Fantasy Baseball: Sunday Night Roster Noise

Well, baseball season is finally here!!! I am off with the kids on spring break, so I hope to catch some afternoon games tomorrow while the two year old is napping, especially the Dodgers-Pirates game with the hope that Vicente Padilla pitches like he did in the playoffs last year, and makes all the nay-sayers look bad for questioning Joe Torre’s decision to start him on Opening Day. I mean, he’s facing the Pirates, not the Rockies or Phillies people.

I also want to know how a 95 win team that loses Orlando Hudson and Randy Wolf is not picked to win the NL West in 2010? Does the fact that that Rockies two best relievers start the season on the DL mean anything? Is the Rockies lineup really that good with 3 guys who hit .240 last season in Ian Stewart, Clint Barmes and Chris Iannetta?
