Nice post Bill. I found it interesting that you’ve used a pair of pocket rockets from a no limit hold ‘em game. You won’t always win with them, but there’s no other hand I’d rather have to start with. Same here.

Both these guys are young, both are only going to get better and, as you noted, pocket rockets is not a bad hand to kick things off. The Cubs just have to survive April without Lilly and I think they may be worth watching.

I don’t think so. Neither guy has the violent mechanics of them and, in the case of Peavy, he is a proven commodity and not wishful thinking.

Peavy was hurt last season.

His ankle and then a freak line drive. Nothing related to his pitching style.

It could be. Wells’ growing ‘me first’ attitude kind of irks me, but if he can pitch with a low 3 ERA for a season, I can live with it.

Great baseball post...makes me want spring training to hurry up.....32 more days. It will be very interesting to see how Wells does in 2010. If Peavy stays healthy the White Sox have a real shot at the AL Central title.

I sign every autograph I can for kids because I remember myself at that age. I think it’s ridiculous that some guys won’t sign for a kid.
