maybe it does, but the cubs were quite right-handed the past couple of years and their defense sucked balls last season, so it's probably a good idea to address these things.

I think they gave up way too much here, but I'm not going to compare Cahill to Wells. I know their stats are probably similar, but Cahill will be younger for the next couple of seasons than Wells was before he even made his debut in the bigs. Maybe if Wells hadn't caught for so long, I could see this as a good comp. But I do expect Cahill to still improve from here on out. But he's not worth Parker, not by any stretch. I have to say, it seems that to a lot of people on this board if a finesse pitcher isn't Greg Maddux their automatically Randy Wells or worse, but there's plenty of room in between. I remember the same arguement against Jair Jurrjens, since he's not a stuff guy that we don't want him. I'd be happy to get either Cahill or Jurrjens and think either would be the 2nd best guy in our rotation, and that's not a knock on Dempster and Zambrano. cahill's performance in 2010 was a babip (.236!) mirage. he outperformed his expected ERA by at least a full run. dempster is quite obviously a better pitcher than him in a luck-neutral world.

he was paid around $3m last year and didn't play, so he's probably going to get about the same amount. he's way too good to not tender for $3m unless you know that he's never really going to come back from that injury. seems to me he'd get tendered and then traded, possibly with some contingencies so that the team acquiring him gives up more if he comes back and tears it up.

they'd pretty much have to. a high-profile child molester is not going to last long in prison, even if it's not oz.
-
so mark buehrle will have basically the same annual salary as cj wilson? does not compute.
-
he was named after dionne warwick apparently.
-
what would they normally do with an old man who's an accused child molester? i can't believe that they'd throw him in general prison population; he'd be dead in like 5 minutes.

Would you prefer that the longtime host of a baseball highlights show be someone who doesn't care about baseball?
-
Not really. It pretty much has to work this way, punishing players an usually coaches who had nothing to do with the infractions.

Plus nobody in America cares about the canadiens.

Interest in Hank Conger?
TruffleShuffle replied to Guancous's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I feel like hank conger has been a prospect for like 10 years, no idea why. He's not that old. -
Paterno never had a problem with males sticking their appendages where they didn't belong. Is he sexist now? -3.8

christian ponder [expletive] sucks

Well if he truly follows the Fridge's legacy he'll start drinking himself to death and you can have the last laugh. in his defense, the fridge isn't nearly as dead as reggie white. give it a year.

Treatable or not, that's very serious to get lung cancer at his age More or less serious than ignoring a child rape when he was 10 years younger? Please tell me you didn't actually go to northwestern. Jeez, should I have put this in green? I'll take that as "no I did not."

I hope he dies from it, PAINFULLY

Yeah I was gonna say, he gets a consultant job with the Cardinals. Larry Eustachy was just a little too far north.

david brooks had (what i thought was) a good article in the nyt, which kind of gets at what i was saying - trying to understand why so many people say they would have run to police or bashed in his head with a crowbar, when in real life many of these witnessed child abuse cases go unreported: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/15/opinion/brooks-lets-all-feel-superior.html?_r=2

2011 Arizona Fall League
TruffleShuffle replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
wtf cashner -
i'm assuming he's claiming to have told the state college police, not the penn state campus police. penn state campus is located in university park, not state college, and any crimes that occur on the campus fall under the jurisdiction of university park police. considering that they describe it as "official in charge of the police" i'm sure that they're talking about schultz. he was the administrator appointed to oversee the police.

The truth hurts, and boys will be boys, eh? Please present your evidence that everyone in the football program new that Sandusky was a pedophile, Gus.
