Heck yes, not only does he still have his "stuff", he can also teach those young lefties they have, bucholz, nieve, and rodriguez

It is much too early to decide whether or not Moises Alou will have an impact upon the team because we really don't know who would like to play for the N.Y.Mets, or who may be available.\n\nBut, as it stands as of Nov/Dec 2006, I like Moises Alou and I hope Alou brings whatever is necessary to get the Mets into the post season playoffs for 2007. \n\nI hope the N.Y. Mets concentrate and seek out available pitchers as Tom Glavin and Pedro Martinez may be on the downward curve in their career.\n\nIf only Pedro had stayed healthy for the 2006 post season, I think the N.Y. Mets would have beaten the Detroit Tigers, as did the St. Louis Cardinals, in the World Series. \n\nBut, to answer the question,... yes, I like Moises Alou coming to New York.

He will do good but not as good as last year. This is hard for me to say (because I am a Yank fan) he did not deserve to win the MVP in the AL last year (David Ortiz, Boston Red Sox should have won). The biggest problem with him is that he hits home runs after they are winning by 7 runs it is sad but true.

it depends, yes he was good last year but this is an entirlely different game where the players r bigger, faster, and stronger, and have more experience, he'll b good no doubt, but until he gets his game 2 NFL calibur then he's gonna get knocked around for a little bit. when he adjusts 2 the game i think he'll do fine though

Does anyone really care? I mean the drama king of baseball would do all of us a favor if he retired. What an example he is setting for young people: waiting to see who might be a winner before he decides, as though winning were the most important thing. I am a Red Sox fan and truly hope he NEVER pitches again for the Boston Red Sox. He has always been a money grubber and has demonstrated that his loyalty is to Roger and only Roger. Frankly, I am sick of such prima donnas, Clemens being the worst ever. Too bad too, because he was a great pitcher.

Mike Stanton lately has not been as great pitching as in the past, but if you need someone for one or two outs, he most likely will be your man. Alex Gonzalez is a great addition. His glove is great and his batting average has gone up this year while in Boston. It's a shame the Red Sox did not resign him, because they have not a great short stop in a while, however, I think they will fit in well with the Reds orginization.

He played last year in Toledo at AAA level,  he played a whole four innings in the whole season.  He had a ERA of 2.25.  I'm not sure if he is playing this season but I'm guessing no. Was that good enough for you?

His control is getting worse for the last three years.  His WHIP has been increasing too.  He is still good, but no as good as before.  He is still capable to witn 15+ games, but not too many Ks should be expected.\n\nSafe bet, yes.  But it's hard for him to keep this sharp for the rest of the season.

I was just going to ask how many cub fans out there think the cubs will have a good year in 2006, and saw your post so....... As far as Dusty goes, I somewhat agree with what you say......he just does not seem to have whatever spark they seem to need to succeed. The bottom line is, though, that success\non the field is the real indicator of how good or bad a manager he is. Based on last year......the jury is out. I feel if the team is not better this year, Dusty will be somewhere else in the future.

you best believe andruw jones will!  i am predicting right now that he will carry the braves to a 15th consecutive title.  he will hit 50 homeruns once again, STEROID FREE, and like always, be the best centerfielder in the game.  he doesn't get enough credit for everything he does so hands down, its his year for mvp.

Hopefully none. Realistically, however, he may win 5 or 6. We can count on Roger to keep up the drama (He is the drama king of baseball) and mystery as to whether or not he will "retire" after this season. Stay tuned. Roger will have more and more and more to say about this in the future. He will mumble and stumble, and we will be left to figure out just what it was that he said.\n\nHope you agree.

He is not completely ready and has to build his stamina before he can play in the bigs.  The Astros plan is for him to play a game in A-Lexington, a game in AA-Corpus Chrisit and a game in AAA-Round Rock.  Barring any setbacks, he would pitch against the Twins at Minute Maid Park on June 22.  \n\nHe signed a deal for 22,000,022 (prorated for the season) and will start on June 22.  Notice the 22s. \n\nRoger will setup up when the time comes as he has in the past.  The big question is can he stay healthy and can the Astros give him ANY run support.

He is having a huge year on a first place team, so that bodes well for him. What doesn't look so good is that he plays in the same league with Albert Pujols, so the NL MVP award may be tied up for years to come. It all depends on how The Machine returns from his injury. Keep in mind that Pujols was so far out in front of the league in HRs and RBIs that even though he was gone for nearly a month, he still is 1 or 2 in those depts, and even if it takes him a week or two to get back in shape, he is close enough to the leaders to get back on top. But Wright is having a huge year, and having Delgado and Beltran protecting him is a Godsend.

hopefully. his age isn't really effecting him as much as it probably should and he still pitches well. he may not get awarded for anything for his pitching, but he will probably still do good.

I'd like to think so. It certainly looks possible. He's got closer every time they've played on clay, and noone is a better scout of their opponents than Federer. By now he's surely picking up pointers on what he has to do. \nThe enormous amount of pressure put on Nadal by the tennis media may well serve to help Roger too.

I think the Mets will give him through 2007 to blossom.  He should be ready to take over for Cliff Floyd in left and/or spell Shawn Green in right field.  The Mets have a history of being impatient with young talent (Amos Otis, Ken Singleton, Nolan Ryan, etc) and hopefully Lastings can grow into the 5-tool player that the Mets front office thinks he can be.\n\nHe's an exciting player, ala Jose Reyes, and looks like a good fit on next year's team.  But pitching is that rare commodity that some general managers will trade even their best prospect for.  I think all depends on what pitcher(s) you would trade him for - Dontrelle Willis maybe!?!?!

yeah, its not that serious so i bet he'll probably be back as soon as his 2 weeks are up on the DL. he's an OK 1b, if you dont have anyone better or want a good backup id get him
