yu darvish

• Question:-Whats the deal with Yu Darvish and the Rangers? What are the odds they let him walk?
  Have talks broken down with Darvish and the Rangers?
  
  Does the Rangers interest in Prince Fielder indicate that the Rangers are going to let Yu walk?
  
  What are the odds that they land both of these guys? and when the hell will we know?
  
  Answer:-They will more than likely reach a deal with Darvish before the deadline next week they are disputing on years, the Rangers want a 6 year deal, Darvish wants a 5 year deal. It is less likely they will sign Fielder. Only time will tell where Fielder will sign in the next month.
  Go Yanks!
• Question:-Is Yu Darvish arguably the best pitcher in the world right now?
  I know most people would say that Japanese baseball is not as talented as American baseball but I still think Yu Darvish, only 24, could be really great in the US.
  Look at his career stats- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yu_Darvish
  
  BQ: Do you see him leaving Japan to play baseball in the US? If so when and how much do you think he could get paid?
  
  Answer:-He may be. It's hard to compare American vs. Japanese players.
  
  I don't buy the conventional wisdom that American baseball is unilaterallly better than Japanese baseaball. I think there's more variation between the best and worst players in the Japanese leagues, but I think it's very close in talent level to MLB. Admittedly, though, it is hard to take a league seriously if it includes teams named the "Softbank Hawks" and the "Ham Fighters."
  
  But Darvish has dominated that league. He's led the league in WHIPs for 4 years and ERA for the last two. And the man is only 24. He has a great future ahead of him.
  
  
  BQ: I'm sure some MLB team will throw $70 million or so at him in the next few years. Maybe not the Red Sox, though, since they've been burned by Japanese pitchers in the past.
• Question:-Who gets the $51.7-mill the Texas Rangers bid to secure negotiating rights to pitcher Yu Darvish?
  Who gets the $51.7-mill the Texas Rangers bid to secure negotiating rights to pitcher Yu Darvish? Does his Japanese baseball team? The Japanese league?
  
  Answer:-His previous team, the Nippon Ham Fighters (though I suspect the NPB league office skims a modest percentage).
• Question:-Who will land Yu Darvish when he makes an inevitable move to the Majors in a few years and how good will he be?
  I can't wait for Darvish to head to the Majors, even if he doesn't pitch for my guys. He's phenomenal to watch, and by the time he matures enough (basically the time he becomes a free agent) I think he'll be one of the best pitchers in the Major Leagues. Who will land him and how good will be?
  
  Answer:-only someone with a big wallet, so..... the yankees or red sox more than likely.
• Question:-Does Grady Sizemore and Yu Darvish make sense for the Washington Nationals?
  Grady is the Leadoff CF the Nts desperately need and it looks like the Indians will let him go not to mention he has power and speed!
  
  Are for Darvish, Strasburg needs a wingman in a bad way the best teams in baseball has 1-2 punches! I don't have to say much about his stuff!
  
  Answer:-No and no. The Nationals are already over paying for one underproducing outfielder: Jayson Werth. They certainly don't need another albatross around their neck.
  
  As for Darvish, he's a project. If he's signed, he'd likely have to spend a season or two in the minors as a starter or in short relief in the pros, see Aroldis Chapman, Kei Igawa. And when taking into accunt his posting price and his eventual contract, he's going to cost $100 million. He's not worth anything near that.
  
  If you doubt Jordan Zimmerman can be a legit No. 2 starter, just wait and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised how good he is.
• Question:-Why did Japan use Yu Darvish at the 9th inning of Japans win over USA sunday?
  I just thought this was wierd, 5 run lead in the 9th I would not use my star pitcher which could start on monday against korea. I also thought it was a bit wierd how they took Dice-K off after just 4 innings of good work. Do you think they will use darvish against korea as a relief in case Iwakuma fails?
  
  Answer:-For the championship game, they are going to start Iwakuma. I also thought it was a little weird that they would put in Yu Darvish, when it was almost clear that Japan would win, and also with the fact that the next day is the championship game, which is itself more important. As the other answerer says, I also think this was for exposure.
  
  I do not think it was weird at all how they took Dice-K off after 4 good innings, like you say. He threw the ball 98 times, and he was clearly showing some signs of fatigue, such as his arm position, if you looked closely. I think the Japanese management just wanted fresh arms.
• Question:-When will it be announced who wins the negotiating right for Yu Darvish?
  I believe posting ends Tuesday, so is the highest bidder announced then, Wednesday, or a later time?
  Correction, posting ends Wednseday evening.
  
  Answer:-I think they have to the end of the week and then the Jape club has to decide whether they want to accept it or not, and if they do then the US club has 30 days to design him, or they lose the money for the bid.
• Question:-What spot in the rotation will Texas Rangers Japanese pitcher Yu Darvish hold?
  Do you think he will be the first starter or fifth or will he be on the AAA or AA squad to start the season....looking to get some good input. THANKS!
  
