    Ok, now I recognized everyone except the second guy, 6 in white. Italy?

    I like to call Koyie Hill "Mr. October", since he hit .600 in October 2009.

    Yeah, I had no problem with doing it in the offseason as we did this year. Really, the only risk you run is that a draftee somehow makes the big league club within the same year, leaving his acquisition up to whoever grabs him in FA the fastest. But if a guy like Strasburg didn't even see a cup of coffee his first year, I'd say the chances of that are really slim.

    Jeter's not necessarily having a bad year, but he's nowhere near the top 5 overall. Heck, Cano might be the best player on the Yankees. Longoria, Halladay, Cliff Lee, Chase Utley, Justin Morneau, and Adam Wainwright all deserve consideration before Jeter, at least.

    I'd say yes, as it's a daily substitution.

    Today's lineup management was so bad, the guy working for 6 bucks an hour updating Gameday did better at it.

    Wait, there are seriously people looking to break out the "I told you so"s when they immediately and irrationally turned on Aramis after a small sample size?

    Shawon had a cannon.

    Distance running is more boring. At least with cycling there's always the possibility of a crash or a pedestrian getting run over by racers.

    So the only thing the Cubs needed to do to play better was face better teams? I can't wait to go 14-2 against St. Louis this year.
  11. bukie
    But he's from the Pirates, and Pirates all are terrible.

    Points-wise, either of the two Eastern Conference teams will be the worst team either of the West teams would have faced in the postseason. However, Philly should have been better than they were the whole second half of the season, which I'm sure injuries contributed to as well. Philly is a quality team, they just didn't play that way until the playoffs. Montreal, though, is just Cammalleri and Halak. If they somehow come back and sneak in the Cup Finals, it'll be a walkover.

    What a douche. His first line invalidates his whole opinion. He's lived in Chicago for 5 years.

    Also, Corey Patterson has 3780 PAs spread over what is now an 11 year career, 6 of which he played at least 120 games. I'd have to think he counts as a Cub-developed regular player.
  15. bukie
    About 740 for an actual 162 game player. 680-700 for most everyday guys. 600 would be taking a fair amount of time off. Three full seasons is going to get you 2000 PA. 150 games @ 4 PAs/game = 600. I wouldn't consider missing 10-12 games to be a huge amount of time off. And for catchers, the bar should be lower. Just take a look at actual everyday guys and you will see they are all well above 600 PA, and to further the point, 3 seasons of 600 PA does not equal 1500 PAs. 2000 over three years if much closer to an actual everyday player. I was going off top-of-head assumptions. Assuming 600 PAs was everyday play, 500 PAs in a season would be 135 games played regularly (~1 day off per week, assuming 4 PA per game average -- technically 540). 1500 PAs over 3 years was a nice round number, as 2000 seemed a touch high of a requirement.

    It just seems odd to set the arbitrary baseline for "regular" at a guy who played 15 seasons. Plenty of everyday quality players play fewer than that.

    Anybody given up yet? Besides Al, I mean. ;) Alamo Stealth (4-2) at Saber Metrics (5-1) Harrys Budcrew (5-1) at Bazingas (1-5) Northside Baseball (3-3) at The Eyes of Texas (2-4) Kid Rodelo (4-2) at NC Cubs (1-5) Quakers (0-6) at Sock it Thome (1-5) Tootielicious (2-4) at Galesburg Hand Sanitizers (5-1) Mighty D-Block (3-3) at Ron Washington's Dealers (3-3) Lynx (5-1) at Fuzzy Logistics (4-2) Nobody undefeated anymore after last week's Lynx loss. Top 4 in the West matched up for the third consecutive week (all are 1-1 through 2 weeks), so we'll call those the matchups of the week again.
  18. bukie
    What's a full season worth of PAs, about 600? I'd consider any player with about a good 3 full seasons of time an "everyday player". So, again arbitrarily, > 1500 PAs. That should cover Theriot (and, really, he's been plenty regular the past 3 years). Soto may be coming close to that also.
  19. bukie
    Sure, 16 miles, but that's a 3 hour drive. ;)
  20. bukie
    Is Crawford still on the books for next season, or is he a FA as well?
  21. bukie
    July 1, since FA can't sign until then.
  22. bukie
    So, the Hawks were outplayed and had zero power play time, and still won. I'm not sure how to feel.
  23. bukie
    I don't get all the Len hate. I mean, he has a really great voice and his homerun calls rock.
  24. bukie
    Actually, the Cubs had just 24 outs on offense.
  25. bukie
    How spoiled are Hawks fans that just being outchanced and outshot looks like they're getting dominated?
