    Because he got people to talk about the Cubs possibly trading for Dunn? Takes a lot of skill to do that around here.
  2. 1908
    Will you shave one off if they sweep?
  3. 1908
    Who wouldn't? That 40 point difference in OBP suggests you wouldn't. Edited to shrink that quoting window down.
  4. 1908
    How many of them are 25 or younger with a .900 career OPS?
  5. 1908
    Didn't see this posted anywhere yet. Story Shoulder surgery, too. Not good. Edited to fix stupid hyperlink.
  6. 1908
    Doesn't look like it.

    Probably not. The Cubs would get some additional exposure in the Japanese press, but they're certainly a known commodity over there. I guess it couldn't hurt, but two out of the last three big name Japanese free agents have signed with teams that didn't have a player from Japan on their roster already, and Iguchi and Shingo didn't know each other at all before they were teammates this year.

    He also signed Estes, re-signed Alfonseca after a awful first year with the Cubs, and signed Remlinger to a terribly inflated contract. I tend to like his trades more than his free agent signings, though.
  9. 1908
    A bad month? He's hitting .271/.318/.359 this year.
  10. 1908
    The end of May? He hit .262/.292/.355 in June, which was worse than his April.
  11. 1908
    Few have said he wouldn't be an upgrade over Hairston. At issue is how much of an upgrade he'd be and what it would likely cost to get him.
  12. 1908
    Yeah, but how do you really feel, at this stage? Nothing makes a joke funnier than being really, really deliberate.
  13. 1908
    Nope. :wink:
  14. 1908
    Fixed.
  15. 1908
    By the way - those are all comments you could make about our current center fielder. Yep, and he doesn't cost us any prospects to keep.
  16. 1908
    Just peaked at my 2005 Prospect Handbook and that's confirmed.
  17. 1908
    Like I needed another reason to dismiss everything Skip Bayless writes. There's no way 3,000+ hits and 500+ homers won't get him into the HOF.
  18. 1908
    Agreed. His hurt his shoulder early in his Senior year and I don't think it's been right until recently.

    Welcome to the forum. In the future, please don't post entire copyrighted artilces on this board, especially those that require a paid subscription to read.

    Why? Williams is younger and has the higher ceiling. Sounds a bit like gamblers' logic to me. "I started out with $50, got it up to $500 and then lost it all, but I really only lost $50 because that's what I walked in with."

    He has a clause in his contract that makes him a free agent after this season. Yanks will do their best to keep him. He is a solid player that brings in many times the $ that it cost them to sign him since they sealed a Japanese cable contract after signing Matsui. I'm pretty sure overseas TV broadcasting rights belong to MLB as a whole. But I agree the Yankees will do their best to keep him and, more importantly, I think Hideki wants to stay.

    He has a clause in his contract that makes him a free agent after this season.
  23. 1908
    Isn't he from Curacao? Yep, which makes him eligible to play for the Netherlands.

    When he brings it to your door, does he say "Pepperoni, WOO! Hamburger, WOO!, Bread Sticks, WOO!" Hamburger? On pizza? Ick. But it'd expect nothing less on a pizza delivered by Ronnie.
