It looks like his learning control process is going to take awhile. While I really like Haren, Kazmir has the bigger upside. As for Schmidt, he has the most value for this year alone of all of them. Just realize that a trade this year is possible (although I say unlikely), and it is likely he'll be on a new team next year. Still, I say do it - it helps you this year, and Kazmir's future may very well be the brightest of all as well. If you are playing for this year, I definitely say unload Cabrera.

I'm thinking it will be a hitter over a pitcher and most likely from the AL squad. So that at least narrows it down. I also want to recommend taking the moneyline for the AL, but Kenny Rogers starting makes me pause just a tad. Still, I say it's the AL winning yet again.

Ortiz has been on an absolute tear in the past couple weeks. You think Manny gives Ortiz protection in a line up? For the all star game he'll be followed by A-Rod, Vlad then Pudge. A pitcher cannot win in this situation. I predict 2+ extra base hits 4+ rbis... The other favorite at +800 for MVP would be pujols, but i doubt they'll pitch to him much. THey'd much rather see Jason bay followed by rentaria. This strategy falls to complete shit if MVP goes to a pitcher, which could only happen in an outstanding outing. And due to the fact that the starters are Rogers and Penny, I don't expect either of them to get much love. I guess ortiz isn't a sure thing, but i stick by the 2+extrabase hits and the 4+rbis... he just has the best spot in the line up out of both teams... he'll have ichiro and jeter on base in front of him, and arod vlad and pudge behind him i pray i dont have to eat my words.

And Wood probably won't even be back next year. Dusty Baker is gone as well. THe Cubs are officially cursed. Even Prior admits it’s all on the Billy GOat at this point.

I wouldnt say Glaus is any less likely than the others, so with those huge odds, Im thinking him also.
