NL Central Over/Under

[EnjoyYourTiger]

Under, he'll have less than Marmol

Astro All-Stars - 1

I'd say under, but that would be impossible. So, one.

o/u 2: number of games the Cubbies take from NY at home.

 

[Jntg4]

Over, because you get the Yankees and Mets, and you never specified.

3.50 ERA Andrew Cashner

Over. Way over. Probably like 4.4 range.

8 HR's for Castro

I think you are underrating Cashner, do you have an explanation of why you have it that high?

Under

Castro 10 SB

over...3

6 times dewey comes in to the cubs forum and closes a thread during the season

somebody has to mod.

Under

Castro 10 SB

Yeah, I do. Number of MLB games started: 0. He's not going to come in and be this magically pitcher just like that.

Over

Number of 2B for Soriano - 30.

 

[Jntg4]

Over, he has to produce this year or risk being benched, despite his salary, with Colvin and Fukudome fighting for playing time and Jackson coming up later this year. I think he'll have the equivalent of a contract year, whatever one of those would be for him at this point in his career.

Ramirez 25 HR

 

[EnjoyYourTiger]

Over. ray: But probably by a couple. He'll definitely hit under 30.

o/u .275: Colvin's batting average.

 

[zack54attack]

Over with .285


Over/Under W's first 30 games: 17

right, because pitchers who have never started, come in their first year starting never put up those stats.

number of times we have to hear about theriots comments 10

 

[waldo7239117]

CO why do you think Cashner will pitch so poorly? While Wells is a stud and a great pitcher. I'm a little confuse. BTW Cashner will be the 4th starter and Wells will be the 5th starter IF he earns it.

That's true. But based on his (albeit small) sample from last year, we shouldn't EXPECT that. I think it is pretty ridiculous to expect any player to step into a starting role and to expect him to put up those kinds of numbers.

Returning to the rotation. Cashner has never been on an MLB rotation. You can not tell me that you actually expected him to put up a < 3.00 ERA...

Nobody said under 3.00.

Don't know what the hell a <3.00 ERA is though.

Okay, then back to Cashner and your 3.50 number....

He had a 2.40 ERA apart from a couple bad games as a reliever. He always had an excellent ERA in the minors, and I'd expect him to be around 3.50.

You are saying like 4.50 or whatever though.

I think that's silly to expect that out of a rookie SP. You are just setting yourself up for disappointment.

4.50 is more than likely going to be a lot closer. You act like it's a bad thing, that's still about league average.
