    Piniella sure does talk a good game and i'm hoping that how he talks now will be a reflection on how well the team ends up performing.

    It would be ironic if both ARod and Soriano end up on the same team. I mean aren't these the 2 guys who were traded for each other in that blockbuster deal? hahaha, nice to dream isn't it?

    He wasn't that FAR OFF. I mean we had how many last year? 69 wins?

    I felt that poll was an absolute travesty of justice so i went ahead and fixed that... http://i4.tinypic.com/47v4gfq.jpg

    They're dead wrong!! It's Scott Eyre who's appeared in 163 games with the Cubs just last season alone. :wink:

    He's got something to prove.

    no team in all of baseball has a lock on health for their rotation. none. all teams are in the same boat regarding the unpredictability of how good the starters will be. at this point the cubs are no worse or better than any team. we just hope for the best health possible with what we have and barring that there is pretty good depth on the team now. and i know that no one wants to count on Prior as a lock for this year's rotation but i will go out on a limb here and predict that Mark will be back in form this year and will pitch around 200 innings this season.

    the pirates will be first in the central for about a week or so. after that its a 5-team race with no one being the favorite.

    I don't know why everyone is getting on Dempster's case so much about last season so. I mean 2006 was a bad year for most closers in general. Take Brad Lidge; coming into last season, all of us thought of him as an elite closer and we all know how his season turned out. Not to mention other good ones like Izzy, Foulke, Gagne, etc.

    I'm not really as concerned that we have one #1 and 4 #4's or something like that. what i think will benefit the cubs most is that we have people who will pitch a lot of innings and so keep our excellent bullpen fresh. the end result of that is that the cubs will be in contention in many ballgames in late innings and have a chance to rack up more wins.

    the more people you have to convince, the more time it takes to convince them, especially when it involves a lot of numbers with decimal points :)

    Never say never! especially with Florida's miniscule payroll. The chances of them being unable to keep Cabrera when he hits FA is pretty good i think.

    Was it Hendry?

    I totally find it funny that everyone in all of Cubdom has embraced the mantra of not counting on Prior anymore. If Mark ever read NSBB he would be would be working his butt off (and he probably is already) to prove that he is and will be a reliable and outstanding MLB pitcher for years to come.

    Everybody in the NL central always has a chance...unless you're from pittsburgh.

    If only he were the Ultimate Fighting Champion Barrett has a shot if he gives up baseball. He'll take on both Oswalt and AJ at the same time!
  18. 10man
    I'm not sure if Danks is MLB ready but the Sox'll have a better gauge after they see him in spring training.

    Quality? I am known for my sarcasm and exaggerating skills. Yeah. I believe the streaking KFC bucket gave you away.

    This is, quite possibly, the most useless and insignificant information I've ever seen in professional journalism. Agree with you 100%. I was reading the article when I got to that line and I'm thinking, "%@%##$$ does that have to do with anything?". But then I realized it was a Muskat article and everything became clear :)

    True, which makes the walk rate going up even more worrisome A sign of him being overworked? Much more likely than a sign of guaranteed health and dominance. And as far as Z = Maddux, how likely is it that Z becomes one of the top 5 pitchers of all time? Cause Maddux is right behind Clemens in my mind. I think the walk rate is a direct result of Z going for more strikeouts than being happy inducing ground balls. i.e. he's trying to throw more unhittable pitches than ones that can be put in play.

    IIRC, Prior still has 2 options left and he hasn't acquired the necessary service time to be able to refuse being optioned.

    I'll be shocked if Soriano isn't at least .340 next year. Shocked? Are you kidding me? Shocked? You'd be shocked if he had an OBP that wasn't higher than his OBP in every season but 2006? I'm shocked any reasonable person would think this way. There's no way a .335 OBP can be a surprise to anybody next season. He showed a huge jump in discipline last year, and will be hitting in a lineup with better players (Lee, Ramirez) behind him. Sosa's OBP jumped from .300 to .373 in a year when he learned how to control the plate, and it didn't go back under .350 until he got old. I'm betting that Soriano figured it out last year - I guess we'll see who's right. should we create a poll for this? Goony vs. Truffle? :D
