    I completely disagree. The Cubs greatest need is for a reliable lead-off hitter with outstanding small-ball skills. The Cubs do not need anymore power - they need people on base in front of that power. Pierre is a much better option in the outfield than Hairston IMO. Hairston should return to to splitting 2B duties with Walker in a lefty/righty split, or play the role of super-sub ousting Macias off the bench as a primary option. I don't think Walker should ever leave the lineup again.

    I'm actually the source. Just ask me anything. How many Dunn heads could you fit in a Kearns head?
  3. Chocolate Milk
    I do agree with that, meant to put that in my post. If he came cheap then I'll take him, but we shouldn't give up anything valuable. If they'd take Hairston straight up I'm in. Yes.

    And what about that head, it's freakin' huge - like a watermelon on a toothpick! Its like Sputnick....Spherical, but quite pointy in parts. He's like a bizzarro Dunn. Dunn's head looks like it's the size of an orange.

    No it isn't. He has 324 career stolen base attempts and 86 CS. Thats 74%. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=6550 I stand corrected. My math has always sucked...I apologize. I still don't want Pierre, though :P You don't have an adding machine right in front of you all day!

    Nice work, both of you.

    Good question. I was wondering the same thing. Where it comes to players like Nefi, everyone assumes (rightly) that they will return to their career norms. However, with Pierre, everyone points to his low OBP this year. I think it's accurate to assume he's be more likely to end this season acheiving his career average of .356 rather than continuing at .318. In terms of the Caugh Stealing, I have a question. I heard that the cutoff from where stealing hurts or helps is 70%. Pierre, for his career, is at 74%, which would be slightly above that cutoff. Pierre 2000: 7/13 53.8% 2001: 46/63 73.0% 2002: 47/59 79.6% 2003: 65/85 76.8% 2004: 45/69 65.2% 2005: 28/35 80.0% Is that right? 70% is the cutoff?

    http://www.vnn.vn/dataimages/original/images400908_yancancookvn1.jpg I will not beleive this trade until it is.....Dunn!
  11. Chocolate Milk
    If this happens, I will be a happy camper.
  12. Chocolate Milk
    Completely absurd. Edit: In a good way.
  13. Chocolate Milk
    I really hope he can turn this thing around.

    yes, you can totally know this after a whopping 150 big league plate appearances :roll: Well people already know that Gerut is gonna be a worse ML player than Dubois by the end of their career so why can't I know the opposite? Because it's different than how you feel? it's okay, dude - being a hypocrite is all right with me! I'm not judging the deal, I never did in my post. Learn what hypocracy means before you use it. I believe Dubois is AAAA player based on what I've seen. I have no idea what Gerut will be. What you quoted was me playing devils advocate. I have no idea whether gerut will be worse or better than Dubois. well, i certainly don't know what "hypocracy" is, but i do know what "hypocrisy" is. you are judging the trade, or it certainly appears so, by 1. calling dubois an AAAA player (when he hasn't even had over 200 PAs in the bigs, i believe it was 152 this year) and 2. attacking those who believe the deal isn't a good move while i agree that no strong opinions should be made about the deal until we see how each player does on their new team, my first impression is that this is a lateral move at best, and i don't see what the problem is with having an opinion at first. Do we have to rehash the 30+ page thread again in this one?

    That's all well and good but honestly, in the case of Wood and Prior (Who I'm assuming are included in the "injury prone" category people are refering to.), what was Hendry to do about that going into this year? Trade them? Pick up a bunch of starting pitchers in the event that they might get injured? Honestly, there wasn't much he could do about that one. In Nomar's case, yes that was a risk. He should be held responcible for that deal. I personally think Hendry has preformed well. He has made some outstanding trades. He has made some duds as well, but they really haven't been that signifigant. To say that he hasn't built a great team in 2.5 years is holding him to unreasonable expectations, IMO. He made a move that propelled the team to within 5 outs of the World Series a few years ago. That's quite signifigant. I have faith in him and I'd like to see what happens for 2 more seasons before I make a full evaluation regarding him.

    "It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife..." No, that's just bad luck, not irony. And where the heck would you find 10,000 spoons, except for at the spoon factory? And even in that case, who goes to a spoon factory looking for a knife? That's bad planning.

    Hrm, Adam Dunn you say?
  18. Chocolate Milk

    Juan Pierre = Neifi Perez Felix Pie = Ronny Cedeno Yeah....what?
  20. Chocolate Milk
    The Jays would laugh us out of town.
  21. Chocolate Milk
    I'd take him if the deal was right. He is better than people are giving him credit for here.
  22. Chocolate Milk
    The best. My favorite fan sign at a game was the one where they had a picture of The Fonz doing the double thumbs up and replaced his head with Farnsworth's. It said "The Farnz" at the top and had a bubble coming out of his mouth that said "Ey!" Awesome.

    Can some kind soul give us stuck at work the play by play of the freakout?
  24. Chocolate Milk
    I'm sad I'm missing this.
