    Lou, like Hendry, hates Cobs fans. It's a conspiracy.
  2. Geech
    Jim Hendry hates Cobs fans. True story.
  3. Geech
    That doesn't count as a clutch hit because no one was on base.

    So, what's a realistic trade involving Pie? It seems like the FA market is fairly thin outside of A-Rod, so this may actually provide more value to the team, but that's almost certainly going to require getting a very good player in return for Pie.
  5. Geech
    Pie and Fukudome are both most valuable as CFs. Unless we don't get good trade offers for Pie, I don't think it makes sense to stick him at a corner just to keep him.
  6. Geech
    I guess I don't find that a very persuasive argument. Ceteris paribus, I'd rather have someone who controls the strike zone than someone who steals bases. That doesn't really answer the question, though. What is Pie likely to do in the next six years and for what price compared to Fukudome? Pie has a combination of power and speed that bode well for his career, even in spite of his poor strike zone. And he has a history of producing fairly well in the minors, too. In Pie, we have someone who's likely to be a good player at a below market rate. In Fukudome we have someone who might be a very good player, I don't quite share the optimism over his transition, for a free agent price. And he's on the wrong side of thirty. Again, it's just not clear to me that this is the best use of resources.
  7. Geech
    Yeah, but BP sees Pie approaching EQAs in the mid-upper .280s in the next couple of years, and he can't be much worse defensively if at all. Is that an unrealistic assesment of Pie? If not, is Fukudome really an intelligent use of resources with Pie being essentially ready to for a ML shot?
  8. Geech
    L/R? He bats lefty.
  9. Geech
    Why do you say that?
  10. Geech
    Well, whether he's a lesser version of Grady Sizemore or a more successful Matt Murton, I'm not sure he's a good idea for the Cubs. At his age and probable price, I just don't see him being a good option unless we just absolutely believe we need him in center.
  11. Geech
    So... Perhaps a somewhat more successful Matt Murton?
  12. Geech
    ...cause he grounded out? This game is Serious Business.
  13. Geech
    Hatteberg has some crazy extreme home/away splits this season.
  14. Geech
    Actually, Keener, he struck out, which hurts the Cobs chances of scoring runs.
  15. Geech
    Yeah, but who knows what the hell he actually meant by it. People often use that stuff inappropriately. Looking back, I probably should have realized he was joking, though.
  16. Geech
    Or maybe the Reds are just good? LOL! Nope. The Reds are a mediocre run-scoring team before you even take their home park into account.
  17. Geech
    I hope Adam Dunn hits a homer tonight.
  18. Geech
    There has been no change in testing taking place this year to justify that. I don't think it makes any more sense than random variation.
  19. Geech
    Nothing against kendall leading off, but why not Theriot? Kendall hits into an awful lot of double plays. It's not a bad idea to lead him off just so he's less likely to hit with runners on.
  20. Geech
    An expert opinion.
  21. Geech
    Don't bother. We should know better by now.
  22. Geech
    Why do you want an answer? It's a stupid, pointless question. You're not arguing but obfuscating at this point.
  23. Geech
    Man, your arguments are awful, Derwood.
  24. Geech
    I sure wouldn't.
  25. Geech
    I think the real question is whether he's ready defensively I suspect his defensive problems are overblown. Errors, and fielding percentage as a result, are virtually worthless statistics, and I'm not aware of any advanced fielding stats compiled for minor leagues. However, even if we assume that he does have defensive problems, wouldn't it be a good thing for him to have the opportunity to work with guys like Trammell?
