    agreed, and it's been like this for a while. too bad the management doesn't see it that way.

    yes, his "one lousy year" is also the most recent. as a player ages, his most recent season is a pretty significant factor in projecting his future. cliff floyd today is not the same player he was in 2005. he's injury prone and on the decline, which leaves his upside at about the level of production murton can be expected to have. the problem with playing floyd is that murton has the potential to produce more than that - floyd doesn't. just for reference, murton's 50th percentile PECOTA projects a WARP of about 3.6. floyd? 2.8. if floyd wasn't so old, i could understand a "down year." at age 34? nope.

    Bruce Miles said "Hendry wouldn't deal Hill for Dunn straight up." He was speaking hypothetically, I don't believe this deal was ever even rumored. you are correct. bruce was just showing how highly hendry valued hill.

    Reminds me of another Cubs manager. so i guess you guys would be satisfied if murton started but we were losing?? How does the poor-fielding old dude with a .746 OPS help us win more than starting Murton would? im not saying he does, but constantly complaining about it when we're up 7 runs seems a bit dumb IMO. it will be nice when murton is really rusty when floyd has his inevitable injury. will definitely help this team win a lot of games, right?

    he did take it away from someone. when he was starting at the end of last year. shouldn't floyd have to take it from him?

    a .792 OPS from a corner outfielder is not "hitting." sample size blah blah blah, i know. you still can't call it "hitting."

    Are we resorting to dissecting him to figure out what's wrong? or perhaps surgeons have found things wrong with guys that don't show up on MRIs? yeah. fwiw, i'm not championing this approach - it's just something that was mentioned and worth discussion.

    apparently not as much as arroyo owns the cubs, heh

    against clemens and the astros, so obviously they scored no runs.

    hmm...will carroll was talking about how he almost hopes that yocum cuts him open. if that happens, and prior misses the season, he doesn't accrue any major league service time (if i'm understanding the rules, correctly), so he would become a free agent one year later. here's hoping yocum can figure out what's wrong (and fix it so he can pitch in 2008).

    uhh, you forgot to mention that most of those "major league relief pitchers" also failed as starters in the minors. small detail that is kind of important there.

    sure is nice to watch the other fox games online instead of the white sox

    mlb.tv premium actually makes games watchable on there. it's pretty nice.

    it could still be from the rosin bag. wouldn't be surprised if it's a foreign substance, though.

    agreed. can't stand him.

    take a look at the rest of his line. he walked a guy, then intentionally walked pronk. he was in trouble in the 9th. judging the trade by 1 inning is not smart.
  21. ltb
    it seemed pretty obvious to me that he was injured..the drop in velocity and lack of control on sunday were not typical of him
  22. ltb
    just an fyi, you probably don't want to do this in game threads. it's a surefire way to get yourself banned quickly.

    don't forget the quote about david wright not clogging up the basepaths because he stole 20 last year that was golden

    last i checked, pinnacle's over/under on wins for the white sox is 88.5. better get those under bets in, folks!
  25. ltb
    overrating the closer position, i think. they're going to have to stop using him for over an inning too, as he's going to be ruined pretty quickly if they use him like they did last year. some friends of mine who are huge boston fans are indifferent - they want to see him start, but they really like having the closer because they've seen what closer by committee can do, i suppose. i have a fantasy draft tonight..too bad this information will spread too quickly to get a decent deal on papelbon.
