    I sure couldn't figure out why you wanted to know his point change. Thought maybe you just wanted to see how much value he added.

    I have to admit, I was admiring your handiwork in Excel. Greatest computer program ever invented. I use it for just about everything.

    Which brings us back to the same question I asked before. Why is Colorado thinking about trading him when they have been attempting to trade for a CF all winter long? He's actually a pretty good fit in Colorado, and a lot like the good fit Pierre seemed to be when he was in Colorado.

    Santana goes from 542 to 675 Webb goes from 504 to 642 McCarthy goes from 107 to 156

    Stop the presses!!!!! Huh? Gomes is exempt? How do you come to that conclusion? Oops. Sorry, forgot about the 15 ab's in 2003 and 2004. :oops: Meh, I was hoping you knew something I didn't. I call for a new rule that less than 20 at bats in a season should not count as an exemption year. :D

    The bigger question that hasn't been answered for me is why Colorado would trade Taveras when they've been hunting for someone all winter long that can play CF.

    Dewan, in the Fielding Bible, said Taveras should have won the gold glove in 2005, and Taveras ranks near the top of most advanced metrics. I'm not saying I want him - far from it - if the Cubs trade for him, I'm selling all my tickets again this year - but defense is the one positive he brings. Which would then make perfect sense for Colorado to keep him, since they have the most spacious CF in the big leagues.

    Hahahahaha! Okay, it's become clearly obvious that Hendry doesn't like me, and he's going out of his way to get players that I don't like just to spite me. I may have to resort to reverse psychology.
  11. BigbadB
    I remember that now. That is funny. Wonder how that's working out? :D
  12. BigbadB
    That's my opinion, too. Washington basically slashed his trade value by not playing him last year and basically telling the world they want him gone.

    Off topic, thought this was pretty hilarious from Rotoworld: Free agent Toby Hall isn't interested in returning to the Devil Rays on a minor league contract. "That was funny," Hall said. "I guess it would be a minor league contract because they're a minor league team." Way to burn those bridges, Toby. The club gave you more than 2,000 at-bats even though you never once managed a 700 OPS. Your OBP for the club was under .300, and you never came close to matching the 19 homers you hit at Triple-A Durham in 2001. If the Rays weren't much more than a minor league team during your tenure, well, it's in part because you weren't much more than a minor league player. Source: St. Petersburg Times :D

    Cubs payroll. :D

    Wonder what kind of relationship Piniella and Rothschild will have regarding the pitching staff?
  16. BigbadB
    Maybe not gospel, but there is this quote: It's possible they are using Pie to lower the demands on Church and maybe a few other choice CFers that might be available if the price comes down. I hope so, and I'm actually a big fan of Pie's.

    An assistant that is well versed on stats would go a long way towards moving this club into the new millenium. Looking up and down the major league and minor league rosters, Hendry gives me the impression he's anti-stats. That may not be the case, but the list of available players he's acquired (except Murton) over the years sure looks like it.
  18. BigbadB
    Yeah, we fixed that problem. :D Okay, back on topic. Going back to my post where I quoted all the Rotoworld excepts on Ryan Church since December, what would be a fair offer for Ryan Church, and is he worth what it would cost? And finally, will Washington continue playing hardball, or will their demands come down the longer he isn't traded. (Using what Bruce Miles has heard through the grapevine as gospel that they are asking for the moon).

    The problem is that the infighting amongst posters chases off other posters. And I'm not singling you out. You didn't even start this particular one, but you did pile on. If you go back to one of my other posts, I directed this at everyone, including myself. It just needs to stop. It will never completely stop, but I'm here to attempt to keep it under control.
  20. BigbadB
    Yes, he does have more credibility than you or I. I don't disagree. I don't see how that has anything to do with anything.
  21. BigbadB
    Am I totally misunderstanding you quote below? Ah, finally some sanity.
  22. BigbadB
    Do you mean other than what Bruce "thinks"? Ah, so now Bruce's credibility and knowledge of the inner-workings of these matters is on par with yours and mine? I'm sorry. Do you mean other than what Bruce has "heard". I don't know where you are attempting to go with this, but I have no disrespect for Bruce Miles, and I appreciate that he provides incite to our message board. Are you trying to insinuate something? Because it really just needs to stop. It has nothing to do with the topic.
  23. BigbadB
    Why am I calling you out? I wouldn't think I'd have to explain it. Why are all of your opinions gospel, and anyone who thinks Schmidt should have signed with the Cubs crap? It's a little "holier than thou", don't ya think? Why are you sitting there judging what is or isn't appropriate for this message board. It isn't your place. And if you think I'm singling you out, I'm not. This is for anyone who critique other posters. I suppose I am guilty of that myself occasionally. I don't claim to be the model poster. But, we all need to work on spending more time debating the topic rather than insulting the poster. Simple as that.

  25. BigbadB
    You are also welcome to ignore the threads that posters aren't saying the exact thing you would want them to say, which is basically what you are saying.
