Rob discusses the scott lewis selection and ends with this:

"I like the Indians. I think they're going win their division. But their No. 1 starter isn't going to go 22-3 again, their No. 2 starter went 8-7 last season and Nos. 3 through 5 are question marks wrapped in enigmas surrounded by conundrums. So at the very least, it should be an interesting spring and summer in Cleveland."

The way I look at it with our #1 and # starters is that I believe we will get more than 30 combined wins from Lee/Carmona in 2009 versus 2008, one way or another.

  1. and #2 starters, I mean

I got screwed up with the formatting (I can type so I thought) – #1 and #2 starters

I still don’t see how Fausto won’t win the Cy.

So 2009.

100% chance Carmona wins the 2009 Cy Young award.

I don’t think Neyer is Insider content any more.

DEAR GOD LET THIS BE TRUE

Could be, but look at the link:

That’s true, but it works for me & I haven’t given ESPN any of my money. You can change it to just www.espn.go.com/blahblah and it works too (yay free Neyer).

DISCLAIMER: I may be bitter.

Good. I just let my subscription lapse (so I could “afford” mlb.tv), and it was unclear how I was accessing Neyer’s stuff.

Guess I still get to read Rob.

Your link isn’t a Permalink.

Involuntary shudder.

An assortment of comments from the ESPN comments section:

When Carl Pavano is your #3 starter, you are essentially looking for a perfect storm of fortune or you’re in big trouble. And it’s not as if #2 starter Carmona has a track record of many successes, either.
no one has even mentioned how mediocre to bad the bullpen is.
The Twins could have 3 starters (Liriano, Baker and Slowey) who could be as good as, if not better than Lee this year.
Cliff Lee was a nobody before last year.
this team had Cliff Lee and CC Sabathia last year, and still finished under .500.

If there were more than 19 comments, I might not have been able to make it through to the end.

I can’t really quarrel with any of these, except for the second one.

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

by Jay on Mar 27, 2009 8:11 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

and there’s the minor point that they didn’t finish under .500 but exactly at .500…

by Logodaedalus on Mar 27, 2009 8:16 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well, at the point they were officially “finished,” they were well below .500.

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
