I know that I said some very unkind things this offseason, and may I be the first to wish that Tim never fixes search, so that if you come to this board, you will never see them.

 

May your next 120 starts be this strong. (If they aren't, you're still a waste)

 

Love,

IMB!

Some interesting comments in that thread - I know its early, but some people wanted Weaver (wow), Suppan, and Schmidt ahead of Lilly. So far its worked out well for us (hope it continues).

And more to the point, getting a pitcher who in the past has been mediocre to bad in the past and hoping he'll improve is really not a smart route with the composition of this team.

 

Lilly was pretty good in 2002 and 2004, and decent in 2006. It's not like he's Rusch here. Nate Robertson has some similarities, results wise. I think Doug Davis is another comparison. These guys aren't great, but if you are going to be getting multiple pitchers, they could be the robin to the offseason equivalent of batman. Throw Moyer money at them, and you could benefit. I'd like to go in another direction myself, but if you have multiple holes, this type of pitcher might be a reasonable target.

 

This goony fella sounds like a smart baseball fan. He could go places.

I've been pleased with Lilly's success so far this year.

 

But let's wait until the summer months to judge him. He is a flyball pitcher, so it should be interesting to see how he does at Wrigley when the wind is blowing out and when it's warmer outside.

Antoine Walker looks like he's about to cry everytime I see his face.

 

 

Thats because he is always whining at officiating or invisible hand checks from bulls defenders.

He's spent all of his new free time opening up the world's first jerkstore.
