    What do you have against Gathright? He's fast as lightning, but has no patience and no power. His OBP in the minors ranges from 360 - 419 (360 was his first season). I don't see that as a lack of patience. And who cares about the power? We've had enough of that the past few years and it has gotten us nowhere.

    Is it really that big of a deal? The dude posted bum information and aplogized. Drop it already.

    Tell Len to get his head out of his... oh, never mind. :D I really don't think it was that big of a deal. That info very well could have been dead-on until the Dodgers decided to have a huge meth party and call Furcal's agent.
  5. Ding Dong Johnson
    I don't think they look like bargains as much as they just further highlight how insane the Dodgers are.

    Griffey and Ichiro. Patterson, Walker, Mitre, Williams, Hill, and Pie all gone. Ichiro will have a sub-Ichiro season, Griff will play in 98 games, batting .221 while we take on all of his non-deferred salary. Not saying I want it, just saying that's what'll probably happen.

    Losing 100 = losing 80. Unless you're in the NL West, that is. Then losing 80 = playoffs! :)

    I just threw up in my mouth...
  9. Ding Dong Johnson
    And where will he be the GM then?
  10. Ding Dong Johnson
    I'm fully confident that Nomar will go elsewhere, play 155 games, and post these numbers .338/.388/.560/.948

    There is no reason in the world for Wood to not be ready by opening day. I had surgery to repair a TORN labrum (Kerry's was only frayed) by one of the finest orthopaedic surgeons in the midwest and was told that it would be 6 months at the longest to a full recovery. I specifically asked him about Wood's injury at the time since my Dr was also a big Cubs fan. He told me that from what he knew of the injury, he saw no reason why he would not be completely ready by the beginning of February at the latest. I have not participated in rehab as aggressively as prescribed, and I am an entire month ahead of schedule. Wood had his surgery at the end of August if memory serves. Even if his recovery takes a full 6 months, that puts him at March 1. How in the world can he not be ready for opening day?

    If they can do it successfully, absolutely.

    As would his average, SB %, defense, etc. That's all a given. :wink: The more I look at Gathright, the more I like him. Look at his OBP in his minor league stints (360, 406, 419, 399, 384, 388). Not too shabby, plus he's only 23...
  14. Ding Dong Johnson
    Don't waste your time. There was absolutely nothing there to listen to.
  15. Ding Dong Johnson
    Um, I would mind considerably if anybody brought in Frank Thomas to play third base, even if for only an inning.
  16. Ding Dong Johnson
    That would leave us with too many people who get on base.

    I consider Welly's 6.19 ERA and 1.72 WHIP to be a flop. Some might consider Novoa's 4.80 and 1.57 to be a flop. How about Wuertz? He's only marginally better than Novoa. Stuff means nothing when the results aren't there.
  18. Ding Dong Johnson
    Based on what? I looked at their results. His minor league stats are much more impressive than those 3, and Novoa is the only one younger.

    *** WARNING: What you are about to read is an extremely bad joke, but one I just had to make. *** I left my heart in San Fransisco... Sorry, I had to do it!
  20. Ding Dong Johnson
    Says the guy with the 160+ KB sig... :)
  21. Ding Dong Johnson
    To me, he showed much more potential than Welly or Novoa or Wuertz. I guess maybe the BoSox saw what I did. I hope that PTBNL is a very good one. Yes, first time I've been in since yesterday afternoon. Craziness, I tell ya. I broke down and checked the ESPN boards. Man, I feel dirty.
  22. Ding Dong Johnson
    The only ones I can think of are Walker and Williamson.
  23. Ding Dong Johnson
    If A Rod ended up a Cub, I'd let him play wherever the heck he wanted to.
  24. Ding Dong Johnson
    And the wind is blowing out to left... 8)

    Not that this is indicative of how each future season would be, but Michael Young's splits last year are eerily similar. Home (332 AB) .331/.386/.527/.913 Away (336 AB) .330/.384/.500/.884
