An Interview With A Florida Marlins Fan

2007 Team Analysis: Florida Marlins
Pete’s Perspective The font page of their team website should read: Under Construction! What in the world are they doing?! While they’re at it, they might as well trade Hanley Ramirez, Kevin Gregg and Dan Uggla as well! All three would get a lot of interest, especially Ramirez. I bet they could get a lot […]
2007 MLB Team Analysis: Washington Nationals
Pete’s Perspective There’s not much here to write home about! This is still the old Montreal Expos, just in new duds & a new city. Albeit, a big time US city that happens to be our nation’s capital. What better place to host a team from our “National Past Time”? They deserve better than this, […]
Major League Baseball Team Analysis: Atlanta Braves, Part 2
By Peter Schiller The Starting Rotation The 2007 Braves rotation was not even close to what the fans in Atlanta have come to expect.

Major League Baseball Team Analysis: Atlanta Braves, Part 1
Pete’s Perspective By Peter Schiller The Usual Suspects The players who supported the Braves offense in past years, did so again in 2007…with a little help from their youth movement.

Maine’s […]

A Position by Position Breakdown of the 2007 Season By Peter Schiller C Paul Lo Duca, who is now a free agent, caught 119 games for the 2007 Mets and was ranked 14th among all major league catchers offensively. He is an average hitter, above average for a catcher & 2007 was no different. He […]
Philadelphia Phillies, Part 3
A preview of the 2008 season By Peter Schiller 2008 Needs: If the Phillies want to improve upon their first round appearance in the 2007 playoffs, they have to strengthen their pitching & they need to replace or re-sign Rowand in CF. I would have said that putting speedy Michael Bourn in CF might have […]
Philadelphia Phillies, Part 2
A review of the 2007 Phillies & a preview of the 2008 season By Peter Schiller The strength of the 2007 Philadelphia Phillies was their offense, but now let’s look at the pitching staff! Then we’ll wrap things up by addressing Philadelphia’s biggest needs going into 2008. The rating system that I used as the […]
Philadelphia Phillies, Part 1
A review of the 2007 Phillies & a preview of the 2008 season By Peter Schiller The strength of the 2007 Philadelphia Phillies was their offense, especially from ¾ of their infield!
