SEATTLE MARINERS AL PTP ROSTER
While Grady Sizemore works on his swing in Triple A, my MLB lineup features just the right balance of rangy, speedy slappers and inflated-OBP big-boppers. Walk, walk, homer...walk, walk, homer...got it!?! Pitching wise, Seattle's as good as it gets. With two aces selected in the first two rounds, my rotation is top notch. The bullpen's stocked with live arms, strikeout artists and WHIP monsters. Good luck with all that in the post season....
HITTING:
c - Mike Napoli
1b - Lyle Overbay (RH) and Nick Swisher (LH)

All that and Grady Sizemore waiting for a mid-season call-up...watch out now...
You don't say...
ReplyDeleteIs this a post? Man, do I struggle with technology. No lie.
ReplyDeleteNick - do you mean to include your roster here? It is a snappy title
ReplyDeleteOK, you've got my attention. But, ah - is that it?
ReplyDeleteFark!
ReplyDeleteThere was a power outage at UWM yesterday, just as I was about to send my roster etc.
Argh! Of course I did not mean to send just that, albeit clever, headline.
Wait - who are the big boppers in this lineup? Swisher? Napoli? Kubel? Suddenly I feel better about Godzilla and Morneau-for-4 on my squad...
ReplyDeleteOh, and Tiger-killer Carl Pavano can cram it.
Nick
ReplyDeleteDisturbing picture of Grady - although I'm sure you have it saved in your My Pictures file. The line-up looks preaty good, but I can already see the manager filling out the line-up card: 3-Kubel, 4-Lind, 5-Overbay combination, hello left handed specialist! Then comeback with the righty, and there goes the platoon. The pitching is solid, looking forward to going head to head.