  Answer:-
• Question:-Is Yu Darvish coming to America next year, and if so what teams will be going after him?
  Probably a big market, big budget team, as in the Yanks, Redsox, Dodgers, Cubs or Angels.
  lmao Kevin, ur answer is just amazing, one of the best answers I've seen on this site in a long time.
  
  Answer:-Yep. It really sucks for small ball teams that teams can just go and sign him without having to draft him or anything.
  
  I get the feeling Red Sox or Yanks will be the frontrunners for him.
• Question:-Do you think Yu Darvish will fit in with the Texas Rangers?
  "Fit in" as in will he adjust to Major League Baseball as he did with Japanese baseball?

  I have just finished watching a movie called 'Alive'. It's about people who survive a plane crash in Alaska, but have to start eating each other when other food sources run out. Personally I don't believe God would approve so I wouldn't do it. I'd rather die and go to Heaven instead.

  Not an "ancestor" to modern day humans like a monkey that resembles a human, but an actual human being like today's version.
  You mean 40,000 years old.
  
  Answer:-Rock art in Australia 40,oooyrs old, cave paintings in France 26,oooyrs old, Modern human shaped bones/ skulls/ complex tools found in South AFRICA 100-120,000YRS OLD. mICROCONDRIA DNA VARIANTS/ mutations traced back to a common African Ancestor about 200,000yrs ago.

• Question:-What is the average lifespan of a human being?
  I am quite interested in how long people live, and it so happens that my only surviving grandparent, my mum's mum is 88, 89 in October. What is the average lifespan of a human being, for women, for men and for both averaged out?
  Is 88 over the average lifespan? Do a lot of people live to this age?
  Thanks.
  
  Answer:-Overall: 78.06 years
  Male: 75.15 years
  Female: 80.97 years
  
  These values are for the U.S., please check the source for other countries. Not many people live to 88 years, and 88 years is well over the average span of 67years for the world.

seattle weather

• Question:-Seattle Weather?
  Hey guys, this is for those of you who know Seattle/Washington really well. I'm moving there next summer, and I was curious about the weather habits. I know it rains a lot, blah blah, but I mean bad weather. Here in Texas we have tornadoes and really bad thunderstorms, etc. and I'm kind of going to miss that. What does Seattle have?
  
  Answer:-I guess if you're from a very dry area, the weather can seem very rainy here, but in actuality, it's no rainier than New York.
  Our winters have, until last winter, have been mild, with rain and morning frosts. Sometimes we'd get an inch or two of snow that would stay a day or two at most. We were unprepared last winter with a wild wind storm that killed the power in most of the pacific northwest and then some nasty freezing weather. Later we got several inches of snow. We are supposed to expect more winters like that in the next several years.
  Springtime, the clouds are confused. Quite often the weather changes its mind several times in a day. An average spring day could go something like; Sun, rain, sun, hail, wind and rain, sun, a boom or two or thunder, sun and wind.
  Don't plant your gardens too early. Often, we are fooled by what looks like an early spring and the flowers open up, and then we get some frosty mornings that kill the young blooms.
  Summertime usually greets us with some thunderstorms and wild rainstorms. Then comes the hot and dry season. We're on fire-watch right now with upper eighties to nineties weather.
  Fall is my favorite. After a few rainfalls to cool us off from the summer, the trees explode with color. Things usually dry back off for a while so people can go outside and enjoy the fall colors.
  Suddenly, one morning, there will be fall on the ground and things are never quite warm again for that year as we slip once more into winter.
• Question:-What is your view of our (Seattle) weather?
  I don't know if youve seen the news but Seattle's rainy image is FALSE. Yeah our heat wave right now is rare (it got to 103 F wednesday!) but really, our weather is very nice. But i want to hear what everyone else has to say about it!
  
  Answer:-Yeah, you stole New England's summer, we want it back, and you can take our rainy crap
• Question:-How is the weather in Seattle like in March?
  Hello, I have a plan to visit Seattle in late March for a week, alone. I wonder how is the weather like during that time. Would it still be OK to walk around and have a good time there? Never been there before. Please give some advices. Thank you very much.
  
  Answer:-Ordinarily the weather in March is pretty crappy (lots of clouds and rain), but this year we've been having a very warm winter, and I think March will be a very pleasant month. Already, we're getting temperatures in the mid-to-upper 50s, which for the middle of January is pretty nice.
  
  Expect a lot of cloudy days, but you'll get used to them very quickly. The rain in Seattle is very overrated; we get much less than cities on the east coast. It's just really cloudy all the time.
  
  As for things to do outdoors, I'd recommend checking out Pike Place Market downtown (touristy, but a nice area), the waterfront, Gasworks Park on Lake Union (which has fantastic views), and Green Lake/Woodland Park. There are also many beaches along Puget Sound and Lake Washington that are very pleasant on sunny days (if there are any).
  
