yes to Demp you're probably right about Drew, who might take a one-year deal if he doesn't have a big second half; i'd love to try going long-term though -
pass on Hamels and the 8/180 or whatever he ends up getting, and use that instead on: BJ Upton 5/80 Edwin Jackson 3/35 Stephen Drew 4/55 F. Liriano 1/6? RF DeJesus (B. Jackson) CF Upton SS Castro LF LaHair (Campana) 2B Drew (Barney) 1B Rizzo 3B Stewart (Cardenas) C Castillo (Clevenger) Garza, Samardjiza, E. Jackson, Dempster, T. Wood/Maholm/Volstad/F.Liriano Marmol, Dolis, Russell, Bowden, L. Castillo, Rusin print playoff tickets

having no DH really made both halves of that inning a total bore
-
Beltran out of the lineup
-
well now we know WSR's real name
-
and if you really want to [expletive] your pants, look at zips' updated projections: http://www.fangraphs.com/projections.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&type=uzips&team=0&players=0&sort=18,d it's like Where's Waldo, finding Pujols hint: also, who's that guy there above Miggy Cabrera and Prince Fielder a few spots? bizzaro world.
-
assuming the same playing time they've received so far, through the rest of the season... Pujols: .283/.367/.550 (.917) LaHair: .264/.338/.423 (.761)
-
Sam Webb basically guaranteed it

3 most encouraging developments: Shark's emergence, Castro's defense, LaHair's Hulk-smashing 3 most discouraging developments: Marmol's slider, Baez's walk allergy, McNutt

that's what jersey tells me man you're a douchebag no, you literally did tell me that
-
Cubs are 7th in NL in FIP. that's including relievers; our starters are 5th-best in all of baseball in FIP
-
that's what jersey tells me
-
Maholm: 4.05 ERA, 1.08 WHIP Russell: 0.73 ERA, 1.38 WHIP
-
He's signed to a team friendly contract. He's no #1 ace that teams tend to look for at the deadline he's more a #7 starter on a contending team
-
is this a serious question? of course teams value a player based on what he has done i imagine the Red Sox looking into a magical snowglobe and seeing all that John Lackey was going to do for them and saying "yup, that is worth $82.5 million to us"
-
oh, we're doing this again...a guy who has the 17th-best WAR amongst pitchers over the past 5 years and is currently leading baseball in ERA is no better than a #4 starter Clay Buchholz, lol
-
mods, please rename this thread to 'priortotheo barfs insanity everywhere' or i guess just rename the whole forum, for that matter
-
he's blue.
-
he only needs to hit .226/.310/.402 (in his next 200 PA) to reach that plateau so, over
-
using zips' ROS (.274/.341/.499), he could still play -15 defense in LF and be an above-average starter over a full season my growing suspicion is that there's enough sorcery to Sveum's shifts (which have rated Soriano the best fielder in baseball, per UZR) that would cover up some of LaHair's limitations now i'd still be fine with trading him, but i think you're underestimating how bad the offensive climate is in the MLB now, mojo
-
worth noting is that the Trop is one of the most pitcher-friendly parks; adjusting for park factors, that line (conceivably) becomes .265/.352/.430 if he'd played half his games in Wrigley
-
good argument. you responded to a guy saying he'd be an above average hitter in LF, and a below average fielder, saying you were unsure even about the first part average for LF this year is .316 wOBA, which again he's projected to exceed by a significant margin
-
I'm still not willing to project him as an above-average bat going forward. which is good, because you're wrong about everything average wOBA is .313, zips has him at .358; he's definitely above-average

He did. But gave up 3 runs in the process. so...he didn't
