  1. Aviles' emergence has rightfully seemed to relegate Pena Jr. to his appropriate role as a PR-def replacement
  2. http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/ML_2008_t.shtml in terms of OPS+, Volquez has been the best pitcher in baseball by an absurd amount. lol at #3
  3. not to mention translate it to japanese so Kosuke can OBP .476
  4. I hope you're speaking figuratively. had him looking at first pitch curve, then fooled him with 2-seamer and made him look silly on cutter
  5. can't believe they didn't put him on, he was 3-4 hitting everything hard all day
  6. thank God they're not trying to bunt with Sheff
  7. wow Jones undressed Duncan
  8. to be fair, Rasheed never really scored on the inside.
  9. the two draft picks won't be as attractive as usual; the talent in next year's draft is pretty weak overall.
  10. Bosh and O'Neal in the same paint would be a sight to behold, when healthy. The Pistons would certainly be worse with that trade, but I'd love it so I could get to watch B diddy more often.
  11. complicate it for me then if you don't appreciate the effect that elite speed and plus defense have on a game, or that significant upside potential has in trying to assess the future of a player, then yes he's garbage. reading your writeup of him he might as well be Ross Gload for all the aspects of his game you even mentioned. as i said in the past not much has changed since to change my stance on his future. my only concern is that he's on the wrong team to try to discourage his free swinger mentality.
  12. that would be a really over simplistic way to put it
  13. Tigers probably sweep the Cards i've got a feeling about it
  14. I'm surprised there aren't well-defined rules - there have been a few ambidextrous pitchers in pro ball, even at the MLB level. Greg Harris in 1995 for the Expos and this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Mullane 567 innings in 1884, even load balancing between two arms, is pretty amazing. the record is 680, by Will White
  15. well not really i just don't make +1 posts or quote posts that nobody wants to read
  16. I'd believe in the Twins more if Delmon Young ever tried to pull the ball.
  17. I didn't see much of that, but perhaps I left the thread out of perturbation by then.
  18. what did he say about Morrison and Redick when they were drafted?
  19. seemingly the vast majority
  20. lets merge this thread with the game thread after his callup where everybody was making clever Corey comparisons
  21. somebody should start a thread where illinguy, LLF and cubsgm can compete to see who can make more whiny sniveling remarks about the Cardinals let the slurp off begin!
  22. Gomez is virtually the same player Jose Reyes was at his age, what did you really expect from him? but... but... he hit for the cycle is that the only thing you know?
