Gammons with some bad news for us...
-
It happened in San Francisco.
-
Astonishing.
-
I think he was just placing the two lineups side-by-side.
-
Oh lord. Dude just knows how to win.
-
Found your problem. Maybe you could start liking a better team?
-
He's satirically criticizing the people who feel this way about Patterson.

Hendry extended through 2008
Geech replied to srbin84's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
That is actually not what he wrote at all: -
Robespierre is probably one of the more famous figures from the French Revolution, but whatever.
-
It's not really that obscure.
-
Where do you get that impression?
-
Pie for Kendrick?
Geech replied to NorthsideAvenger's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
That's preposterous. Pie isn't even that good of a prospect. -
Man, he just hasn't been able to stick with a ball club. He must have a bad attitude.
-
It looks like he's right. Claiming Soriano is a marginal improvement over Todd is completely wrong; Todd is actually a marginal improvement over Soriano.

I'd rather have Wilkerson than Pierre in CF any day, but you don't deal your top position player prospect for a 29 year old OF coming off a down year who's about to hit FA (with injury concerns). I don't think Wilkerson's concerns are necessarily greater than Pie's concerns. If Pie doesn't improve his discipline -- and it's extremely doubtful that he will -- he may not ever manage to be a real impact bat. His number one PECOTA comparable is still Corey Patterson.
-
Yeah, Cox deactivated my webspace for some reason.
-
The next one is in 2009 and then every four years after that.
-
I might be willing to do Pie for Wilkerson straight up, myself. Pie isn't even that great of a prospect, he's just a big fish in a small pond.
-
It's hard to be positive when my margins are warped by huge avatars.
-
It turns out Glendon's nickname is '[expletive]'. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=4886
-
No, probably not.
-
You seem to be stuck on what are essentially irrelevant stats. RBI and Runs Scored are virtually useless in determining an individual hitter's actual value. Those stats are the only ones that make Soriano look clearly more productive than Wilkerson, and certainly the only way that Andruw Jones could be called the best offensive OF in the NL.
-
It's not like Wilkerson can't slug. He may not hit as many homers as Soriano, but his combination of OBP and power make him a more complete, and better, hitter. As far as the lineup is concerned, a better idea is to get the best players available at each position and then worry about where to hit them. Trying to find prototypical hitters is a bad strategy.
-
It's not like it's a great trade even if Soriano would change positions. Soriano is far from a lock to outproduce Wilkerson offensively, and it's extremely unlikely that he could match him defensively in the outfield.
-
Nixon to the Cubs?
Geech replied to Blizzau's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Murton's power or lack thereof may indeed be the difference between a good corner OF and merely average, but I think that's a somewhat different discussion.
