    Ted Lilly has the 4th best WHIP in baseball.
  2. muntjack
    Lol. Soto goes 2-4 while driving in both runs and its back to Koyie Hill.
  3. muntjack
    Castro with an RBI triple. Tennessee up 1-0.
  4. muntjack
    There is no reason not to start Soto the rest of the year.
  5. muntjack
    Then he walks the unwalkable. Lol.

    Hey Gregg didn't give up a HR. Improvement.
  7. muntjack
    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.

    Can Blanco put up a .700 OPS? Cause.......
  9. muntjack
    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.

    Hmm. Theriot has a 23/4 K/BB since Aug 1st. He also has not hit a 2B since July.
  11. muntjack
    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.

    Please tell me someone else has mlb.tv and heard that.
  13. muntjack
    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 ****.
  14. muntjack
    At least it means a baserunner.
  15. muntjack
    2-3 against Sabathia tonight
  16. muntjack
    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.
  17. muntjack
    In other news, Felix Pie has hit his 5th HR in 8 games.
  18. muntjack
    I don't believe they did.
  19. muntjack
    lol the strike one to Ramirez was just as bad as the strike one to Lee. A foot off the plate. I wouldn't mind but Harden wasn't getting pitches closer than that.
  20. muntjack
    No, we're rebuilding around the prospects we acquire from dealing our all-star caliber players and a pitching staff that is MORE than serviceable. What do you think a fair price in prospects is for Lee? Ramirez? What about Fukudome, who is one good night away from having the best OPS of any CF in baseball? I'd think we could get some top 50 talent for sure. All I'm saying is, we have the ability to make trades, get younger and keep the window open while still contending next year and that's WITHOUT adding payroll. If Ricketts is tight in the pocketbook, then he's gonna have to get creative to make it work.
  21. muntjack
    I agree that resigning Harden should be a priority. Frankly I wouldn't be opposed to gutting the team otherwise, as the window is closing and we could fill up the farm in deals for Lee, Fukudome, ARam, Lilly, Dempster, even Theriot . Obviously all is contingent on the waiving of no-trade clauses, but would they want to stay if the Cubs were gutting it? Getting some top, major-league-ready prospects back in those deals would allow us to still compete next year while cutting the budget considerably. A rotation of Harden Zambrano Wells Marshall Gorzellany/Cashner/acquired prospect is still more than serviceable. A bullpen with Guzman Marmol Grabow Parker Gaub Berg could be very strong We'd have to piece together the offense with our acquired prospects/pieces but we'd be keeping Soto, Fox and Soriano (no choice) to augment what we get. Assuming we can't work out a worthwhile deal for all of the guys above (say we keep ARam or Fukudome), we could still have a decent middle of the order, a good pitching staff and a more robust farm system with hopefully some top-end major league ready talent. While we might not be Series favorites next year, we would be markedly younger and could keep the window open for the forseeable future.

    mlb.tv working for me now
  23. muntjack
    We could see Hendry get creative if the ownership situation is still in flux and they can't add payroll. Could we see them try to re-convert Guzman into a starter? Will Cashner be given more than a cursory look in ST? Are they already planning to let Harden walk and thats why they acquired Gorz? Will they finally commit to Marshall as a starter? What do you guys think we could get for a package revolving around Z? Lilly? Would Philly be willing to trade Utley for Z + ? What about NYY and Cano?
  24. muntjack
    Papelbon went instead. Not sure why...
  25. muntjack
    I don't believe Fontenot led the world in HR/OPS when called up from the minors. Fox's power is for real. The fact that he's doing this in limited duty is staggering. His HR/AB is incredible. I'd almost be willing to move Soriano to 2nd to get his bat in the lineup. Almost.
