    What if it were MARSHALL, Marmol + Cedeno?
  2. OleMissCub
    Yeah, that's about how I feel about it. 25yo's that average 200 hits and 55 sb's a year aren't going to be cheap. But to give up a SP and/or a shutdown reliever and perhaps future closer is a bit steep. Cedeno I could care less, he's never impressed me.

    Gross. Carl Crawford VORPed 38, while Hill and Marmol VORPed 40.3 and 34.5 respectively. Does some of a players VORP depend upon how good a team he was on? Surely that must matter.

    HAHA, Quantrill. That's awesome.

    Good lord!

    It's a pretty good deal for the Tigers too. They had 10 different guys play LF and 8 different guys play RF last year. I'm guessing they'll put Jock in LF.

    I don't know, I seem to remember the Colts beating up on the Bears in the "elements".

    Giants wearing the red jersey's. They don't wear those very often.

    Stupids Saints. Just HAD the onside kick but our butterfingers safety dropped it. That's why you don't have safeties on the hands team. Knuckleheads. And THAT'S the ballgame. Way to go, Aints.

    They are just resting him. OH MAN....Reggie Bush just got knocked out cold. Laying there like a limp fish.

    You speak lies with a forked tongue!

    the guy had ONE ARM! The only reason he was playing anyways was because all the real players were fighting in the war.

    Some guy posted it on baseball-fever's message board. When I was doing my research on my thesis paper about Cobb, Speaker, and Jackson in undergrad, I had to read on microfilm a good bit of those old sports columns and they are always hilarious. "the Yankees were as comfortable as a lamplighter in a gunpowder factory".... that's beyond outstanding.

    haha, Mississippi State beats Alabama. Eat crap Nick Saban, you punk.
  18. OleMissCub
    My hatred for Miss. State only subsides when they are playing Alabama. They are up on BAMA 17-9 going into the 4th. GO DAWGS! *shudder*

    Ya I saw that this year at the 2 games I saw at Busch. Just stupid.

    Your type of analysis is generally the correct one used in legal thought. If the MLB's burden was less than the probability of harm times the degree of loss, then they should be held liable for damages. B < p x L However, this all goes out the window when there is an express assumption of risk involved, as there is with participating in professional sports. Thus, fear of liability is a moot point, unless it is somehow considered to be gross negligence and/or outside the scope of the assumption of risk. For example, several fans were hurt a few years ago at Coors Field when the escalator had a brain fart and threw everyone down. An escalator collapse is outside the scope of one's "assumption of risk", getting hit by a foul ball or a stray puck isn't. Thus, the Rockies were held liable. If MLB wants to put helmets on their base coaches, it's unlikely they would be doing it for legal reasons, otherwise they'd be putting helmets on umpires, pitchers, fielders, guys in the dugout, etc.

    Participating in professional sports constitutes an assumption of risk which usually negates teams being held liable. Wouldn't there be some level of reasonable precaution the league would be expected to take? Having trained medical staff in the stadium and posting notice about the dangers probably qualifies. Think of it this way, if a fan gets hit in the head, the team isn't obligated to give them jack squat. Now think of someone who is actually ON the field participating in that sport. If they aren't legally obligated to the fan, they for sure aren't legally obligated for someone on the field of play.

    "Baseball people are generally allergic to new ideas, it took years to persuade them to put numbers on uniforms, and it is the hardest thing in the world to get major league baseball to change anything, even spikes on a new pair of shoes, but they will eventually...they are bound to." - Branch Rickey.

    OMG! What the hell? Granderson "slugged" over 100 points higher than Ichiro.
