Baltimore Orioles

This is the first team that I will be analyzing for my team analysis. This is a good team so it will be posted on the Home page and MLB page.

Baltimore Orioles: Last Year was a great year for the Orioles as they were a surprising team and ended up making the playoffs. We haven't heard much from these guys from the off-season so my thought is they are very happy with there team and want to try again for a World Series Title.

Starting Pitching: 3/5- There really not any superstar pitchers on this team but there are some reliable pitchers on there team that can and will be able to go 6+ innings and give up 1-2 runs.

Bullpen 4/5- There bullpen if decently good but if they have to go in at inning 4 that's where there might be a few problems.But if their starting pitchers hold up and go 6+ innings like I said above there are going to win a lot of games, especially with a veteran in Jim Johnson who saved 51 games last season.

Fielding 3.5/5- With them bringing in an veteran Cassilla who is pretty good in defense, plus with their star center fielder Adam Jones, I don't see them making too many errors.

Hitting 4.5/5- They have got some explosive bats on this offense. With Adam Jones putting up some good numbers, to Matt Wieters getting a hot bat at the end of the season. Also watch out for Machado who was their rookie 3rd baseman last year, he will steal a lot of base and probably not hit a lot of homeruns. They also have J.J Hardy who is an all around hitter who can have a good bat bat at times

Overall 4/5- This year will be an amazing year for the Orioles the one problem they might have is that bullpen there starting pitchers will really need to go at least 5 for a good performance from their pen.
Record-95-67 with a Division Title (Sorry Yanks)

Woodson Gone?

Charles Woodson is reportedly going to get dropped by the Packers., This is very shocking to me as I would have thought Woodson was going to finish his career in Green Bay. Charles missed 9 games last season because of a broken collarbone that happened back when the Packers had played the Cardinals. If this becomes true, I would think that they would draft another S/CB. Charles Woodson still has a good year or two in him and will probably not retire. We will be losing another great player that has been loyal to the team throughout his career. Woodson ended up playing in the 2 playoff games that we have played. I will be monitoring this to see if anything happens or if this is a true statement.

MLB

Hey guys I will be doing a series which I will be grading each team on: Bullpen, Starting Pitching, Fielding, Hitting, and how I think they will do in the regular season. I will be posting this on the MLB page but for some of the bigger teams I will be posting it on the home page too. I will try to post at least 1 every weekday if not 2 if I miss a day. This will start on Monday. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend

Super Early MLB predictions

In the American League East I expect the Yankees to have an up-and-down season, all season long as the Baltimore Orioles take the division. I also expect the Red Sox to have a bounce back season but still miss the playoffs coming out in a close 3rd or 4th for the division just in front of the Yankees but behind the off season stars so far in the Toronto Blue Jays who I think have a great rebuilding season but just miss and come in on 3rd or 4th. Tampa Bay Rays will take 2nd and get the second wild card spot.

Kyle Lohse still available!

Kyle Lohse is still somehow without a contract as he has shown nothing but improvement in the last few years.  Lohse is expected to find a contact soon, though a number of teams linked to the right-hander are seemingly distancing themselves.  My recommended teams for Lohse are the Rangers, Mariners, Padres and Indians would all be good fits for Lohse. Although with Lohse's projected value being so high most teams would have to give up a draft pick to get the money to sign him. While basically the only good free agent left in Michael Bourn just got picked up by the Indians, questions are rising as to see when Kyle Lohse will finally get signed. Whoever picks up this 35 year old star will surely be a lucky one.

Athlete of the Day

1. He was recently traded.

 

2. In the 2004-05 season, he was the only rookie in the league and only player on his team to get a triple double.

 

3. In his second season, he shot 50% from the floor while averaging 12.3 points per game.

4. Some people might consider him a SF.

LeBron's streak snapped

     LeBron's amazing streak of 30 points on 60% shooting in 6 straight games was snapped last night. This is a record setting streak and it helped the Heat get some W's on the way. Last night they defeated the Thunder by 10 (110-100)behind 39 points, 12 boards, 7 assists, and 2 steals from James, but he ONLY shot 58.3%. Last night Wesbrook and Durant did their thing for a combined total of 66 points (40 for Durant), 13 boards, and 14 assists, but it wasn't enough to stop LBJ and the Heat who rolled over the Thunder by ten, although the streak was snapped.
