Will you please leave. What did I do? What I said was true, as it stands the Cubs are better than last year. Sheesh. You gave him HOPE and that is a dangerous thing for any Cubs fan to have :lol: According to BP the Cubs finished about 6-7 wins less than they should have: http://www.baseballprospectus.com/statistics/standings.php PLUS they upgraded that team. Oh and the Cards finished well above what they should have. Oh great. Now the Cubs should finish with 10-15 wins less than they should have.

Well our offense pretty much looks the way the White Sox offense did last year. All we have to do is expect the same miracle they got which was a healthy starting rotation all year long.
Well we knew the Yanks would up the money and four years (though a bit much) is not terrible considering Boras was shouting 7 years. Damon should effectively solve the Yankee problem in CF for at least a couple years until his production tails off.
The "live ball" has probably had a similar effect to baseball as the shot clock has to the NBA. The resurgence of the home run hitters has brought more fans to baseball. I'm not going to comment on the quality of those additional fans, but they have come and with it has produced more revenue for the game.
Totally agree. I give Murton a better probability of being a successful long-term bigleaguer than say Corey or even Pie for the simple fact that Matt already has good plate discipline. Power is something that can be developed/grown into.
Hey that's what I said if the Cubs got Damon! :D Makes sense. If we got Damon, we'd definately want our outfield to be Pierre, Pie, Murton from left to right. So if we got Damon, he becomes the DH? :wink:
In this day and age you have to get used to multi-tasking. I'd recommend that you do your statistical regressions while having a game playing in the background. Might be a good idea to get a haircut too while you're at it.
