By seasons end, they will be where everybody expected them to be. Nowhere.

It depends on what you mean by nowhere. Will they make the playoffs, maybe not but they appear to be much better than a 70 win team also.

A couple of their better players in Santana and Carmona haven't even played well to this point.

I highly doubt Carmona plays well, Snatana is a good young player.

I still don't believe this team is for real.

Hat, can you make a thread like this about the UT football team before the season starts?

To be fair, they did look pretty bad on paper. This was, however, premature.

Disagree. Baseball is the one sport where going by the "paper" works a majority of the time.

In that case, the Yankees should win the World Series at minimum every other year.

The Giants looked like a playoff team last year, but a World Series winner? No. And the Rangers? Who picked them? Looking back, Tampa Bay didn't look like a glorious team on paper, and they played for the World Series.

If baseball is anything, it is the one sport where anyone has a chance because an off night messes your team over so bad.

Of course in a small sample size like a 7 game series anything can happen but over the course of a regular season the teams that are good on paper usually are good.

you have 161 chances to make up for that off night. One off night doesn't mess you up until you reach the postseason. Off night in football, especially college football and yeah, you're screwed. Baseball teams have 30+ off nights a year and the better teams still usually wind up on top.

What's your definition of "on top"? Winning the World Series?

There's usually two, rarely three teams that are expected to contend for their respected divisional crown. Those two teams are usually the ones battling in September

You say they should win it every other year. In actuality, they only win it, on average, once every four or five years.

God I hate them.

Well, I meant at the position. I'd take Sizemore over McLouth. I'd rather have Heyward/McCann than Choo/Santana.
