... that though, so he gets the nod from me. 2. pitcher of the year- kyle lohse, braden looper or adam wainwright. I’ll take braden looper for pitcher of the year. must be the magicman dave duncan at work here. it’s gotta be him. lohse was good, but he has always had the potential and he kinda tailed off at the end there. adam was on the dl for a couple of months so I can’t really...

... hope. He’s my Player of the Year. ______________ 2) Pitcher of the Year Kyle Lohse Braden Looper Adam Wainwright _______________ Easily Kyle Lohse. I wasn’t thrilled by his second half numbers, but he was lights out in the first half, which was HUGE in the wake of losing Chris Carpenter, Mark Mulder and Adam Wainwright. 3) Game of the Year ( 8/9/07 and 9/21/07 ) July...

... hits per nine innings (7.22). Among NL pitchers, only Johan Santana had a better ERA, while only Adam Wainwright had a better winning percentage. I'm sold. Lincecum it is. Then Lidge, then Sabathia, then Santana, then Brandon Webb. I would have given it to Webb, but then I would have had to listen to Davidoff talking about how meaningless wins are.

... is a believer, calling for 31 HR if Ludwick can reach 538 ABs again. Rick Ankiel , Ludwick, and Adam Wainwright are the upside picks. A sub-3.00 ERA for Wainwright, perhaps? 35 HR for Ankiel in his walk year? Geovany Soto , C. Another big year projected: .294 AVG, 25 HR, 91 RBI. Tyler Colvin and Sean Marshall have a bit of upside - 20 HR is possible for Colvin (somehow given...

I do not know why but when Brad Lidge struck out Eric Hinske, I felt my stomach drop as though I were watching a video of Adam Wainwright making Carlos Beltran’s knees buckle. Even though 2008 was nowhere near the collapse (and was not a collapse, period) of 2007, this year’s elimination just became a [...]

... starting pitcher" in exchange for Holliday. And the Cardinals certainly aren't going to give up Adam Wainwright -- especially for a rent a player. At this point, I would be much more interested in Magglio Ordonez, a player who is under contract for three seasons.

... Crisis averted. Bring on the World Series. Could he end up being this year’s version of K-Rod or Adam Wainwright? Who knows. That’s the thing about these Rays, they always, always, find a way to persevere. No matter how bad things look, someone is always there to step up.
