Clement will probably be a defensive liability for them, but his bat is the hot commodity. A record of 7-5 or 8-4 is not only a realistic goal? it is probably the only goal that can be considered realistic for the Bulldogs. If you have seen her race, she’s the bubbly American who wears a tiara on the podium.With just three weeks left in the alpine season, Mancuso will have time off after the Games to relax and maybe work on her own business empire. He is very good at throwing on the run and unlike some scrambling quarterbacks, LeFevour will make strong, accurate throws on the run.However, ge will have to go against some of the top quarterbacks (Jimmy Clausen, Sam Bradford ) and being a “mid-major” quarterback prospect, LeFevour will have to prove all the critics wrong. Unless the ref is willing to give you 45 minutes and an ice pack, you’re not coming back from multiple mashings of the man-bits, especially not against a quality heavyweight like Gonzaga.Ultimately, a decision has to be made and I’m siding with the Canadian.

The Cleveland Indians may be rebuilding again, but it’s hard not to be optimistic when CHONE predicts the team to win at least 81 games and finish second in the division.Let’s take a closer look at those projections, using WAR Wins Above Replacement.For those unfamiliar with the stat, WAR compares a given player to a replacement player basically, any random guy you’d pull out of AAA.WAR is nice because it takes into account defense and position difficulty it’s harder to play shortstop than left field in addition to offense.It’s said that a team of nothing but replacement players will win 47 games.So let’s start with that as our baseline.First, we’ll look at the position players.FanGraphs includes this year’s CHONE projections, and even gives a WAR number.So that makes things easy.Here are the position players on the 40-man roster.Player WARGrady Sizemore5Shin-Soo Choo3.1Asdrubal Cabrera2.8Jhonny Peralta2.2Luis Valbuena1.5Matt LaPorta1.3Louis Marson1.2Travis Hafner1.2Brian Bixler1Michael Brantley1Mike Redmond0.8Trevor Crowe0.8Wyatt Toregas0.8Jordan Brown0.6Carlos Santana0.4Andy Marte0.3Nick Weglarz-0.1Chris Gimenez-0.5Jason Donald-1Wes Hodges-1.1Carlos Rivero-1.3 Sizemore and Choo are really good, but you already knew that.Next, the Non-Roster Invitees.Player WARShelley Duncan1.5Russell Branyan1.2Brian Buscher1Austin Kearns0.7Luis Rodriguez0Mark Grudzielanek-0.3Damaso Espino-0.7Niuman Romero-1.1Beau Mills-1.2Lonnie Chisenhall-1.8 Assuming we assemble a 25-man roster with 13 position players and 12 pitchers, here are the best possible position players we could take.Player WARGrady Sizemore5Shin-Soo Choo3.1Asdrubal Cabrera2.8Jhonny Peralta2.2Luis Valbuena1.5Shelley Duncan1.5Matt LaPorta1.3Louis Marson1.2Travis Hafner1.2Russell Branyan1.2Brian Bixler1Michael Brantley1Brian Buscher1 OK, so we’re short a catcher that won’t work.Now, here’s my best guess at what the actual opening day lineup will look like.Player WARLouis Marson1.2Matt LaPorta1.3Luis Valbuena1.5Jhonny Peralta2.2Asdrubal Cabrera2.8Michael Brantley1Grady Sizemore5Shin-Soo Choo3.1Travis Hafner1.2Mike Redmond0.8Brian Bixler1Andy Marte0.3Russell Branyan1.2 The realistic lineup gives us 22.6 WAR, and the best-case gives us 24.Add that to our baseline of 47 wins, and we’re already on pace to win 69-71 games.Now, the pitchers.CHONE’s website itself lists Runs Versus Replacement for pitchers, which is nice.The common standard is that ten runs is equal to one win, so we’ll divide the RVR by ten to get each player’s WAR.Here are the pitchers on the 40-man.Player WARJustin Masterson2.7Fausto Carmona2Aaron Laffey1.9Jeremy Sowers1.5David Huff1.4Hector Rondon1Jake Westbrook1Hector Ambriz0.8Carlos Carrasco0.6Kerry Wood0.6Mitch Talbot0.6Rafael Perez0.6Chris Perez0.5Jensen Lewis0.5Jess Todd0.4Tony Sipp0.4Joe Smith0.3Jeanmar Gomez-0.8 CHONE didn’t have a projection for Kelvin De La Cruz.But boy, it sure is high on Justin Masterson, isn’t it?The non-roster invitees.Player WARAnthony Reyes0.9Jason Grilli0.6Mike Gosling0.2Saul Rivera0.2Frank Herrmann-0.1Josh Judy-0.1Zach Putnam-0.3 Alex Whiteand Yohan Pinodidn’t get CHONE projections.Here’s the best possible group of 12 pitchers.Player WARFausto Carmona2Aaron Laffey1.9Jeremy Sowers1.5David Huff1.4Hector Rondon1Jake Westbrook1Anthony Reyes0.9Hector Ambriz0.8Carlos Carrasco0.6Kerry Wood0.6Mitch Talbot0.6 Rafael Perez is also at 0.6, so feel free to substitute him in for Carrasco, Wood, or Talbot as you see fit.Here’s my best guess at the opening day staff.I wasn’t sure quite how it was going to turn out, so I started with the guys under contract (Westrbook, Wood, Carmona, and Perez), added rule five pickup Ambriz, then just went in descending order by WAR after that.Player WARJake Westbrook1Kerry Wood0.6Fausto Carmona2Rafael Perez0.6Hector Ambriz0.8Justin Masterson2.7Aaron Laffey1.9Jeremy Sowers1.5David Huff1.4Hector Rondon1Carlos Carrasco0.6Mitch Talbot0.6 The best possible scenario clocks in at 15 total WAR, and the “realistic” one comes in just under that at 14.7.Add that to our 47-win baseline and the 22-24 wins by the hitters, and we’re looking at a team that should win at least 80 games and could win as many as 87.Of course, a word of caution: it was these types of sabermetric projections that predicted the Tribe to win the Central in ‘06, ‘08, and ‘09.But still, it’s February, so why not be optimistic?. Prior to the 2009 season, Chargers head coach Norv Turner made six changes to his coaching staff.