  If you're willing to travel a ways, Whidbey Island, particularly Deception Pass State Park, is beautiful in any weather. If you're interested in winter sports, I'd go to Crystal Mountain or Snoqualmie Pass in the Cascades, they usually still have snow throughout March.
• Question:-What kind of weather this Winter is going to be expected for Seattle?
  What is the weather going to be like this Winter? Since Seattle's weather is unpredictable, and we usually get very mild Winters but sometimes we get a lot of snow. A lot of Meteorologists and Climatologists have said that the coming winter is going to be bad but it never happens. What does a large high pressure system in early December usually predict? A huge high happened 2 years ago around the same time but in January after that, it was around 50F! What do you think this winter would be like? Is it La Nina or El Nino?
  
  Answer:-Despite what they say, nobody can predict the next season with any accuracy whatsoever! I have a been a meteorologist for 16 years. They try to link atmospheric patterns to la nina and el nino, but it's such a loose correlation, you can almost make the data fit whatever you wish it to.
  
  Look, if we can't predict next week, how would you expect anyone to predict months from now? Case closed. Holler if you hear me!
  
  If I were you, I would just expect "normal" weather, which is rainy followed by cool followed by brief warm ups followed by rainy followed by cool.
• Question:-Can someone tell me how weather in Seattle, Washington has been this month?
  I'm going to Seattle, Washington tomorrow, and I was wondering if anyone could let me in on how the weather is so I know what type of clothing is appropriate. Yes, I could always watch the news, but yet again they don't always get the weather right. So from someone who is in Washington currently, how has it been?
  
  Answer:-It's been rainy with a chance of drizzle, showers overnight and through the weekend.
• Question:-What is the weather like in Seattle during summer?
  My family and i are planning on taking a trip to Washington and the Seattle area. What is the weather like during July and August?
  
  Answer:-I lived there 10 years and summers are GREAT. Don't worry about the rain because it's kinda dry those months. It will never get hot, and the nights are cool. It is perfect. Don't forget to eat the blackberries that are all over the sides of the roads. They are so tasty and ripe in late july and august.
  
  You gotta take a ferry boat trip into the San Juan Islands when you are up there. You will never forget that the rest of your life.
• Question:-what is seattle weather really like all year long, especially winter?
  i am born and raised in New england, I currently live in philly which was a temporary stop along the way. My ultimate goal is to be in a climate that is warm all year long. I don't like winter. I really don't want lower than 50's. I have looked at "weather averages" for a lot of places. Seattle is one place that always interested me, but i am not sure the weather interests me. I would want to know from people who live there or have lived there previously.
  
  Answer:-I live in the Seattle area now, and have lived here for 12 years.
  
  Summer weather (July-September) is warm during the day and dry, and usually cooling off at night. Most of us do not have air conditioners in our homes because it just doesn't get that hot that much here.
  
  From the end of September to the end of June the weather is cooler, grey and damp. Average rainfall is only about 37 inches per year, but it comes down in long drizzly days. Even on the days it doesn't rain, there is more grey clouds than sunny days through fall, winter and spring.
  
  It does snow here, but not too often. Last year was heavier than usual, and we had maybe 6 snowfalls in my area just north of Seattle. Usually it snows enough to stick and affect everything once or twice a year.
  
  If you really don't want temps lower than the 50's, then Seattle isn't right for you. We had a low temperature last week (in June) of 48 degrees. Granted, that was at night, and during the day we were in the 60's, but still, that's what it is like in June here. In winter, average temps are lows in the 30's and highs in the 40's. And we will get one or two "Arctic Express" fronts from Alaska that will drop temperatures into the teens each year.
  
  I think you need to be looking at locations further south if you really don't want the cold.
• Question:-What is the weather in Seattle like in mid-Sept?
  I am leaving for Seattle on the 19th of Sept, I need to know what kind of clothes to pack. I looked up the weather on the internet but all it says is "Sunny in the 70's". Is the 70's hot? Could someone who lives there tell me the kind of clothes I should pack. Jacket, sweaters, t-shirts.

  Answer:-k first of all. the MORNINGS R COOOOLD. so yeah bring a jacket for the mornings. during the afternoon short sleeved shirts will do. u can wear jeans with it, it wont get that hot. at night its cold like the mornings so yeah wear layers. seattle's weather is practically a routine. mornings r cold, afternoons r the hottest, and the nights r cold.
• Question:-Hows the weather in Seattle around early October?
  I'm going on a trip to Seattle in early October, but I'm clueless on how the weather is around that time since I've never been to the west coast? I just would like an answer to know what kind of clothing to bring with me..
  
  Answer:-October is the transition month from the dry sunny summer to the wet overcast, cool temps the rest of the year. If you are lucky, the first couple of weekends in October can be really nice.
  
  Plan for cool weather: lows in the mid 40's to highs in the upper 60's with a chance of rain and you cannot go wrong. Enjoy your visit.
