February 17, 200917 yr http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/powerRankings...P>1=39002 You can't like the Marlins over the Phils or Mets in the NL East, but this club is surely in the upper half of the NL. The young staff could be scary. I agree with this, The NL East is going to be a very competitive division again this season. What I dont agree with is the Braves being #8. I think the Marlins are a scarier team than the Braves. The Phillies are #3 The Mets #5 Braves #8 Marlins #12 Then the nats come in at #26.
February 17, 200917 yr Yeah, lot's of potential on this team with the pitching staff but considering that bullpen is so unproven I don't see them finishing that high.
February 17, 200917 yr Yeah, lot's of potential on this team with the pitching staff but considering that bullpen is so unproven I don't see them finishing that high. I think the bullpen is pretty proven, except for the closer.
February 17, 200917 yr Author Yeah, lot's of potential on this team with the pitching staff but considering that bullpen is so unproven I don't see them finishing that high. Better than the braves though. I honestly dont know why the braves keep getting so much love.
February 17, 200917 yr Phillies at #3 and the Mets at #5 is ridicolous. I hate to say this, but Phillies should be number 1. But the Mets shouldn't be in the top 10, let alone top 5.

I honestly dont know why the braves keep getting so much love. For the simple fact that it's "the Braves."
February 18, 200917 yr Phillies at #3 and the Mets at #5 is ridicolous. I hate to say this, but Phillies should be number 1. But the Mets shouldn't be in the top 10, let alone top 5. Sounds like a hater to me. Top 3 players at 3b,cf and ss and the best pitcher in baseball. We should be top 5.
February 18, 200917 yr Sounds like a hater to me. Top 3 players at 3b,cf and ss and the best pitcher in baseball. We should be top 5. And besides that, nothing but a bunch of old geezers and mediocre players.

Sounds like a hater to me. Top 3 players at 3b,cf and ss and the best pitcher in baseball. We should be top 5. Time out. Beltran is not the best center fielder in the game. And i literally laughed out loud that you think Reyes is the best Short Stop in the Game. If he's number 1 in something, It's the most over rated player in the game. You May have the best pitcher in the game( You actually don't), but that doesn't mean you have the best staff. I'd take our staff over yours any day. Bottom Line, You guys are not a top 10 team. Middle of the pack, sure.

February 18, 200917 yr The Muts and Yankees can spend all this $ and add all the superstars they want...its still hasn't won neither team a world series

February 18, 200917 yr CBS Power Rankings: Phillies #1 Mets #7 Braves #10 Marlins #18 Nats #24 Are we about to see v.3.0 of the Marlin Resurrection? Color me skeptical until the bottom-of-the-rotation trio of Chris Volstad, Andrew Miller and Anibal Sanchez proves remotely reliable. ... The physical impact of Matt Lindstrom's fastball has given rise to a thousand metaphors, most involving the obliteration of stationary objects. ... Hanley Ramirez started playing excellent -- not merely passable -- defense in 2008. He is thus now the game's best player. Only Albert P. comes close.
February 18, 200917 yr The Muts and Yankees can spend all this $ and add all the superstars they want...its still hasn't won neither team a world series only 28 combined... though 26 of those are the Yankees
February 18, 200917 yr Top 3 as in they are each top 3 in their position. Ramirez, reyes and then rollins/jeter/etc Beltran, sizemore and hamilton/granderson/ichiro A Rod, wright and chipper/ramirez/youkilis Wright has a very strong argument for top 3, and even that conversation has A-Rod, Chipper, Ramirez, Youklis, and Longoria in it. Hamilton is currently better than Beltran and stands to improve through his prime and Beltran stands to begin a decline due to age. Sizemore is currently better and also stands to improve. Reyes, despite being an excellent short stop, is not top 3
February 18, 200917 yr In all seriousness, the Marlins have a better team than either the Phillies or Mets. I believe that the Marlins will win the World Championship this season.
February 18, 200917 yr only 28 combined... though 26 of those are the Yankees I'm saying that in recent years the Yankees and Muts have been spending all this money and it hasnt warranted them anything...Yankees havent won a world series since 2000 coincidentally against the Muts....and dont even let me start with the Muts...choke artists
February 18, 200917 yr In all seriousness, the Marlins have a better team than either the Phillies or Mets. I believe that the Marlins will win the World Championship this season. Talk about extreme optimism......
February 18, 200917 yr Top 3 as in they are each top 3 in their position.

Hamilton is currently better than Beltran and stands to improve through his prime and Beltran stands to begin a decline due to age. Sizemore is currently better and also stands to improve. Reyes, despite being an excellent short stop, is not top 3 See now that's just plain stupid talk. Reyes is easily the 2nd or 3rd best shortstop in baseball and Beltran is THE BEST center fielder in baseball. Josh Hamilton isn't even going to be a centerfielder anymore but he doens't even come close to Beltran as an all around player. Look at his splits my man then come talk to me. Sizemore is going to be better probably within the next two years but he's not currently better then Beltran.

Sizemore is going to be better probably within the next two years but he's not currently better then Beltran. Sizemore is without a doubt the best CF in baseball. And talk about value - he's earning just $4.6m in 09, compared to Beltran's $18.6m in 08.

Career OPS+ Sizemore: 125 Beltran: 118 Why do I care what he has done for his career other then the mets. Beltran's OPS with Mets is 125 as well. And over the past 3 years, 135! I mean come on now. And last year he had double knee surgery and played with a rookie 3rd basemen in left field and a guy who has been out of baseball for 3 years in right field!
