This is like having Marshall Faulk on your fantasy football team in 2000 and screwing up the rest of your draft to finish 7th.

Danks & Floyd are unexpected?

I guess if you didn’t think Putz was healthy, I’d give you that one, but not sure they are surprising anyone.

GB improvement rate was unexpected, is how I read it.

And Floyd holding onto his gains from 2009 is unexpected.

I really liked the Pootz acquisition, and it has panned out well. KW generally hits at least one home run each year with a trade/reclamation “deep value” project. I’d say Pootz is his 2010 success story.

You will look at my bicep and you will see a 20-inch bicep and you will say "Wow, look what this training has done" - that's the obvious. The harder you work, the more you gain, there's no shortcut, and that each time you fail, that you just got to get up and try again. (Arnold Schwarzenegger)

agreed, he will be considered type B FA, no?

According to a guesstimate I saw on MLBTR, yes -- he's currently type B.

Danks the most underappreciated player in baseball? Marchman thinks so:

Now that he is learning to win, his appreciation quotient will skyrocket.

Now, I will continue to live life in the exact same way I have been, just to appease the gods. Seriously, I will suck the dick of karma ten times over to see the good guys keep up this stellar play for the rest of the season.
