    nilo, are you using any type of positional adjustment on these? i strongly doubt Gathright's more valuable as a corner OF

    he and Theriot are really gonna put on a show in BP

    fwiw, pizza argues the Giants really didn't have much of a dropoff from Bonds to Lewis last year

    nobody was predicting an MVP season from Nomar our top 3 headed the leaderboard of PAP in 03 - Tampa's didn't we didn't have a glut of young talent on offense - Tampa does we had inept management - Tampa doesn't what the hell is your argument anyways? they should have a firesale or something because they could possibly have guys get injured or 12 years older all of a sudden?

    i understand where you're coming from with these statements, but Detroit is freakishly potent with a pulled goalie. the other night Phoenix outplayed them the entire game, until 1:30 left where Michalek stupidly puts the puck over the boards in the neutral zone and draws a minor. and predictably, Hossa sets up Franzen for the tie and Hank undresses Bryzgalov for the shootout W. not that this anecdote alone means much, but they did essentially the same thing in the Hawks and Kings games, among others i'm forgetting atm. they could be outscoring teams by a wider margin but it really looks like they're coasting right now. i still hate denis gauthier. a lot. not for that specifically, but he makes crappy decisions like that all the time. maybe Murray instructed Gauthier to throw the game like that to show his appreciation to Det for Kyle Quincey

    BJ Upton will have an MVP caliber year, and Crawford will invariably rebound and with Price, Kazmir, Garza, Shields, Sonnanstine as the rotation, they'll remain a strong pennant contender [expletive] they're loaded

    oops in my defense though i had the misapprehension Orlovsky, whom I like quite a bit, was on IR and Henson was going to start or something

    I had to chuckle at this. The Nats seem to have a bigger infatuation with RH hitting outfielders than Jim Hendry's infatuation with guys who can play 2b. Josh Willingham Elijah Dukes Lastings Milledge Austin Kearns Wily Mo Pena i love Dukes, Milledge and Pena if they were available on the cheap (Pena obviously not for starting)

    amazing that Angel Guzman was the hold-up we let a better young RP go for the privilege of Kevin Gregg gross

    you took the words right out of my mouth, TT

    cindy crosbaby! OMG that's hysterical!!!
  14. sneakypower
    seeing as he'll likely be healthy for like 3-1/2 years of that contract, that's another pitcher they'll be spending $23m on, per pitching year
  15. sneakypower
    4/63 is not an onerous contract for a pitcher of Peavy's caliber. my god, look at what CC's about to sign. the Pads have special circumstances which are prompting them to get rid of him; it's not comparable to A-Rod or Hampton in any way shape or form.

    i'm not too thrilled about people over dramatizing the "7 for 1" thing Hart, Cedeno, Guzman are all easily replaceable off of the scrap heap. what are Denny Bautista or Yorman Bazardo doing these days? where is Gookie Dawkins these days? they're so insignificant i don't too much care what we throw out there in their stead. Marshall was our loogy last year, uh oh where can i find one of those?? hell, the club can't trust Pie to do anything more than late inning defensive substitution and pinch running. OK, where is Freddy Guzman? you've really got Vitters and Derosa were the only players of any consequence whatsoever in the deal. i can surely part with them for a CY winner

    what are we even arguing about in regards to Pie? "well the organization has done such a rotten job in evaluating his ability and clearing a spot for him to display his talents, so lets just unload him for whatever doghowry we can get in return and forget it ever happened" i guess that worked well for Juan Cruz

    and the numbers bear out that Fukudome was a superior player to Ibanez last year and will most likely continue to be for the next three seasons
  20. sneakypower
    how are you even comparing these two players anyways? unless you're a big Mariners buff by some chance, obviously you're going to think more highly of a guy with flaws you don't notice/aren't aware of to the other flawed player you have better ability to scrutinize. it just doesn't make much sense.
  21. sneakypower
    what makes that so obvious? oh, and i'd also be remiss if i didn't mention Fuku was roughly 5 runs better than Ibanez on the basepaths last year
  22. sneakypower
    OK, but I can show you video clips of Fukudome looking stupid at the plate over & over again, after the beginning of the year.......and let's face it, without Fuku's hot start, his hitting numbers were absolutely abysmal. As it was, he ended at a 90 OPS+, but was far lower than that after June. How do you figure he'll project out better next year? I find it far more likely he'll continue to be like he was in the 2nd half of the year. It seems obvious to me that pitchers simply figured him out. the pics i added in there for hilarity if you arbitrarily dispose of all the at bats where he was productive, then sure he was an awful hitter. what's your point? March through June 340 PA 15.5 BB%, 19.5 K%, 20.1 LD%, 50.9 GB%, .133 ISO, .349 BABIP July through October 250 PA, 11.8 BB%, 22.5 K%, 17.8 LD%, 50.1 GB%, .105 ISO, .251 BABIP

    i'd argue Fukudome had a more productive season last year overall and projects to have a more productive season this year as well, by more than a small margin
  25. sneakypower
    Not if he keeps OPSing in the 600s. you're kidding me you actually think he's had a sufficient MLB sample from which to judge him? he's progressed as a hitter in the minors the last several seasons, fwiw
