    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.
  8. 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.

    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.

    25 pitches or so, but no damage.
  12. Rob
    Huge.

    An ignominious start...
  14. Rob
    You're forcing that one a bit.

    a winnar iz u.

    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.

    He's a left-handed Murton... minus a touch of BA but plus a few walks.

    Geovany Soto

    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.
  19. Rob
    Yeah... congrats. Your act got old inside of 20 posts. That makes you only the 2nd person I've ever bothered to put on ignore.

    Geovany Soto

    Rob replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    Not really, an above average backup catcher probably would have been the best position player the cubs have developed in the last 20 years.

    ](*,) sadly, given lou's a.d.d. managing, it wouldn't surprise me if this happened. Come on, he wasn't even finding the strike zone and every guy was hitting him hard. Throw the Brewers out against him and the Cubs get destroyed. If Marquis or Marshall looks strong the next few starts, I would put Lieber in over Hill. Lilly didn't come anywhere near the zone in his last start. Should Lieber be replacing him? Let's be serious. Z, Lilly, and Hill are our best pitchers. Getting rid of any of those three would be asinine.

    Not according to Baseball America. But Heyward has a ceiling that Schafer couldn't even come close to.

    It's a two horse race between Miguel Cabrera and David Wright to me... Oh, and in case people are forgetting... Miguel Cabrera, born April 18th, 1983. David Wright, born December 20th, 1982. Cabrera has been around forever, but is still a week away from turning 25.

    I just got this exact error not 30 seconds ago.
  25. Rob
    How much longer until the job is Cedeno's?
