  1. they must still be feeling remorseful for the Zambrano trade they'll spin it to the fans as a way to resign Crawford, but they're getting way too little in return
  2. http://i26.tinypic.com/15xtiqh.jpg
  3. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a57/zeta1344/DEXTER.jpg Too late. LOL
  4. but the guys in our farm have kinda bad career road OPSes
  5. oh hey Holliday's actually hitting decently well outside of Coors, go figure
  6. oh hey guys look who has 2 BBs and a HR tonight and is going .300/.360/.510 since early may yeah good point, i guess i'd still rather have aaron heilman, too
  7. Castro's progression (update): Split PA BB% K% April 68 2.9% 11.8% May 91 2.2% 9.9% June 112 6.3% 9.8% July 104 6.7% 10.6% August 84 10.7% 5.9%
  8. Phillips did however try trading David Wright for Jose Cruz, Jr.
  9. i usually settle on something stupid, like victorious secret
  10. Mon, 23 Feb 2009 05:51:57 -0800 The Baltimore Sun's Jeff Zrebiec reports Baltimore Orioles 3B Melvin Mora predicted he'll hit .340 with 20-plus homers and 100-plus RBIs this season.
  11. Desmond Jennings probably has better speed than McCutchen, and isn't much different in terms of talent
  12. fwiw, only 12 pitchers in baseball threw more pitches than Volquez last year
  13. i don't figure ROY favorite Randy Wells or Jake Fox were prominently featured on that prospect list. hmmm... and whichever sophisticated sage made the dumb ass flippant remark about people writing off 100 year droughts as crapshoots, literally nobody has ever said anything to that effect. just a stupid stupid thing to say.
  14. i heard the other day he's got a .428 OBP aside from june which isn't too bad, i understand
  15. this is so bat [expletive] insane to me i'm not the biggest Hendry supporter or anything, but we don't sit around during the season and think "i'm so thrilled Hendry got such fantastic players for Will Omen and Freddy Bynum, who are both bagging groceries somewhere now, i think.", but now that he parted with these guys they're blue chip prospects with enormous upside or something.
  16. i'm seeing 1.39 http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/stats/individual_stats_player.jsp?c_id=chc&playerID=448694&section1=1&statSet1=1&section2=1&section3=1&statSet3=1&statSet2=2
  17. The problem with Wells is he pitches to a lot of contact and much of it is in the air. If he keeps most of that on the ground and has a k rate between 6-7, with minimal walks, he should maintain solid numbers. huh? his GB/FB rate is well above average.
  18. "selling high" on every young pitcher that has a prolonged stretch of great performance in fears of a Rich Hill redux is a sure-fire way to have a pretty gross rotation. i don't really understand the motivation of giving up Wells. i mean, if we had Tim Lincecum right now would you advocate getting rid of him because Prior's value blew up in an instant?
  19. it seems to be pretty clear looking back that his downfall was resultant from injuries. unless you pinpointed something in his mechanics that showed he was a significant injury risk, i don't really know how you can say i told you so about it.
  20. oh man, i'd love us to take a flier on Hermida
  21. i'm not really seeing what you guys are. the centerpieces from all those deals, Gorkys Hernandez, Andy Laroche and Jose Tabata, might all combine for 10 home runs a year if they ever make it to the big leagues together.
  22. if they acquire Halladay too, then this trade for Lee would be the most nonsensical acquisition in recent memory.
  23. that'd be fair to say, dew. cleveland got 4 guys who were probably between 4-10 or so in Phil's org ranking
  24. Drabek, Brown, Taylor are unequivocally the top 3 and Knapp's likely ahead of the other two at this point. You could quibble about Carrasco, but they were a lot more willing to deal him than Drabek all along.
