    Murton wasn't called up, from what I hear, because Patterson is more fit to be a leadoff man and that is the glaring hole right now. More accurately, that is what the Cubs perceive as a glaring hole. In reality, it couldn't matter much less.

    No doubt it's a big move but it makes sense if Soriano keeps struggling to stay healthy in the OF. Soriano will have $112M and 6 years left on his contract after this season. You absolutely cannot let a player's body break down when you owe him that much money. We could get something pretty good for Lee, so it's not like Lee's production would just disappear if he were traded. DLee's contract runs out after 2010 (his age 34 season). I expect that we let him walk and move Sori to 1B at that point for the remainder of his contract (which runs through 2014).

    1.) The Carlos Lee for Scott Podsednik trade did not help the White Sox. 2.) The White Sox are no more real than the A's or the Orioles right now.

    Aramis Ramirez's PA/BB: 2005 - 14.46 2006 - 13.20 2007 - 12.98 2008 - 8.00 P/PA 2005 - 3.61 2006 - 3.71 2007 - 3.67 2008 - 4.18 Aramis seems to be making a concerted effort to improve his plate discipline. It should pay off eventually. Should we be crediting Perry for that?

    :cool: quit being a baby about me being a baby and just fix it baby Stop calling him "baby"... I'm getting a weird vibe from it.

    Z Lilly Hill Those three belong in the rotation. No questions asked. Beyond that, play the hot hand.

    About the chance that Scarlett Johansen will come to my door during the game and announce her undying love for me. Yeah. She's not leaving here anytime soon, so don't hold your breath.

    Good news: Soto seems to have passed up DeRosa in the lineup, which should get him a few extra PA this season. Every little bit helps. Judging from the fact that Cedeno is hitting in front of Theriot, Lou seems to realize that Cedeno is a better hittter. Bad news: Murton is in Iowa. That forces DeRosa to play right, which means we have 3 middle infield bats in our lineup (DeRosa, Cedeno, and Theriot). Lou has Theriot at SS instead of Cedeno... which means he still thinks Theriot is a SS, and not a 2B playing SS.

    You're right. The problem is that we know the probabilities involved, and Lou is playing against the odds. If it works, great... but that doesn't make the decision any smarter.

    Z's pickoff move is fast.
  15. Rob
    Damn.

    It's gonna be hard now that everybody actually bothers to pitch to him like a real hitter, instead of just lobbing some fastballs up there like they do against most pitchers.
  17. Rob
    To be fair, Joe Borchard does have a lot of raw power. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure he's blindfolded at the plate most of the time.
  18. Rob
    25 pitches or so, but no damage.
  19. Rob
    Huge.
  20. Rob
    An ignominious start...
  21. Rob
    You're forcing that one a bit.

    Now that's not entirely true. There is some value in having a low beta. It's just not terribly useful when that beta is applied towards sub-standard performance.
  24. Rob
    He's a left-handed Murton... minus a touch of BA but plus a few walks.

    Geovany Soto

    Rob replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    Soriano Fukudome Lee Ramirez Soto I don't really care who you put behind them (though I'd go DeRosa, Pie, Cedeno), you're gonna be hard pressed to find a top five that is better than that.
