  1. His season last year was atypically bad actually. Not sure where he will end up this year. But I'm pretty sure of two things: 1) He'll be better than a 6.02 ERA and a dismal 73 ERA+, and 2) $20m/yr is insanely high for him. Agreed! :lol:
  2. Not to pretend that I've read the whole thread, but Marquis strikes me as a similar, if not better pitcher than Jason Jennings. Same age too. So I actually don't have too much of a problem with this, as we didn't lose anyone and got pretty much the same pitcher.
  3. Marquis doesn't have a good K/BB ratio, which is mainly why his ERA suffers so much. At least he's young though, and a groundball pitcher.
  4. Color me worried about not having Tommie Harris in our defense. And worried about Grossman. I think we could survive one or the other, but both.....and I think we see another one-and-done.
  5. co-sign
  6. Doesn't get injured, has a live arm. A little old for his levels, but there's a chance he could be decent, I guess. Good trade regardless. Something for nothing. I'm happy.
  7. Well I guess that ends that.
  8. Well at least he's not handing it to Izturis out of the gate?
  9. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH, what a terrible trade for the White Sox.
  10. Don't you think that's overreacting a bit? Neither Edmonds nor Bonds had over 370 AB last year, and Rolen hit only 22 HR. Edmonds will turn 37 during the season and Bonds will turn 43.
  11. :shock: :shock: Hmmm.... maybe they should be tested for Polonium 210... :lol: =D>
  12. do you really see dempster's ability as good enough to close? I think Demp had to be injured or something. I mean, sure he had some close calls but he was stellar all of 2005 and half 2006. But I think Wood is a better closer without a doubt.
  13. This is just....strange. If another trade doesn't spawn from this, Kenny will have a lot of explaining to do this summer.
  14. You had the chance to write the headline: Soriano traded for Ramirez, and you passed?! :P
  15. This has got to be some kind of joke.
  16. I honestly don't care, they're both crap. I'd rather get neither, especially for the years they want.
  17. If this happens, it would be AMAZING! Get on it Jimbo.
