[POJO_Risin]

Click here (http://www.fantasyoutlaws.com/blog/news.asp) to check out my Updated Fantasy Baseball Rankings on this year's top 30 or so catchers at my Blog at www.fantasyoutlaws.com.

[ALinChainz]

Excellent ... and more of our baseball dudes gettin' shit stirred as well ...

The site is stretching beyond football ...

[ALinChainz]

Damn fine reading too btw ...

[Guitar Shark]

That's actually a really impressive article and analysis. BTW, I think you called Kenji Johjima perfectly.

[POJO_Risin]

Thanks...The Colorado Catching job is interesting...

I didn't mention Closser...who may start...

and whoever ends up with that job will put up some good power stats...but they'll probably fucking split time...ruining that spot...

but Johjima...I really think he fits in with that large middle group of 15-60-70's...

but...COULD have a strong half...and will be helped along by Madonna...er...Ichiro...

I'll post them all as I cut through them...1st and 3rd Base tomorrow...and I'll be updating those as well...

[POJO_Risin]

My absolute dream job would be writing this shit for a living...

[POJO_Risin]

Check out my other blogs there too...lmfao...

I may throw another one up tonight after a few beers...a rant...;)

Dook-North Crapalacky is on tonight...and I have many thoughts about that fucking shit ass rivalry...

They turned a car over after a game a few years back, and got all hot and bothered about how that proved they hated each other more than any other rivalry...

Of course...when I told the people around here that we used to barbecue over burning michigan cars after V's in the Ohio State Michigan rivalry...

well...you get my point...

not even close IMO...

[tjvhou812]

well...hopefully i can land tek again this year

[DlocRoth]

Mauer is supposed to be lookin good this year.

[POJO_Risin]

Yeah...we'll see after a few more weeks...

I'll hold off my judgment on the cripple until the season actually starts...;)

Seriously...he's got all the potential in the world to be one of the top 2 or 3...

but it seems like he's always battling nagging injuries...or just plain out...

any talk of him moving positions?

[DlocRoth]

Nope.

Well, yeah, with the media.

But the Twins are insisting he's gonna be the everyday catcher.

The power is supposedly showin up finally.

[POJO_Risin]

Huge kid...

and makes great contact...

if he plays 130-140 games...

without injuries...a major one...anyways...that nags him all year...

like I said...if the power shows up...

he's immediately top 3...cause there's a guy that should probably hit .300+...

[DlocRoth]

I think he'll be a career .300 guy for sure. He's a pure hitter.

Fuck it, DH his ass and it'd be on.

[POJO_Risin]

If the guy can play catcher...he can sure as fuck play first base...

Definately. I wouldn't worry about injuries on him too terribly much, he got through the season last year, and first spring training game, he hit a hell of a home run to center field. While he is injury prone, he's not in the WBC, and the Twins will give him all of the rest he needs to keep going strong.

This was a great read, I look forward to reading tomorrow's article. :)

[POJO_Risin]

What hurt him last year is that he was playing hurt an awful lot...not that most players don't...

but I remember watching a game on ESPN where they were talking about how different his swing was...because of injury issues...

Don't really care how this sounds ... but Poj is the shit ...

lmfao...I haven't agreed with 1 thing you've said in 6 years...;)

[vheddyrmv8]

Hope you get paid to do this some day, you're very knowledgable on almost every sport.

[POJO_Risin]

I don't know if that's a good thing...or a bad thing...

unfortunately...lmfao...unless I get "discovered," it's never going to happen...because I don't want to put the time in I'd have to to have the career I ultimately want to have...

if that makes sense...

besides...I love the job I have now...

would love to do this shit on the side though...

[POJO_Risin]

Yo Al...I'm screwing around with the format...hope that's okay...

the hacks you and your brother put in are gone...didn't realize that would happen...but I hated the backround...

Nah, that's just semantics my brother....

I've thought about blogging every now and then, but I don't think I can handle the humilation of all those people telling me how full of shit that I am.... ;)

Nah ... whatever works man ...

VA ... you have as much knowledge as anyone I know ... and being in our age group ... (whew, I know we're up there) ... just the years of being a fan makes an interesting read ...

and fuck what anyone else says ... your opinion is yours ... if you ever think you wanna give it a whirl ... we're always looking for writers.

You let me know.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I like the new format better Poj...

That old one was too blog-templatish, ya know ??

[POJO_Risin]

Thanks man...I didn't like the old format at all...

when I rooted around a bit, I found some other templates, and stayed up way to late fucking around with it...but alas...what are you going to do...

New update coming up...

http://www.fantasyoutlaws.com/blog/ffnews.asp

[POJO_Risin]

[POJO_Risin]

Simply outstanding VA...lmfao...Al doesn't know what he's gotten himself into...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Hahahaha...

It's kinda strange...

You start typing and the shit just starts flowing....

Wait until you see installment #2...

You're gonna love it.... ;)

I whip it up tomorrow morning....

[POJO_Risin]

lmfao...

the beginning of the end of life for Va...

as he becomes a resident Sports blogger...

lmfao...

which is essentially what you've been for the past 6 years...

Hey man...this summer...I need to come up for a weekend series with the Nats...or the O's...

I may need to try and get some tribe tix...and bring the boy up...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I've got a couple of tix already for Nats/Bucs on Sat. May 6th (only time they're in DC this year)...

The Tribe is only in Baltimore this year for 3 days, Tuesday, 18April through Thursday 20April...

I really dislike these schedules.... Even once hated rivalries like Phillies/Pirates are only one series per city, that's terrible...

[POJO_Risin]

Ahhh...fuck it...

wait...

nope...fuck it...no way I can make those games...damn it...
