    AL LF - .275/.335/.426 AL RF - .288/.359/.465 NL LF - .278/.358/.478 NL RF - .275/.344/.442 Murton's PECOTA projection for next season - .295/.359/.462, and he had +11 defense in LF in 2006. Murton is league-average or better right now. Oh, and Byrd's projection playing in a better hitters park? .275/.331/.429

    Willits is a supercharged version of Fuld. He's likely to be a little less valuable than Pie, but on the off chance that Pie completely tanks, I wouldn't mind having him around. The problem would be Lou wanting to play him too much, I would think.

    Hey Meph, do you need/want the Shandler projections?
  4. Rob
    Aramis probably reported to Angels camp after that rumor went up on mlbtraderumors.com

    Yup, in 2001, he was the Diamondbacks top prospect according to BA That must have been a pathetic farm system at the time when you look at what Cintron put up in 2000 in the minors... 2000 numbers: .301/.338/.404/.742 That is your #1 prospect in 01? Yeesh. I recall Meph saying something in a previous thread where Cintron was brought up about Cintron being considered the next Derek Jeter at one point. Ha! .317/.359/.489 over 487 PA in 2003. Cintron at least has the tools to put up a decent line... which is something. We could catch lightning in a bottle. Yeah but the last time he really played it was .273 .298 .415 Very icky. And very......Hendry-ish, if I may say so. How many guys come through here who have basically the same OBP as their AVG? FTH with that crap? Yeah, not debating that he sucks. But I'm just arguing that the potential is there.

    Ooooohhhhhh, good point. I never really considered Kosuke a rookie, but technicalities are technicalities. May the best man win! If Pie had just a little bit less service time, this could have been really interesting...

    Cintron = Izturis boy here's a debate I want to see! let's just say Cintron=Nefie. anyway you slice it he sucks. Neifi is the single worst hitter to garner this many ML PA in history. Cintron isn't nearly that bad.

    Yo momma likes to keep it civil, beeyotch. :yahoo: of levity>

    He bats righty, doesn't steal bases anymore, and plays below-average defense. If you're lucky, Hendry will stumble on him as a platoon partner for Pie. But Hendry wont view him as a replacement.
  12. Rob
    I don't believe the Cubs can trade Cintron until June..although this may not apply to minor league contracts.....??? I don't think that rule applies to minor league deals, I'm not sure though. Anyone know for certain? I seem to recall us trading Tomas Perez at the end of ST the other year on a similar contract... didn't we?
  13. Rob
    This was also said earlier in that thread by good poster: I can't believe I forgot about Willitis when we were talking about what we could get from LAA in a potential Marquis deal. I would definately be on board, he's a great fallback option if Pie struggles. http://brewersfandemonium.yuku.com/topic/10889/t/Cubs-sign-Alex-Cintron----foreshadow--trade--Brian-Roberts.html I really don't know what to make of Willits... Despite the difference in their OBP, PECOTA thinks Pie is a better hitter right now... and there's no question Pie's defense is better.
  14. Rob
    It's more important that we get a SS, SP and even an improved backup C. CF is a position where we should be willing to see what Pie can do. That's only looking particularly risky now because Hendry hasn't done a wonderful job of fixing the rest of the holes.

    I don't think you read my post the way I intended it to be read, because there are very few guys in that list that fit the description of what I'm talking about. All the guys outside of the very earliest rounds you can scratch, and in some cases you're listing guys who weren't regarded that way but we just lower round success stories. And Khalil Greene? He won the Golden Spikes Award the year he was drafted, he doesn't fit at all to the kind of Russ Adams/Cliff Pennington utility scrapper overdraft types I'm talking about. Oh, like our own Darwin Barney?

    I'll admit Levine seems to be doing better the last season or two, but he'd built himself a well-deserved reputation as a joke before that. Perhaps people come down on him a bit harder than they should now, but you can't expect their opinions to change in such a short amount of time. If he keeps up the good work, it probably wont be an issue in a couple more years. Welcome to the board, though.
  17. Rob
    Do statistics only apply up to the point where you still understand their function? I ask because you keep trying to use objective analysis, and start out with the stats... but your method quickly diverges to pointless rhetoric and opinion.

    The Yankees were not trying to cost Pavano money, they simply wanted to clear his roster spot and wash their hands of this disaster. Pavano's reason for not accepting this (according to his agent) was that accepting the minor league deal would affect his MLB service time and thereby cost him some of his pension! I find this laughable am thankful that Carla Pavana will be pitching elsewhere next season. That's a legitimate claim. He is entitled to that pension fund. Did the Yankees offer to cover the difference?

    I'm talking about so that you don't see them. For instance, there are threads in social with 5 billion posts in them that I couldn't care less about. I'd think that, like other forums, there would be something you can click to make it not visible. It might even save bandwidth, and in turn, money. That seems like it would hurt bandwidth, or at least slow us down. Forcing the board software to analyze each individual thread to see which one it should or shouldn't show depending on which person made the request..

    I don't want to be part of any organization with judgement so bad that they would have me, and yet, here we are...
  21. Rob
    Do you ever stop espousing archaic and disproven philosophies? Oh, and please stop pretending hypothetical examples are a substitute for logic.
  22. Rob
    The fact of the matter is that your opinion has less basis in reality than the facts that people here are using to refute your opinion. If that doesn't bother you, you should probably be a politician, not a message board poster.

    Bah, I only held things up six hours.

    The way I see it, Samardzija is such a unique case that we'd be doing a disservice to ourselves to try to put him on a schedule right away. Besides, nobody really thinks of him as a prospect... he's more of a pet project of Hendry and Wilken.
