  1. the Brian Roberts talk is all speculation; with Alexei's emergence I doubt they make any deals for Roberts
  2. i wouldn't pick up any of those 4 players from the waiver wire. he's 40 pts back of first, and i'm 8 or so. i wonder if i accepted whether the league would veto. probably, but it wouldn't be in their best interest.
  3. 4 starts in july 0.32 ERA 0.68 WHIP 10.6 k/9 .155 BAA i wonder if they could have used him in the Yankees series?
  4. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e382/harryddunn/tradeoffer.jpg
  5. the few times I saw McCutcheon play he reminded me of a faster Rickie Weeks with better contact skills. But with his bat speed and plate discipline, I think he won't take very long to adjust to the MLB level. you can just move McLouth over to RF, and have a really good young OF. i'd try trading Nady for a 3B though, i don't much like Neil Walker at all.
  6. move Aviles to put Pena at SS? why not just play German or Callaspo at 2B and Pena to the mound?
  7. well thats a curious choice of words
  8. yet Clemens finished 4th in the MVP voting, with Welch finishing 9th behind two other Oakland pitchers :-k
  9. that's pretty much Ryan Theriot plus a few more XBH from a LF no wonder Joe Morgan seems angry all the time
  10. http://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/awards_1973.shtml#NLmvp what on Earth?
  11. please update the score in that game i cant look at the Padres lineup again or i'll projectile barf
  12. he and Weeks would make for a very productive platoon
  13. they're probably going to make the playoffs anyways, and Cain gives them a full blown powerhouse rotation. i don't know that any team can compete with Sheets, CC, Cain and Parra in a short series. Hardy doesn't offer much vs. righties and they brutalize lefties regardless; Escobar could certainly replace his defense adequately.
  14. ah i guess i may have to brush up on my Pentateuch
  15. not to mention matching jewelry on their ring fingers
  16. relax its just an inane Rick Reilly quote but what's with the G-d? its god censored on here? edit: well that cant be it confused minds want to know
  17. uh oh youre going to be really pissed off when you start noticing hes really good out there in CF "really" good is probably overstating it. he often takes terrible routes to balls and has to use his athleticism to make up for it. I have no doubts he'll improve as he spends more time out there, but as of right now his arm is the only thing really good about his defense that's a pretty fair assessment personally, i don't have problems with CFs relying on athleticism to make up for bad reads because they're ultimately still going to make most of the plays and given some increased familiarity with the position they'll only improve. unless it's Alex Sanchez of course. his mis-read last night was pretty ugly, but I'd still put him in my outfield right now in large part because of his otherworldly arm. i'd almost wager he could develop into a GG candidate, but with his age he's behind the curve for defense and it's likely when he gets a better grip on the position he'll start losing athleticism somewhat.
  18. i think i would cry blood if that actually happened
