Brandon League = Sex Machine

[B-Chad]

Brandon League has no shot at closing, because the cafe's resident scout says so, go on fantasizing about an event that will never occur

[AussieDodger]

If Aardsma holds his mechanics, League has 0% chance of ever taking that role from him.

I don't think any closer is 100% certain of their role.
Aardsma could still pitch well, but have the horrendous early bad luck that Hanrahan had in '09, and Seattle would most likely chuck him out on his ear. This could happen to any pitcher.

In my opinion he still should turn back into a pumpkin because he is a flyballer with a career 5.17 BB/9.

60% of the time it works every time

[StlSluggers]

League was acquired for a "name" young pitcher, and under the hood his numbers in '09 were excellent: 9.1 K/9, 2.5 BB/9, 55% GB.

His ERA etc can only get better having the elite Seattle defense behind him.

If you are looking for a speculative RP to pick up "just in case" this is your guy.


As a side note, David Aardsma has been hurt and pitched like a dog so far - 3 innings, 4/1 BB/K, 10.80 ERA.

This forum uses the phrase "sex machine" too much.

I'm somewhat of an expert on sex machines, and Brandon League is no sex machine.

Machine or "inflatable doll"?

A sex machine does not take poundings
