    1. There is no such thing as a "leadoff man" and if there were, Soriano would not be the ideal one. 2. Soriano is right around the breakeven rate for stolen bases this year, meaning that he's contributed about zero runs when you consider how many times he's been caught stealing. 3. Murton could hit 30 dingers if he just added some loft to his swing; he has about as much raw power as anybody on the team. Just watch him during BP. 4. Both are above average fielders, range wise. Don't let your memory fool you.

    No, it's higher than zero percent. If Aramis tweaked something in Sept after the rosters expand and needed a day off, and DeRosa was out with something, I could see Moore getting a spot start.

    I love how one day, Murton isn't even good enough to be a big-league benchwarmer, and two weeks later, he's batting cleanup for us.

    Just looking at her, I doubt we'd need that much time. 8-) http://rotoauthority.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/dergan.jpg Tru that. Yeti's not first is he ;-). I better go last. I'm not about to contract anything new.

    If memory serves, he wanted to extend Pierre, but Pierre wasn't interested in staying... praise the lord.

    Floyd's contract for next year kicks in with 425 PA or 100 GS. He's only got 243 PA to this point, and it looks like he's started 58 games.
  7. Rob
    I suppose that depends on your definition of bat.

    But Murton's not going to play, and Stewart is a better option than Jacque Jones (assuming Pie takes over center field). Lou being stubborn about Murton doesn't make acquiring Stewart a good move, it makes firing Lou a good one. So you'd fire the 17th winningest manager in MLB history for a guy who has declined from last season? Don't get me wrong I really like Murt, but I don't see all the love people have for him based on his actual production. I'd much rather bash the Cubs for jerking around Pie. Perhaps I spoke a bit hastily. I didn't mean to imply the mismanagement of Murton is a fireable offense of its own. Combined with the rest of the screwups though, we really need to evaluate Lou's continued presence here. He certainly seems to be hurting more than he's helping at first glance.

    What's the point? Murton is a better version of Stewart.

    I'd still take any one of Ruth, Gehrig, Williams, Mays, or Aaron above him. Barry still isn't the best player of all time... He just one of the greatest, and happened to be the one playing during the era that made it more impressive.

    If it's gotten so bad you've stopped trying entirely, that's worse than a regular slump.

    I am gonna miss all those games on ESPN2 where I got to watch Cain and Lincecum pitch. They're really exciting young players.

    I love it, more DoPo love. We have seen that in a while. You'd be better off hoping the Cards hire DoPo. Hey, he was in Moneyball and is friends with Billy Beane. He has to be a great GM. http://danjulien.atspace.com/depo.htm It was written before this season, so you'll have to add in Brad Penny's Cy Young credentials this year before making a conclusion.

    Are you kidding me? Did you watch us let Dusty play out the string and then just not re-sign him? Yes sir, he got it bad.
  16. Rob
    Bill Bavasi still gives Krivsky a fight for the title. Rafael Soriano hasn't exactly lit the world on fire, but he's still been a lot more useful than Horacio Ramirez.
  17. Rob
    I love that we have 4 second basemen in the lineup instead of playing Murton. What a crock.
  18. Rob
    Baseball Between the Numbers, The Book, The Book on The Book, The Hidden Game of Baseball, and The Baseball Economist all sound like what you're looking for.

    So much for the Justin Upton, Chris Young, Carlos Gonzalez outfield that would have been so fearsome. It's officially time to snatch up Quentin.
  20. Rob
    That's about 15 more in your favour, Vance.
  21. Rob
    Maybe after you make an example out of Raisin...?
  22. Rob
    If it stays that low, Vance might as well book a ticket to Chicago now.
  23. Rob
    A lot of people want to name the place after HoopsCub, I see.
  24. Rob
    Your mom would. Oh, snap! :lol:
  25. Rob
    You pay for the plane and game tickets, and I'll buy the beers.
