    okay, so his really bad months were basically marginally better than an average month for ronny cedeno in 2006. Come on Truffle, you're better than that. Cedeno was 23 during his 2006 season while Fontenot was 27 last year. i stand by my opinion that cedeno will be continue to be terrible in the big leagues.

    welcome to america circa 2008

    wait he already pitched in a game right? i don't think it was much but i remember him getting an out, i think.
  4. TruffleShuffle
    4 goals, that's a season high right?
  5. TruffleShuffle
    in other words, there's something wrong

    flyers seem determined to make sure it's baseball season REAL early for me.

    typical brewer fans, right? ignorant and most likely 100 lbs overweight.

    in the words of tom smykowski, "what the hell is wrong with you people?"

    looks like he has enough power after all. move him back to the #3 spot.

    the way hendry operates, it's clear that he doesn't understand the term either.

    people do this all the time. in the nba, do you ever see a white guy's game compared to a black guy? don't think so. if he's white, plays small forward but has pretty good height, not terribly athletic, but can shoot well, he's automatically compared to larry bird.

    Fixed as something I would have said after 2005 or 2006 even. Young talent: Lance Briggs, Nathan Vasher, Cedric Benson, Rex Grossman, Daniel Manning, Devin Hester, Tommie Harris, Dusty Dvorchek, Bernard Berrian, Mark Bradley It's ridiculous to assume Rodgers would take over with no growning pains. yes, those guys were talented and mostly young, though some aren't great examples (briggs was approaching free agency). plus the packers have a lot of guys who are young and have proven to be very good - jennings, hawk, pickett, grant, and more. benson, grossman, manning and bradley haven't even proven that they'll be above average at their positions. and while i'm not assuming no growing pains, i'm looking at the two teams and seeing that the packers haven't lost much off last year's team, while the bears have not improved on paper at all, and have lost their best player at a position where they are already poor in talent. the packers will be better than the bears in 2008 unless rodgers is truly horrible, or the packers are completely decimated by injuries.

    hey if he is trying to be a successful major leaguer with juvenile diabetes, he's in a great organization for it. don't have to look far for inspiration or advice.

    This is a very stupid post displaying an extreme lack of knowledge regarding NFL. this is a very stupid post. i know teams in the nfl can flop places quickly. but most of the meaningful free agents are already signed, and it was a thin free agent crop to begin with. given what the bears have done, or more accurately haven't done, how can you say that the bears are going to make up the gap on the packers in the next six months? please, enlighten us with another stupid post.
  15. TruffleShuffle
    And then the cream of the crop.....LENNY! oh God, lenny harris. that guy has to be up to a D-cup by now.

    here are some other factors to consider: -what percentage of the time was he left on base last year? i have no idea, but that might have been higher. -he played in 153 games in 2006, but only 131 in 2007. i know that he was a regular starter in 2007, and missed some time due to injury. but he had about 50 more PAs in 2007. -so what was he doing in his 153 games in 2006, having only gotten 462 PAs? well, he did PH 38 times, which accounts for a number of his games. but i suspect he pinch ran sometimes as well, and was inserted in the game in a good position to score runs. i guess all that being said, stealing bases as effectively as he did it last year does help increase your run total, but variations in runs from year to year are much, much more reliant on factors outside one's control.

    the packers are vastly superior to the bears, and are a young team with a lot of talent that is likely to improve. unless rodgers is unspeakably atrocious - like ryan leaf bad - the bears are very unlikely to be as good as the packers next year, regardless of what moves they make in the next few months.

    this doesn't have first half/second half, but it does have monthly splits. http://firstinning.com/players/Rich-Hill-a/ doesn't look like much difference.
  20. TruffleShuffle
    I ouldn't neccesarily say that. The bottom half could be decent, assuming a proper lineup of... Soriano - 299/337/560 Fukudome - 289/401/504 Lee - 303/387/527 Ramirez - 301/363/536 DeRosa - 286/360/439 Soto - 273/352/470 Pie - 291/344/479 Theriot - 270/330/347 with pecota projections added. doesn't look too top heavy, though the four best SLGs are at the top. but i suspect that some of the projections - soto, pie, fukudome especially - are overly generous.

    i can do it if y'all need another. let me know. friday works for me as a draft day, i think.
  22. TruffleShuffle
    most guys who don't get in on the first ballot but get in soon afterwards are close. raines wasn't even close this year, he got 24%. unfortunately, he was a great player because he got on base so well (.385 OBP versus league average of .331 while he played), but this skill isn't valued highly enough by a lot of the old-school members of the BBWAA.

    if we really want an outfielder who can't hit, just call up tyler colvin.
