    What Burroughs needs to do is contact Raffy's pharmacist.

    speaking of conor jackson, think how young and good the dbacks offense could possibly be in a couple years with Jackson and Quentin(my two favorite prospects in all of baseball), Drew, Santos, Hairston, eventually Upton

    Losing Macias wouldn't really be a loss. Addition by subtraction my friend.

    The HOF isn't a place for what ifs.

    Really? I could have sworn someone else on this board quoted a substantial loss in runs for Ozzie. Not that I disagree, but that's what I remember hearing. BTW, what calculations do you use to come up with these numbers? His career OPS+ is 82, I'm pretty sure an average OPS+ is around 100. It sounds like overall he was below average, but compared to other shortstops in the the league he was slightly above average.
  6. CoolHandLuke
    Can anyone find any defensive metrics that estimate how many runs ozzies defense saved over his career?
  7. CoolHandLuke
    I actually think Edmonds may have a shot. His power and plate discipline combined with his defense(percieved defense anyway) give him at least a shot, especially if he can put up 4-5 more productive years.

    Its so hard to tell when they're having a new episode or a rerun. Good show though. Last semester I watched it every morning. In fact it made me skip physics just about every day.
  9. CoolHandLuke
    other = Curb your enthusiasm cant wait for new episodes!

    Ha. I love Lieber for what he did with us, but I remember someone trying to say earlier in the year that he was a Cy Young candidate.
  11. CoolHandLuke
    If it does regress to .350 that means he hits like crap the rest of the year.
  12. CoolHandLuke
    I would think that they would get a better score for the entertainment and fan. Santo is one of the biggest cubs fans there is and when he groans in agony he is pretty much groaning with the entire fan base. Also I dont really understand why some of the teams radio team is being judged and some of the teams tv crew is being judged. Its kinda like apples and oranges.

    I don't think having Ramirez for a while has much to do with sing, as he is not and I dont think ever was a thirdbaseman.
  14. CoolHandLuke
    a big NO to Carl Crawford.
  15. CoolHandLuke
    check out baseball-reference.com there you can check out career transactions and I much prefer it over baseball-almanac.com for stats

    Call me crazy but I don't mind guys who hit homers when a single is needed. Heres my off the wall theory: HR>1B Also Juan pierre is one of the most overrated players in baseball. He is decent but I can't wait until he hits free agency and somebody gives him about 8 million a year. Speaking of overrated, isnt it funny how Carlos Beltran goes from being one of the most underrated players to being one of the most overrated players?

    How do you feel about Felix Rodriguez? He just came back from the DL and we just got a replacement for Holla. Do you think a Holla/F-Rod swap would help the team enough? I have no problem with that. Holla is a bench player in my mind, and Gerut is a better platoon LF. The thing I worry about is paying prospects for middle /setup relief, which can be like playing the lottery in terms of projecting performance. Are you referring to something similar to Garland for Karchner?
  18. CoolHandLuke
    Who would have thought that Billy Beane traded away the right two guys? After looking at the three pitchers stats I would say that Barry Zito is the one having the best year, and I did not see that coming at all.
  19. CoolHandLuke
    my life sucked until I found out about firefox.
  20. CoolHandLuke
    I sure hope his new teamates like him.
  21. CoolHandLuke
    I wouldnt mind a Nixon/Murton platoon especially if nomar comes back strong in a few weeks. vs lefties Walker Nomar Lee Aramis Burnitz Murton Barrett Patterson vs righties Walker Nomar Lee Nixon Aramis Burnitz Barrett Patterson/Gerut ?
  22. CoolHandLuke
    Based on combined OPS it looks like the cubs currently have the top one-two offensive punch in baseball. as far as I can tell it goes like this: Aramis/DLee: 2141 ARod/Sheff: 1975 Pujols/Edmonds: 1971 Roberts/Tejada: 1944 Cabrera/Delgado: 1923 Manny/Ortiz: 1907
  23. CoolHandLuke
    Fixed 2004 splits His OPS with the Astros was 900+ so I would call him a pretty huge part of their run offensively, as well as defensively.
  24. CoolHandLuke
    I would put quentin and jackson higher.
  25. CoolHandLuke
    I'm not saying that platoon wont happen, but I will be pretty upset if it does happen. Pie has a huge amount of work to do on his plate discipline and basestealing. The earliest I want him given a shot to earn regular playing time is in 2007.
