  1. Really? I guess I hadn't heard anything about his attitude. He has some nice peripherals, though.
  2. Alberto Callaspo for 2B! Marshall + T. Thomas to K.C. Theriot stays at SS until Castro is ready, if we did have the $$$ for Figgins, now we can allocate it elsewhere. Probably an average middle reliever!!!
  3. Selling high on Lilly isn't a bad idea, even though he's a pitcher who should age well and likely won't fetch what he's truly worth. I would see if K.C. would listen to Marshall + T. Thomas for Callaspo, who has some really nice peripherals at 2B (sub 1 K/BB) and wouldn't cost what the Kinslers (terrible home/road splits, I know) and Zobrists would, in cash or prospects. I really think we can live with another year of Theriot at SS and hope that Castro tears up the minors next year if we improve other areas. Soto HAS to have better luck next year in regard to LD%/BABIP, Lee seems to be fully recovered from his wrist problem and Soriano can't be worse (if he is, he won't have the leash he did this year, imo). Callaspo would add some offense while not costing the farm. If we get a full year from Aramis, there is no reason we couldn't be top 5 in runs again.
  4. He's a shortstop, when you OPS around .800 and steal SIXTY bases a year with good defense at SS, you're a superstar. And like I mentioned, there are reasons to believe he wouldn't have an enormous player cost. Do you think the leg injury will hamper him on the basepaths? What kind of package do you think it would take?
  5. What kind of package would you be willing to give up?
  6. He had 681 AB in 2007 and he put up a .775 OPS. He had a .750 OPS this year before going on the DL. He has never put up an .850 OPS and he has a leg injury. He is not a superstar, yet he is likely going to command the return that a superstar would.
  7. Someone please convince me that Jose Reyes is worth all that it would take to acquire him. He has a leg injury, makes $9 million next year and has a .772 career OPS.
  8. Ted Lilly has the 4th best WHIP in baseball.
  9. Lol. Soto goes 2-4 while driving in both runs and its back to Koyie Hill.
  10. Castro with an RBI triple. Tennessee up 1-0.
  11. There is no reason not to start Soto the rest of the year.
  12. Hey Gregg didn't give up a HR. Improvement.
  13. And I see the media somehow got wind of this "random act of kindness". Seems like they never report when Joe Average commits a "random act of kindness". Strange.
  14. Can Blanco put up a .700 OPS? Cause.......
  15. Look, I'm not saying Castro is a guarantee at all. I'm saying Reyes is terribly overrated, certainly by the Mets, who would likely ask the moon for him. If it took Vitters, Castro and Wells for Reyes for example, I would much rather take another .720 OPS year from Theriot and hope that Castro torches AA next year. Again, Jose Reyes has a leg injury, makes $9 million next year, will likely cost a healthy chunk of our farm and has a .772 career OPS. And our top prospect plays SS. This should not be the teams priority.
  16. Hmm. Theriot has a 23/4 K/BB since Aug 1st. He also has not hit a 2B since July.
  17. I would hope. People used to talk about him like he was the most valuable player in the league, which he never was. Career OPS of .772. I'd rather wait on Castro.
  18. Please tell me someone else has mlb.tv and heard that.
  19. Oh, that was fantastic. MLBtv comes back early sometimes and Len and Bob don't know they are on the air. This time Bob goes: This is horrible. I don't want any fingerprints on this ****.
  20. 2-3 against Sabathia tonight
  21. I will be completely stunned if Bradley is a Cub next spring. Not that he shouldn't be, I just think he's the perfect scapegoat for a lost season.
  22. In other news, Felix Pie has hit his 5th HR in 8 games.
