    This offense in Colorado... :rotfl:
  2. muntjack
    According to Felix, he is going to start.

    Castillo, Church and Schneider have combined for 5 extra base hits in 173 AB. Interestingly, David Wright has ~1/3 of New York's extra-base hits. He is good.
  4. muntjack
    Just...wow. So utterly impressed with Kosuke.
  5. muntjack
    I guess it's better than Sean Marshall honeymoon video.
  6. muntjack
    Juan Cruz is pretty good.
  7. muntjack
    That would be a very poor decision IMO. 9th in AL in WHIP. < 30. Pitches in AL East.
  8. muntjack
    If we added Marmol and Colvin perhaps we could get Guthrie?

    Brian Roberts: 2001: .625 OPS in 273 AB 2002: .605 OPS in 128 AB 2003: .704 OPS in 460 AB 2004: .720 OPS in 641 AB After this many ABs at this level of production, do you think Roberts felt some pressure to put up #s? 2005: .902 OPS in 561 AB 1 time? I don't buy it.

    This is the feeling I've had all along. If they didn't feel this way, I believe they would've gotten a veteran SS to backup Ryan by now. Perhaps Ronny hasn't dealt well with pressure at the ML level and they want to let him get comfortable before benching Theriot.
  11. muntjack
    359/.422/.557 That was Ronnys line in AAA last year at age 24. He has continued to show pbetter plate discipline in Venezuela. Theriot has NEVER put up numbers that come anywhere close. Why wouldn't you start the guy with at least the potential to be league average or above?

    Did you say "Harrelsonian"?

    I fondly remember one day in May 1998 when Operation Shutdown came into Wrigley leading the league in hitting, only to be made a fool of over and over by some Texan kid.

    From Rotoworld: If this is indeed the package, we could have topped it pretty easily. Fill enough of a smaller market team's holes cheaply and with a little upside and you can make these video game trades. Hill/Pie/EPatt/Marmol crushes this package.
  15. muntjack
    I'd rather trade Marshall and Veal for Josh Hamilton and save Murt and Prior to include in a deal for a SS or SP upgrade.
  16. muntjack
    WTH? This should be done already if that's the case.
  17. muntjack
    There's something a little weird about Roberts' progression. As a 23 yr. old in '01 he put up an OPS of .625. He followed that up with seasons of .605, .704 and .720. Then at 27 yrs. old his OPS jumped to .902 due mostly to a spike in SLG to .515 (up from .376). That's an awfully big jump after ~1500 ABs. Makes me a little wary. Markakis, however..........I would give a king's ransom for that guy if he were truly available.
  18. muntjack
    Actually, the Orioles match up with us very well. They want to get younger and they need a closer, a CF, a corner OF and middle of the rotation help. If Tejada leaves they'll want a young SS. We have trading chips in all of these areas. Marmol Pie EPatt Murton Marshall Cedeno
  19. muntjack
    The lowest OPS Hunter Pence has ever put up at any level is .864. He is good.
  20. muntjack
    I was suggesting packages like this a month ago and getting mocked. :cry: It's pretty obvious now (as it was then) that Santana's relationship with the Twins has soured a bit, leaving them with less pull in any negotiations. The names being thrown out there as centerpieces are fairly ridiculous, though. Jon Lester has meh peripherals and cancer and Coco is a 28yr old with a career OPS < .740. I think a package of Hill + Marmol + Pie is significantly better than Melky + Kennedy + Tabata or Crisp + Lester + Lowrie. Not sure I give that up, however. I'd give up any 2 prospects in place of Hill, though.
  21. muntjack
    Pretty much. Get that BABIP up a little and he's looking at an .850 + OPS.
  22. muntjack
    I would kill for Ricky right now, lol. Heck, I'd take AGonz.
  23. muntjack
    I've been stating this repeatedly on here for 2 years. So why are they letting Murton rot away and simultaneously decreasing his trade value?
  24. muntjack
    That line is a bit better, but doesn't Matt project to improve his numbers a little with regular playing time and natural progression as he enters his prime years? I would be thrilled with Fukudome in CF, but only if we could spin Pie off in a package for a BIG improvement at SS or RF, otherwise he's not worth it, imo.
  25. muntjack
    What I gather from all this is that Fukudome projects to be a LH Matt Murton. (albeit considerably older and more expensive) ~ .295/.360/.440 Poor Matt.
