I didnt realize schilling helped randy throw the ball
I think he means without Schilling that there will be more pressure on RJ, but I don't think there will be more pressure on RJ without Schilling there.
Pitching for the Yankees, Kevin Brown without a doubt.
That infield weakness handicapping Brown is a load of crap.
Brown will be very dominant this year as he was last. RJ has way more question marks over him IMO. Taking him early is a major risk and I wouldn't touch him until I see him blowing hitters away again. He was just far too hittable after he came back last year for my liking. Sure he may be better but I doubt he gets back to his 2002 numbers.

Just because there isn't black and white empirical evidence, doesn't mean that the Yankees defense won't allow quite a few more hits than the Dodgers' defense did. They're terrible. Pretty damn close to the worst defensive player at every single infield position. Take the fact that he's going from the best hitters park in the majors to Yankee Stadium, and that also has an effect. He has also spent over a third of the past 3 seasons on the DL, so I hardly consider him a safer bet than RJ.
If you want a headache, go with Brown. If you want a guy who when at the top of his game was one of the best of all time, go with RJ.

I'm suspicious of the Yankee rotation this year, I think it might flop... I don't really think of Mussina, Vasquez, or Brown as ace material, and they're playing in a pretty tough division...

he's talking about rebounding...schilling boxes out really well, thus freeing rj to get the loose ball.
although, after boone's injury, they may all back off from the b-ball for awhile...
