It's a good question

My guess is 9, because injury problems will linger and the Giants might have a more effective 5th option (I can see Sabean signing a veteran FA…too bad Maddux will retire)

As a 20+ voter, I’m thinking he either has comes back or he doesn’t, torn between 0 and 20+ I figured I’d go optimistic today, since I went pessimistic in the Predict the Elections results electoral college vote.

Castillo got the DFA. Guestimate for Castillo DFA to come before the 2009 season = 2.

My 1-10 vote probably wouldn’t change.

I think he returns this year

as a shell of his former self. I see at least one trip to the DL, and after 10 or 11 starts of ineffectiveness, a trip to the bullpen or a late-season shelving on the DL

STEVE HOLM! refuses to be the odd man out.

by UnleashTheGore on Nov 5, 2008 12:19 PM PST reply actions  

Yep

Pretty much this, only I have him for less than 10 starts.

Noah Lowry

Brother Noah will be good as new

by wilriv21 on Nov 5, 2008 12:21 PM PST reply actions  

Do you mean “start for the San Francisco Giants”? Because I can definitely see some Fresno action for Noah. The big club? Not so much…

by Lars The Wanderer on Nov 5, 2008 12:21 PM PST reply actions  

My question was not restricted to the Giants. Good catch. Total starts, in any capacity.

by Grant Brisbee on Nov 5, 2008 12:23 PM PST up reply actions  

gamerism

Noah is a gamer and his good looks bring girls to the park, this keeps him out there 15 or so no matter how bad he does.

Oh hell, this again. Way to harsh my Obama buzz, Grant!

20+ person here: I’m smoking hope, like yesterday. Okay, a bit of a stretch that Lowry starts = Obama presidency, but you gotta have dreams of all sizes …

Still-proud, adoptive mama of Notgardo Alfonzo, who's back from the 50-game purgatory. He promises never to do it again. I couldn't get him to promise to hit, though. We're working on that with bribes of M&Ms, kind of like potty training.

Very Nice TK !! Way to put that Spirit Award to work :-)

Gets a few Spring Training starts. Then his arm falls off mid-pitch. The arm will be about 6 inches off the plate for ball four and a run is walked in.

by chilibean_3 on Nov 5, 2008 12:33 PM PST reply actions  

I'm sorry to say...

this made me LOL because I can totally see this happening….visually…in my head….and NO, I’m NOT crazy.

Uncle Sabes...How much longer til we get there?

by NorCalGiant on Nov 6, 2008 5:28 PM PST up reply actions  

I’m being optimistic and saying he makes one start.

There amass been plenty of articles written this spring about the stud shortstop Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum , as well as the fluid young outfielders and thirteen basemen Kevin Frandsen.

50 starts!

Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?

by shikantaza on Nov 5, 2008 12:43 PM PST reply actions  

I go with 14. Just because it is a nice round number.

I would rather have him come out of the bullpen has a long reliever. We need to start bringing up some of our young pitching talent.

by Baybear on Nov 5, 2008 12:50 PM PST reply actions  

I'll predict...

11 to 15 mildly sucessful starts and a trade….for a CF :-) or is it a 2B this year ?

Talk about lazy journalism

I voted 0. No hope here. Dude doesn’t pitch again, but won’t announce his retirement until the next year cuz of the benjamins.

I’d love to see him come back, but I looked it up in my gut, and it says he won’t.

I'll predict...

24 starts

7-11

4.61 ERA

79 K’s

84 BB’s

3 women impregnated

1 DL Stint

I voted 20+ because of the liberal media!

by satyricrash on Nov 5, 2008 3:01 PM PST reply actions  

I've noticed a lot of hate for Noah Lowry over the last few years

is it because of his walk total, or overall lack of control? I’ve always liked lowry, but then again i always liked jerome williams too

I haven’t seen any hate, just lowered expecations.

I don’t hate him, I just don’t think he’s any good anymore.

bad arm injuries + job that requires using arm . . . .

The Denker bus is now bound for San Diego. Those who were passengers on it are now angrily stranded at a gas station in Modesto, CA. Not much about baseball here .

I’ll say about 4 starts
