    I think a pretty good arguement could be made that he is not one of the top ten players in the game. If he is not he is close. And he is the best SS in professional baseball, until Rodriguez decides he wants to play short again. Tejada was 39th in MLB in OPS, and he plays average at best defense. And what were his offensive numbers compared to other SS? I'll take average defense with the numbers he puts up. You are going to have to break off this obsession you have with demonstrating that Tejada isn't that good. It does not hold water, especially given his contract in compairson other top of the line SS.

    It is a puff piece becuase it is not news, nor is it news worthy. In addition, it could have been writtten about the vast majority of all professional baseball players. As I wrote, what would people be saying if the story was about Patterson rather than Pierre? Patterson spent last offseason in Mesa working out so he would be ready for the 05 season. A fat lot of good that did him. Whether I like the trade is competly irrelevent. I find it beyond my scope to comunicate how foolish it is to think that professional athelets don't work hard. The people that fit the profile I bolded in your above post usually don't stay around long no matter how much talent they have. Nor would they ever make it to the majors.

    The Mets are said to be intrested too. I think they could put a package together that could compete with the Cubs. However, if Anehiem wants to part with a few of the studs they have on the farm no team will be able to compete.

    C'mon, don't take things out of context! It's pretty much saying, "If, in the unlikely event that Miguel Tejada is traded, the Cubs are the early frontrunners." I guess that may be viewed as optimistic, but I was really expecting something else when I read the topic title/message... So the real early favorite is Baltimore? :D Weren't the Cubs the early fav for Furcal?

    I am confident in my assumption that the puff piece written about Pierre could have been written for just about any professional ballplayer. They all work hard to get to where they are whether they be the lowest guy in A ball or a perenial all-star in the majors. What would people say if one changed the name from Juan Pierre to Corey Patterson? EDIT: Working hard is a pre-requisit for the job. I wish someone would have told Bush that 6 years ago.

    I agree with that point, BUT look at the state that leaves Houston's pen in. They have nobody. It's no worse than the state of their offense. If Clemens doesn't come back, it could be a long season for the Astros even if they trade Lidge for a bat.

    This is a smart move IMO. "Closers" are the most overvalued commidity in baseball.

    Let the propaganda machine begin.

    Would Hildalgo accept a bench job? Would Dusty know he is a bench player? I like those two for the bench.
  12. CubinNY
    I agree Vance. I think Pittsburgh is going to be better than last year too. If the Cubs don't land Tejada or a big bat for the outfield I will be very worried about fighting it out for last place with Cincinnatti.

    Choi would be a middle class version of Adam Dunn if a team would give him 500 PAs in a season.

    To the Moderators, Is there anyway to condence these three threads?
  15. CubinNY
    Because she knows more about sports than me and is hot. She is not just a talking head like the others. You can talk sports and have fun in the bedroom all at the same. That is a win/win in my book, fellas! :D

    Who is everyone? It is more than likely that his numbers took a dip b/c Baltimore was hopelessly out of the playoff picture and he had to field endless questions about steriods, thanks to our ould pal Raffy. These guys are professionals. I cannot understand anyway it would even be remotly possible that one player disliking another could ever affect how that player produces.
  17. CubinNY
    Not to try and hi-jack this thread. The 1984 Chicago Cubs were the best Cubs team in my lifetime (born in 1969). It is a pitty, as I think even if they could have gotten past San Deigo there was no team that was going to touch the Tigers that year. ------ I'll take Abreu and Lugo too.

    If the Mets get Tejada Reyes would have to be sent to Baltimore along with a pitcher and another prospect. IMO, Reyes is on the Corey Patterson track. He was rushed to the majors, has great tools, and won't take a walk.
  19. CubinNY
    Oh My Len. If Hendry could get Tejada this offseason would be close to smashing a success. I am not getting my hopes up. Williams Pawelek Cedeno Dopiark (he is destined to be a DH anyway) That would be my offer.
  20. CubinNY
    That's extremely freaking arguable. I know. We just had about 30 pages worth. I wish the Cubs would have aquired arguably the best player in baseball.
  21. CubinNY
    Go bucks!
  22. CubinNY
    I wonder if 5 million dollars would change his mind? Give him the money in unmarked bills in a garbage bag on his way to Philly.
  23. CubinNY
    Why do you say they were going to suck. Before the fire sale they had one of the best pitching staffs in the majors. They also had a top 5 outfielder a very good 2nd baseman. They would have compteted, especially with what is going on in Atlanta. I totally disagree with that.
  24. CubinNY
    No kidding. The runaway choice for best team in the PCL is now limping. I think Brownlie is destined for the bullpen. I wonder if JC is still his biggest fan?
  25. CubinNY
    I think we have a winner. Give that man a cupie doll.
