Let's have some fun with old threads

Who did actually suck this year?

Lunchbucket =
Brian Bannister - YUP
Ian Kennedy - YUP
Marlon Anderson - YUP
Paul LoDuca - YUP
Eric Gagne - YUP
Billy Wagner - Partial


Met Irish:
Shelley Duncan/ Morgan Ensberg - YES & YES
Miguel Tejada - NO
Andy Pettitte - Not really, though fading
Jack Cust - Kinda the same as usual
Gary Matthews, Jr. - Certainly not good and not worth the money, though not useless



Michigan = [the entire NYY team]
Not each of them individually - but as a unit, yes





Willets = Tom Glavine & El Duque Hernandez -- YUP x 2



Valadius:
Dontrelle Willis
Ivan Rodriguez
- Yes and sort of




Centerfield sez; Carlos Delgado -- Yes then no, but overall no.


Soupcan sez; Luis Castillo -- Well he hasn't been good



smg =
Brian Schneider - Yes, but getting better
Eric Gagne - YUP
Dontrelle Willis - YUP
Dan Haren (probably won't suck, but I'm betting on him taking a step backwards) - NOPE
Mariano Rivera - NOPE (wishful thinking I suspect)
Mark Kotsay - Eh
Mike Hampton (if he actually takes the mound) - He barely did
Shane Victorino - NO
Scott Linebrink - Looks like he's been OK





attgig:
Torii Hunter - Def No
Zito - Yeah
Rowand - Been OK





Mario25:
Suzanne "face for radio" Waldmann - Heh heh
Tom Glavine - YUP
Mike Mussina - NOPE
Any Yankee First Basemen - Most of them anyway
Nomar - Yeah, pretty much



GWreck = Ryan Howard
Not AS good, but certainly not bad





Overall some pretty good calls in there.

[Gwreck]

I wish Howard would've sucked more (the 37 HR and 117 RBI are pretty good).

Regardless of the pick, however, check out the decline:

2006: .313 AVG / .425 OBP / .659 SLG

2007: .268 AVG / .392 OBP / .584 SLG

2008: .230 AVG / .322 OBP / .487 SLG

Throwing Mariano in was part wishful thinking, but last year was a bit down by his standards and he supposedly is getting older, so I figured why not throw his name into the ring. Oh well.
