OK, nobody respond to what this guy says, because that really, really freaks him out.

 

Just explain how you think "Cubs fans" are overrating Starlin Castro.

*really* sucks

.302 obp....

 

shoulda traded him.

 

okay he doesn't suck (too much), but he's a guy who will probably never be a consistent obp threat and some idiot GMs will pay top dollar for him because he knows how to "hit".

 

love your username. why you gotta suck so much as a poster, tho?

You're all like "who said this" and "who said that?" when the answer is clearly nobody, because I never said that anyone did. They are statements that I personally made that did not refer to anyone else. I think that Castro is overrated by "Cubs fans in general" because he has been over-hyped from day 1 as being a future superstar, and I'm just not quite on the bandwagon yet. Folks on this forum are more realistic than "Cubs fans in general", though, so again, I'm not referring to specific posters on this forum.

 

Serious (but off-topic) question: Just out of curiosity, how many other forums are there like this (outside of other sports teams) that are made up of a bunch of really smart, sarcastic, white-collar folks that just take turns battling each other with witty zingers all day? It's like a really fast-paced, never-ending pissing contest. You can leave and come back several days later, and jump right back into the same pissing contest :lol: This place is so different from all the other forums I'm on. I'm not saying it's a bad thing at all... I actually quite like it. It's just different, like I said.

We've seen what he can already do offensively; now we're seeing what he can do with improved defense. He's only 22, so he manages to put those things together and continue developing as a player and you're talking about an incredibly valuable asset: a SS who can pull off a 5-6 WAR for years.

Yeah I have no idea what WAR is, so you got me there. I'm not not all baseball-y like that.

That explains a lot. Actually, pretty much everything.

That was the inspiration for my post. It was a close call for me, and we might not be so lucky in the future.
