    Zambrano should hit 6th. Actually, Zambrano is literally the 3rd most likely to hit a HR today in the lineup.

    Wait, what happened after the run scoring play? I was out of the rroom Campana tried to make a diving catch, missed. Fukudome picked it up and in the attempt to throw the ball home, it bounced about 4 feet in front of him and rolled into the IF.

    These throws are hilarious!

    Seriously Campana? Would have been a great catch, but bastard should have made it.
  5. rawaction
    Wonderful throw.
  6. rawaction
    HAHAHA. Why do you dive for that ball? Knock it down and he's at 1st.

    Uh, best case for Borbon is Michael Bourn. Michael Bourn is barely Juan Pierre in his prime. The day the Cubs put out a lineup with Fukudome, Borbon, Castro, Barney, Koyie Hill, and LeMahieu in it....I quit.

    All those guys are old and mediocre.

    Laich re-signed with Washington and got paid a lot of money.

    Seems like a Bulls type of pick. Profiles as a good defender with some midrange game. Hopefully he turns out better than Johnson and can give Deng a breather in the near future.

    Who?

    What about Tyler Honeycutt here?
  13. rawaction
    Got it. Works for me. Nothing wrong with this deal at all. Don't know much about the pick, but if he has as much potential as people think and the Bulls were going to stash a Euro anyway, can't get much better than this. Giving up 43 is of no consequence.

    Didn't the Wolves just pick at 23? That's who we traded with to get 23. But it wasn't even their pick, it was Houston's? So, did HOuston trade with Minnesota, who then traded with the Bulls? NO mention of that on TV.

    What's so bad about Marshon Brooks? His major problems are that he's a "me first" type of player. But I don't think that's a big deal with a PG like Rose and a strong coach like Thibs. He's a pure scorer, great finisher, and a pretty good rebounder at the 2G position. Reminds me of Nick Young who took a few years and an unstructured offense to finally shine this year. But I think if he's there at 28, you have to take a shot on him and hope you can get the round peg in the square hole.

    Only ones that even look close to alike are Maggette and Xzibit, and that's because they are smiling the same.

    I was hoping Quade would hit for Fukudome. Not because I think LeMahieu or Montanez had a better chance, just because I didn't want the fun to end.
  19. rawaction
    Why couldn't that table saw cut off his whole arm?
  20. rawaction
    Koyie Hill. :banghead:
  21. rawaction
    Soriano stole a base?
  22. rawaction
    Castro is hitting .418 over the last 2 weeks. After the walk, .418/.467/.685 line since he got a day off on June 8th.

    BJ is an interesting case. He's not your typical toolsy guy ala Corey Patterson. His walk rate is beyond acceptable. His defense is excellent. He can steal a base with good efficiency. He has a 20 HR season under his belt. A 40 SB season. He was even able to hit for average in his 1st 2 full seasons when he hit .285 in his first 1000 ABS. Guys who breakout that strong usually have very productive careers. He pretty much does everything well on the baseball field, but putting the ball into play consistently. I won't go as far as to say a change of scenery will turn him around, but he plays in one of the worst 5 hitters parks in baseball. I'd love him on the Cubs. The only problem I see is that he's almost due for a big pay day and hasn't played like he deserves it recently. Still, he does enough as a player to be above average. Hopefully, he can take that next step to being great.

    I think that is a very good point. The top run scoring lineups (other than the Yankees and Red Sox) don't have a lot of great offensive players. They typically have 1 great bat and the rest of the team is filled out with minimal bad hitters getting tons of ABs. Cincy has Votto as the great bat, with Jay Bruce having an argument...but none of the other guys with over 125 ABs have lower than a .722 OPS. And the guys with the .722 OPS for the Reds are Rolen and Phillips who are outstanding defensive players. Arizona is up there in runs scored. They have Upton as the great bat, with only Kelly Johnson of the regulars under .730 OPS. I'd like Vitters to be an .850 OPS type player at any of the corners of the IF or OF. But if all he's going to be a is a .750 OPS guy, then they key is to have 5-6 regulars that are better hitters than he is, and 1-2 others who aren't significantly worse than that. I could see him being like a Martin Prado or a Hunter Pence with a little less power. I'd be fine with that.

    As a Cubs fan I know you're not used to see it...but apparently there is NOT a rule that you have to swing at every pitch. I know. Just heard of that myself. The Yankees don't swing at every pitch, thus they play long games.
