    Tidbits on yesterday's practice: http://bears.scout.com/2/552684.html Lesser tidbits are that Currie is still injured and has a good chance of not making the team. Chris Harris has been dropping interceptions. Mods, is this a better format? Please advise.

    I have a good sized manchrush on Barrett and have been pimping him ever chance I get. He is having an unbelivable season this year.

    If Mad Dog throws a no hitter in his first game out of a Cubs uniform, I think I will go into a coma.

    Sexy Rexy is on the front page of ESPN.com.

    I can do both those things. I'll play for 4/17.
  6. Chocolate Milk
    Indeed. When your right, your right.

    The Plan: Step 1: Acquire slappy hitting middle infielders Step 2: ??? Step 3: Win World Series!
  8. Chocolate Milk
    Barrett's OPS is up to 957.

    It it wasn't for Isturis' solid D, we'd be out of this game.

    Agreed. Please post snippets or summaries of the articles only. Will do in the future. I didn't remember that rule. My apologies.

    I don't know if anyone is reading these but I'll continue to post them until someone tells me to stop. http://bears.scout.com/2/552384.html

    This is an odd little thread.

    How many teams have the worst-hitting middle infield in baseball? Once again, we don't have the worst hitting middle infield in baseball-at least not this year. Check out the A's-Ellis and Crosby are worse. Really? Crosby: -5.3 VORP Ellis: -7.5 VORP Cedeno: -10.8 VORP Neifi: -5.7 VORP Izturis: -4.4 VORP

    I heard that Benson is supposed to practice today.

    Ashley is trash. I'd rather have a non-starting TJ than Ashley.

    Sounds precautionary. I hope.

    Well, if we're judging defense by purely subjective measures, wouldn't you agree that it would be difficult to judge it's effect? I could say that the Cubs have the best defense in MLB. How would you refute that? By saying "Nuh uh?" We need to focus on concrete known issues like our lack of OBP and SLG. Izturis doesn't provide any of these things. That's why it's a bad trade. So basically you just said if you can't measure it, it's not worth anything? Are you being deliberately obtuse? It's not up to me to prove that defense has no impact, it's up to you to prove that it does. Other than making up some stuff about Izturis saving 40 runs a year, you haven't proven much.

    Crede is more then just good. He's one of the best 3rd basemen in the league. Uribe and Iguchi are more then just okay up the middle. They are one of the best up the middle combos in the league. Roward is a very good CF and Dye is Good at right. AJ is a above average catcher and PK at first has vastly improved his D the last couple of years. What is this based on?

    Tell that to the White Sox who won a WS on Pitching and Defense. Their team BA was .262 with a .322 OBP and yet they managed to win a WS. they hit a crapload of homers. True..but they had 200 HR to our 194. They had a .262 AVG with a .322 OPB while we had a .270 AVG with a .324 OBP. So what was the difference between the two teams offensively? The difference must be in the clutch hitting because defense means very, very, very little. Yeah, that or exceptional pitching. I'll go with the pitching myself. You don't think that the defense had anything to do with that? I don't think it had much to do with it, no. How's our good defense working out with our pitching this year? I'd question the people that say we have one of the top 10 defenses-only because I can't think of one player on the roster who has played most everyday who I can call good defensively, and there are more people who are below average or average than below average. People have been calling out the outfield defense all year as average to below average, and the infield defense without Lee is not exactly stellar. That should tell you how subjective defense is. Agreed, but if we have a good defense as you said, where is it coming from? What players are good defenders to create this good defense? If the defense has preformed well and you can't tell who the good defensive players are, what does that tell you about defense?
