Suntimes: Cubs seek righty bat
Jazz replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
i would argue that you need a CAT scan. To say connect offensive production to the position a player plays deciding what he should be able to do is not only stupid, it's downright a complete logical nightmare. Im going to say this one time and only one time: "OFFENSE AND DEFENSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. TO CONNECT THEM IS TO BE STUPID." You get the best hitter you can get at the position and that's the answer for EVERY position. Whether the offense comes from SLG or OBP makes no difference. 1. calm down with the insulting posts. Not making friends quickly that way. 2. The idea that you connect offensive production to the position a player plays is largely because of the fact the kind of defensive player you are as far as physical tools usually impact the kind of offensive player you are. For example, shortstop is not really a position loaded with power players (only 6 players with SLG % near or over .475). Since it is more likely that you are one of the other 26 teams with light hitting SS's, youre going to want them to be OBP machines, or base running specialists that can field at an above average or better level. There's a reason that Miguel Cabrera came up as a shortstop only to be switched to 3B (generally a power hitting position) -
Marshall and Jones for Griffey? Assuming we can get them to bite that Marshall is a hugely valuable young pitcher with some upside, and tell them that to offset Jr.'s salay, they have to take JJ, i think we have a good deal here. hopefully by the time of this deal, angel is ready to come back. Then you stick him at the back of the rotation. Soriano Theriot/Fontenot Lee Ramirez Griffey Jr. Derosa Floyd/Pie Soto

Truth be told, I'd rather Griffey. 1st off, hes a rental no doubt if we aquire Dunn. Were gonna have enough trouble signing Z. 2ndly, Dunn in right would be a disaster, and I like keeping Sori in left. You can stick Griffey anywhere. 3rdly, I like Griffey's line of 291 .391 .575 over Dunn's line of .259 .349 .549. With valentin, this lineup would be unbelievably good at scoring runs. Soriano Lee Ramirez Griffey Jr. Floyd Derosa Fontenot/Theriot Valentin Run-a-palooza.

Z is as loveable as it gets really. So I would take that bet.

3-way trade proposal
Jazz replied to Backtobanks's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
if you want Salty, your going to need to trade a valuable young pitcher. Salty for Hill and Murton would be the deal. I'd probably do it. -
Marshall does not deserve it over Z. Marshall is better skill wise and stat wise hah, you must be out of your mind...do you really think marshall has better skills than Z? Marshall is way more consistent and and has way more control, something z seemingly can't buy Marshall has been in the majors for about a year-4/5 of a season last year, and 1/5 of a season this year. Only the 1/5 of the season this year has been good-I'm not sure how you can call him consistent yet. Z is the only pitcher in the major leagues to be in the top 15 of ERA every year for the last 4-how much more consistent can you get than that? With the way he's pitching lately, he could make it 5 in a row. i didn't say marshall was consistent i said he's more consistent than z And like I said, Z has been one of the most consistent pitchers in the major leagues the last 4 years. He gives you almost the same production every single year. except this one i suppose No, not except this one. Z has had 1 bad month, 1 shaky month, and 1 month were he was one of the best pitchers in baseball. And since his best month was the most recent one, you would be led to believe hes figured it out, and will return to being a top 5 pitcher in baseball. what are you smoking man, or are you just looking for an argument that you are clearly wrong on?
-
this is so incredibly lame of the MLB if true. We better hope Z REALLY loves the cubs (as it seems he does) and is patient with us to allow the sale to go through so we can sign him.

Narron fired as Reds manager
Jazz replied to Roast's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I wouldn't think to hard about it since it probably won't happen, but I could see Lee getting booted off since he was the player vote. -
Source? no source, just speculation. Top 3 NL home run hitters, and I figure Bonds would get an invite because of being a hometown player. those are at least how I expect them to be selected, id guess maybe bonds and griffey could drop out. I could also see howard getting an invite to defend his title (and he is #5 in the NL in HR)
-
it's gonna be fielder, dunn, griffey jr, and bonds
-
The problem being can a trade even happen with the current situation? You've found the problem.... and there's no way to improve this team without taking on additional salary or getting some player that wasn't really wanted and he gets hot after being traded. (Assuming no one else surprises us from the minors) well murton could come up, and maybe get it back together. If (hopefully when) we get rid of Izturis and Jones, we can bring up Cedeno since hes been tearing up AAA pitching. Soto might be able to contribute, and we might even see EPatt in september.

For obvious reasons, most of my time on here is spent on the nsbb forums, and rarely on the main page. One thing that I think could help this site with their frontpage content is to make it a blog. A few updates a day from designated bloggers would be really cool in my opinion. Per example, the technology website http://www.engadget.com. I really like the design of their blog, and I think we could benefit from having a similar setup. RSS Feeds, etc.. would also be cool additions.

in 2-3 years youd be sinking 90 mil+ per year into your starting rotation. The rules of this game required that contracts were out of the question though, right? i always seem to overlook these things.

I think one thing that hasn't been brought up about the wild card is the nature of the teams in front of us. Right now, we are behind: San Diego - 6.0 Arizona - 6.0 Los Angeles - 5.5 Philadelphia - 2.0 Atlanta - 2.0 SD plays 32 of its games against the above teams ARI plays 35 of its games against the above teams (including 6 vs. us) LA plays 32 of its games against the above teams (including 4 vs. us) PHI plays 26 of its games against the above teams (including 4 vs. us) ATL plays 22 of its games against the above teams we only 14 games against all the other teams in the wild card race. Which means that it leaves alot of points in the season were everyone else is beating up on each other, and we get to play celler dwellers (61 games with teams below .500, but that can all change. regardless, we have a nice schedule for the stretch run). Also of note is that 3 of the top teams in the WC race are in the race for the western division, so that means that we only are really competing with 4 other teams (as it stands now, unless you include colorado).
