I disagree on both counts. He's not a sissy and Zona has the talent to contend this year in a weak division. They're a completely different team from last year.
Roger Clemens is a sell high candidate. He's pitching out of his mind right now and at his age he should run out of steam in the 2nd half. Give him to someone who thinks they're getting an ace.
[b]Bold Predictions:[/b]
Grady Sizemore will have more value than Jason Bay regardless of draft position
Aramis Ramirez in 155 G will hit over .300 40 HR 110 RBIs
Brian McCann will have more value than Jorge Posada regardless of draft position

Yeah, but the Red Sox thought the same thing about Clemens a few Cy Young awards ago. He's a freak of nature, there's no predicting him.

You have any facts to back that up? I took a quick look through some guys for 2003 and 2004 and saw no consistent trend.

this would be selling green low. he'll have a big second half and will finish the year hitting at least .290 with 30 homers. i'm a big fan of green, and i think what we saw recently is more indicative of what's to come than his early season numbers.

D Lee- His value is unbelievable high right now, he will drop off slightly, but will still be his best year in the bigs.
C Floyd- Hes got the talent but he doesn't have the body. He will be on the DL within a month.
Buehrle and Garland- Balls are gonna start flying out of US Cellular soon, and Buehrle and Garland both gave up 30+ HRs last year, I expect there ERAs to drop to really high 3's or low-mid 4s
Roger- I dont care how well conditioned he is, hes not gonna keep up a 1.53 ERA
Kenny Rogers- Career 4+ ERA and 1.4 WHIP, pitching in a hitters park, its all downhill from here.

If carlos lee slows down, i'd be very shocked. The guy always tears it up after the all star break. That brewers lineup will be interesting to watch, and could provide a lot of RBI's. Man, i'd buy Lee up right now and ride him to your championship. Keep him if you got him
yeah i don't see any reason why carlos lee will slow down either. it's not like his batting average is significantly better than his career avg, his k/bb is on pace with his career avg, etc. i don't think he's a sell high candidate.
He is, however, a "sell really high" candidate, as I just got Beltran and Sheets for him (desperately needed a top-tier starter).
But Lee has about a three-year pattern of being a much better after the break.
Either that pattern comes to an end or Lee has a MONSTER season. I'm leaning toward the latter.

Wow, that's not selling high when you get Sheets and Beltran for Carlos Lee. That's robbing a dumb owner (Good job btw).
I wouldn't bet against Clemens in the 2nd half, just because everytime you think Clemens won't perform he turns around and does even better.

Add in: B Roberts-a total 1st half career player. He cannot keep this up!
D-Train-No one is willing to buy him high off of me right now so I stil got him.
Guardado-injury looming? He cant play with a torn rotator cuff for the whole season!
