    Hey, guess what player ranked immediately behind Murton in GB/FB ratio last year in all the NL? Jacque Jones. I guess he becomes a light hitting OF too... since your only qualification for that seems to be that he "can't hit past the infield." And his arm is too inaccurate to be a RF and his range is too poor to be a CF. That pretty much means he can't play anything else besides LF. Just ask any Twins scout. :roll: Did I say anything about Jacque Jones dickwad? Jones at least has some HR power and is better defensively in RF. He can actually get to the balls and catch them. yea, his arm Sox. If it was up to me, I'd get another RF. But Murton isn't the answer. Yes, you did; The uncalled for slavery comments.

Just ask any Twins scout. :roll: This argument would play a lot better if Jacque didn't hit around 25 HR a year, and play RF almost exclusively his last two years in Minnesota. Every scout says that if Murton decides to add some loft to his swing he's gonna be good for 30 dingers a year. And I don't think anybody here would argue Murton is a RF just because that's where he's gonna play with Soriano in left for the next 8 years. Playing RF doesn't necessarily make you a legitimate RF... Jacque's arm was just better than Shannon Stewart's...

    It's a freaking error. Everybody has them. Shameless? The only thing shameless is your blatant selective perception.
  5. Rob
    THANK YOU. Holy... You mean, there's actually another person on this board that realizes Soriano playing out of position isn't helping the team?

    Unless he's Bonds, being big doesn't make taking a baseball off the back of the head any easier. I didn't complain that much when I was hit with a bat. hard to complain when you're unconcious A magician never reveals his secrets. For fear of being banned by the alliance? If that happens I'll just have to make an album with Franklin. Either that or take part in a series of escalating dares and get married to Amy Poehler. Plus there's always GOBIAS, Inc I just spent all of March rewatching my Arrested Development DVDs... but I'm getting a real urge to start back over with Season one later today.

    That error hurts. Once again, I find myself wondering what possible reason Lou has for playing our LF in RF, and a person whose skillset matches that of a RF in LF.

    That's a pretty big guy to be hurting so bad from taking a foul off the noggin.

    On the plus side of things, my fantasy team's offense is looking pretty good. Adam Dunn along has more HR and RBI than my opponent's entire team this week. And despite the fact I'm batting .215 to their .298, I'm still beating them .330 to .328 on OBP.

    I am a Murton backer and I'm right here. here I already made a smartass comment on the last page, but I'll join in here too. Here.

    Have you ever had a measured reaction to anything? They called up Pagan because they assume he will hit LHP because he is a switch hitter yet was horrible vs. lefties last season. Again I say, this organization is a complete joke. I'll take that as a no. Please, inform me and my un-measured reaction, why calling up Pagan is a good move? He hits LHP no better than Pie, and is fraction of the defensive player that Pie is. If Pagan hit LHP well than I could see it. The key to the move is sending Pie back to AAA to play everyday. Pagan is far from ideal. But Pie had to get off the bench. Of course. There is no reason to have the Cubs best prospect sitting on the bench when he needs to be getting regular at bats. He was clearly overmatched at the plate at the major league level so starting him regularly would have hurt the team. Pagan is going to be a part time player and like you said, he has hit LHP pretty well in AAA this year. It's the right move to make. I don't think you can say Pie was "clearly overmatched" when the only thing clear was that he wasn't getting enough PA to get going.

    but, but he's carlos beltran jr.! And has beaten Jose Reyes in a footrace.
  19. Rob
    I'm on board, just so long as Pagan is used in the same role Pie was, and not really any more than that.

    Actually, I expected myself to swear in my first reaction. I'm so proud of past-Rob's restraint.

    http://www.peeyourpantsforthebrewers.com/ As of right now, 199 people have pledged to pee their pants when the Brewers make the playoffs. It's gross, and just the sort of thing I think all of you will enjoy mocking and/or one-upping.

    It's possible to win with a minimal payroll on a consistent basis only if your GM makes better moves than those GMs with larger payrolls. You think the small or mid market payrolls inherited by Billy Beane, Mark Shapiro, and John Schuerholz don't have an impact on their performance? All of them have been forced to exploit the weaknesses of their fellow GMs in order not only to survive, but to thrive. Small payrolls make you an underdog. Larger payrolls are expected to produce results more consistently than small ones. Period.

    How did you think Jeff Weaver was going to pitch this season? I was completely wrong on that. I will always have that Weaver fan in me. I think they have a surgery for that... Lobotomy? Appendectomy. When he's crawling around in there he always ends up clinging onto the useless organ... I can't imagine why.

    You chose the wrong Ortiz. I have Russ Ortiz as my second pitcher, and he has positive 19. I have Podsednik on my team as well, along with Lew Ford (both zero points). If not for those two black holes I might be in the top 10 nationally. I debated going with Russ, but I figured (correctly) that Lincecum would force him out pretty fast. The Twins on the other hand have a nasty habit of making the same mistake til the trade deadline. I probably should have gone with Ponson.
