Remember, he almost always pitches better after the All-Star break. But if you can get a top-10 player in return, I'd probably do so. Did you have anyone in particular in mind? Burrell is someone to consider selling-high. The power is for real, but he's injury prone, typically a .250 hitter and might leave Philadelphia after the season.

Even if he doesn't live up to expectations, he could be the Yankees' #2 starter overnight. But here's an unexpected rub: how much run support will he get? Hmm.. and how much will he need?

That IS ironic. My guess is that this is some 13 year old kid who just started reading blogs and is amazed at how he is allowed to actually make posts.

I know in my gut that one day Kazmir will be the best pitcher in the league. Thats how things work in Mets Land. lol My friend told me that DBack fans were booing Davis last time out. That is harsh. I have a feeling Scherzer will be in the DBacks rotation come playoff time. Damn that team is strong. As a diehard Mets fan.

I'm all for people disagreeing with me - love some healthy debate, but it would be far too time consuming responding to all of your misinformed comments that are mainly an attempt to antagonize. I'm not big on Campillo at all - but he did have a 3.10 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 2.9:1 K:BB ratio over 264 minor league innings - not exactly "terrible." My favorite part about you is when you keep bringing up Sidney Ponson, when I made a comment below that article insinuating anyone would have to be a moron if they didn't catch that joke. There's irony there. And I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm really not. I always welcome differing opinions. But seriously, you're just not worth the time or energy. So if you think my site is terrible, by all means, I encourage you to stop reading and move on to other sites. In fact, I implore you to. Later bro - I wish you all the best.

This is from MLB.com: "Chamberlain didn't need to last year, when he believes he compiled an 0.38 ERA down the stretch using 98 percent fastballs and sliders. To the best of his recollection, Chamberlain threw only four curveballs and three changeups in regular-season duty, and one of those changeups was by accident." Now, he's been mixing in tertiary pitches more this season in order to prepare to start, but he's got plenty of work to do before they are effective. And don't get me wrong - I'm very high on the guy. Captain Obvious – It’s true Joba can throw a curveball, but he throws a fastball or a slider more than 90 percent of the time.

It’s a nasty curveball. He also throws a 2 seamer from time to time. So technically the change up will be his fifth pitch. He was only ALLOWED to throw the slider and fastball last year out of the pen, though he unleashed a nasty curve against the Indians in the playoffs at one point, which is why you may be mistaken. ROTOSCOOP MISTAKEN??? NOOOO...LOL...OF COURSE HE IS MISTAKEN...EVERYTIME HE WRITES SOMETHING MORE RIDICULOUS COMES OUT... CAMPILLO WAS TERRIBLE IN THE MINORS..CANT PITCH MORE THEN 5 INNINGS..AND NEVER WAS A BIG PROSPECT..HE WONT EVEN MAKE IT THRU THE SEASON IN THE ROTATION MARIAH IS NOTHING SPECIAL...
