    Soriano isn't guaranteed another at bat, but only one person needs to get on in the next two innings for him to get one.
  2. Rob
    I'm still not convinced Jim Bowden didn't hire Lenny Harris just to keep him close to the team so that he can be added to the 40 man roster in September for the pennant race.

    I understand why SD/Colorado would pass on him, given that he is, but nearly all accounts, a butcher in the field. But given that AL teams have been starting guys like Jay Gibbons, Mike Sweeney, Shea Hillenbrand, Mike Redmond and Jose Vidro -- many of whom are overpaid in addition to being unproductive -- how is it that no team thought to give a chance to a guy with a career .429 OBP and 943 OPS in the minors? He had only about 170 major league PAs, for God's sakes! The dangers of groupthink.

    Standard roto categories? I'd pull the trigger on that one. Gordon is looking like he'll end up getting a 3-4 week demotion at some point, and Theriot vs OCab is about a wash. Sheets is worth the risk on Gordon.
  5. Rob
    Jack Cust is just another data point to counter the argument that a player isn't big league caliber just because it seems every GM is passing on him.

    I caught a bit of the game on the radio on the way from the sis's graduation to the restaurant. The part I caught was the Jacque Jones double to bring in two, then getting gunned at the plate on the DeRosa single. Then I heard that Ohman was being brought in to the game... Did he blow it, or did someone else?

    :lol: Bring a radio... But graduations are really boring. I nearly fell asleep at my own. I've got my Delphi MyFi XM radio... but it doesn't get good reception inside. And I don't have any other thing I could use... I'll get to watch about half an hour, though.
  8. Rob
    I'm not gonna be able to watch most of the game. Stupid sister has to graduate... it's not like she even needs the MBA.

    But why would they need an excuse to do that? All four are better players than Encarnacion. Since when is Freel better than Encarnacion? Encarnacion was better last year than Freel has ever been. That's without even comparing their relative upsides and ages. Foolish move. And yet, it is completely expected from Narron and Krivsky. What do you want to bet the paint in Krivsky's office is lead-based?

    Who is this person?? The only person who ever seems to fit people's definition under this is Ivan Rodriguez. Pudge is only much of a hitter against lefties now. Against righties he's a 7 or 8 hitter. About the only relatively available catcher I can think of who's above average with both the glove and the bat is Greg Zaun in Toronto... and he's only above average with the glove by a slim margin. Mauer and McCann both fit the billing too, but they're gonna be in their respective organizations for a long time.

    It's a free ride when you've already paid.

    Lou really needs to cut the damn double switches out.
  13. Rob
    Oh man!!! ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)
  14. Rob
    Uh... he definately leaned into that one.
  15. Rob
    I don't know where he is, dickwad, but I do think Pagan is starting because Lou doesn't want Jones facing the lefty Hamels, plus Jones needs a couple days off. Awww, you're such a sweetheart. :lol:
  16. Rob
    Where's synergy tonight? I haven't been called a "dickwad" since yesterday.
  17. Rob
    Soriano opposite field dinger.
  18. Rob
    Did Hamels really try to pick off Murt three times in a row or is gameday buggered?
  19. Rob

    I've got Hamels and Hill throwing for the fantasy team tonight... If the final score is 1-0 and both pitchers go 9, striking people out at the same rate, I will be absolutely thrilled.
  21. Rob
    Nope. I don't get the game on TV. If you get CSN, you should get CSN+... they just do a really bad job telling you its provided.
  22. Rob
    It just occured to me I've had clothes in the dryer for a couple hours now. Probably should go get em... After Hill throws.
  23. Rob
    Soriano seriously has to swing and miss more than anybody else in baseball. I really don't know how when he makes contact, it always seems to come off the sweet spot... like that one.
  24. Rob
    What was awesome? Side note: While typing this the jackholes at insight fixed my cable, huzzah!
  25. Rob
    how were your finals? Craptastic. I'm just glad to be finished with them.
