Morales for a second there, but he has a few more problems than De La Rosa at the moment.

I think Matthew Berry was being a little bold even for himself. I don't see how a guy who will essentially be 28 on opening day with 400+ innings in his career could be poised for a Volquez-esque breakout. Shouldn't that have happened already, and in some place other than Colorado? He could be a nice find, but Volquez was the top pitcher for the first half last season, if I remember correctly. |

I'd go so far as to say Matthew Berry is talking out of his ass. De La Rosa could only be poised for a Cliff Lee type break out. |

I was hoping Maholm would be there when I picked again in the eighth round. By the way, 'eighth' is the hardest fucking word in the English language to spell.

Remember everyone that with after Nellie's 1st pick the clock goes to 4 hours per pick.

I added the Volquez bit. He just said sub 3.50 ERA and 200 K's I think. I'm not a Matt Berry guy, I was just commenting on why a lot of people had him as a sleeper, since a lot of people read his stuff. |

He's really annoying. I've met him once and he was funny in person, but usually his atricles are all over the place. |

Trash-talking Matthew Berry has me thinking about our finally setting up our Sandlot blog. I think I'll set one up over at blogspot.com today.

Great pick with Cameron. Putting up those numbers in spite of a lengthy suspension made me a believer in him this year.

In a full season, will he finally be that 30/30 guy we've been hoping for? I'd say 30/20 is easily in reach. I'll make my next pick here in a few. Just have to check on a few things first. |
