    Alex Rios saw 3.90 P/PA in 2006, and is at 3.71 in 2007. Cliff Floyd, 3.53 and 3.46 Jacque Jones, 3.65 and 3.64 Matt Murton, 3.71 and 3.71 Alex Rios sees more than enough pitches.

    I had similar speculation the other day when Barrett wasn't in the lineup. I made the crazy speculation that he was being traded to the Cardinals since Molina is out for some time. Last I heard, they were working on Jason LaRue.

    What does this have to do with Moises? I was thinking Carl Everett. Originally I went with Lenny Dykstra, but decided to drop retired people from consideration... and I think Crazy Carl is retired now, isn't he?

    Excellent article, though I hardly find that surprising coming from you, Bruce.

    Certainly Blanco's offense is terrible, but he's still a well-respected defensive catcher and really puts Barrett to shame in that department. The real problem isn't that we might have to play a defense-only catcher. Many teams do, and they win with it. It's just that the rest of our offense down in the order is so terrible it creates a black hole 7,8,9. I'm getting sick of watching Barrett throw games down the toilet so either he needs to get his head out of his ass or we need another catcher. If you think you're sick of Barrett making a boneheaded mistake every few games, wait until you get that sinking feeling in your chest when Blanco is coming up to bat in crucial situations... which is likely to happen much more often than Barrett getting picked off.

    While bringing up Hill over Soto is a braindead move, all will be forgiven if this is the end of Miller or Eyre on the Cubs.

    What makes me sick is that Gonzalez saw right through Benitez and decided to keep Gregg as the closer. We could've signed Gonzalez in the offseason, you know. We got Lou instead.

    A lot of people were pretty pissed when Colvin was taken, but I have yet to see the anti-Colvin bandwagon in the Minor League forum this year. count me in. I don't believe he'll be a productive major league ballplayer. I don't think he sees enough pitches to be more than a solid fourth outfielder.

    If memory serves, Burgess is expected to have pretty high contract demands. I don't expect him to fall to us in the supplemental round, but I wouldn't be shocked out of my pants.

    Why so cold on Moustakas? I wouldn't quite say I'm cold on him, as I'd be okay with him at #3, but he doesn't seem to have the upside of Heyward or the low risk of Wieters. While Vitters is the same way, I think he comes closer in the risk category than Moustakas.
  12. Rob
    Any of Wieters, Vitters, or Heyward would be fine by me... and I'd probably be able to live with Moustakas. I am really hesitant to grab an arm that early, though... unless Price slips, of course.

    I sure as hell hope not. The last thing the Cubs need is another oft-injured, over-the-hill pitcher who is miscast as anything other than a middle reliever at this point in his career.
  14. Rob
    Thank God. With Yeti passing word we should have been expecting a trade within 24 hours, Barrett sitting out yesterday, and the rumor of a "mystery team" in the bidding for Benitez, I was really bloody worried we were gonna do something stupid like trade Barrett for Benitez... at which point I would have mailed my first death threat.

    If we do a good job making it airtight, we'll know real quickly. You cant kill evil. :lol: :evil: yet we keep trying Not so much. I'm far too apathetic to bother with it... but I do delight in the opportunity to make acerbic comments.
  16. Rob
    Yeah, that DLee for Hee Seop Choi trade is really biting us in the ass right about now.

    I'm all for a fire sale, but if you trade all of those guys (the only one I can understand is Zambrano), then you're guaranteed of not winning anything for at least the next 10 years. Yeah, like it took the Marlins 10 years to win another World Series. Not that the firesale helped all that much. IIRC, the only thing they got in return during the first firesale that actually helped in 2003 was DLee.

    Age? Vitters may be younger, but he's also further from the bigleagues, probably by a couple of years. I'd say age is basically a wash. It wasn't really a question; I was just being a smartass.

    Freaking Insight communications wont be selling the EI package cause they don't want to have to carry that MLB Channel. :evil: I hate the thought of going to dish after I get a job, but I'm not gonna put up with this subpar crap. I should at least have the choice of whether or not I want to throw $150 their way.
  21. Rob
    Age?
  22. Rob
    Side note: I ordered a pizza an hour and 20 minutes ago, and it still hasn't shown up. I'm officially pissed.
  23. Rob
    DLee!!! That was a no doubter the second it came off the bat.
  24. Rob
    He was on my fantasy team. Of course he's doing badly.

    I've moved up to 40 with a 228 ESPN.
