hmmm. sign a guy at age 16. spend 7 years turning him into a terrific prospect, and after giving him 4 starts to prove himself trade him for a .222/.277/.293 guy about to hit FA next year. i think every time i feel depressed about Hendry's performance as a GM i'll read this thread and breath a sigh of relief that it could be far, far worse. only 35? hell- why not 54? or 70? -

the real question is whether to use your keeper league waiver claim on this guy or wait for Kershaw

how does Corey Patterson have more BBs than Ks? -
oh please do explain Theriot has been playing poorly lately. "But he has an .870 OPS." that was not my response. i referenced his past week's statistics and it was much better than a .870 OPS for that period. i made mention of Cedeno playing concurrently, making this mostly a moot argument. i dont see where i made this reply to that point. also curious is that nobody is tearing apart Dempster and Reed Johnson. it seems as everybody has been reactionary to their hot starts in spite of indications that they'd both be far less productive players. the determination to loathe those two players must not be so strong. riding the hot hand. a very atypical thing for managers to do. but this response is different from the rest rendering it irrelevant. actual response: lou's fault. your reading comprehension leaves a lot to be desired.

Oh, the irony. oh please do explain

NO THERIOT HAS BEEN VERY GOOD SO FAR IF HE STINKS IN THE FUTURE LOU CAN BENCH HIM IF HE DOESNT HE WILL BE THE ONE SCREWING THE TEAM i think i'll have to type in caps when expressing this simple point as plain text just isn't translating somehow. the cast of characters on here has shown all the nuance of a brick wall.
-
give me a break. i made reference of the notion that a player could have an empty OPS and ARod was the classic example. i was clear with my statements. if you read it and took it as an ARod-Theriot comparison, then you should try improving your reading comprehension.

ok, now we're getting somewhere. this is good. the fear is that Piniella is going to make the terrible decision of playing a sub-.650 ops SS everyday when there is another clearly superior option. and that surely would be a terrible decision. but what nobody realizes apparently, is that you're all really early with the criticisms as the kid is at .870 or whatever now and has been an asset for us this season. you're jumping the gun with the bashing, and it's directed at the wrong party. i've been thrilled that both ronny and theriot have been producing, but i realize that puts me in the minority. i guess i'm the twisted type of fan that enjoys it when players are performing well.
-
people are inferring Ryan has been detrimental with his play thus far. it is absolutely analogous. and who makes that decision? if you don't know id be glad to give hints.

i was really just highlighting the asinine logic (or lack thereof) of all the bashing for any of the team's struggles towards one particular player who has played stellar baseball so far this year. the tunnel vision is strong with a significant faction of the game threaders. "870 OPS? for a SS wow that's pretty goo-...oh **** it, i hate that little guy anyways" Funny you should mention tunnel vision, because thats what you're using to look at his OPS. so with his high OPS he is still detrimental to the team? thats funny as the notion of that pertaining to A-Rod has always been mocked and derided on here. kind of a double standard.

LOU. PINIELLA.

i'm guessing 90% of them were theriot's. over/under at 31

Ya think? We'd be on a 9 game winning streak right now if we could hit with RISP No I think we would be on that streak had Theriot not been playing. he has killed us with his glove, lack of hitting, and stealing. Wow your right: Thursday: GIDP with the bases loaded, botches a routine DP ball that results in the go ahead run scoring GIDP? Your are right. Bloops into a double play. Way better. so he's at fault for another guys baserunning wow tough crowd He is at fault for not being a very good baseball player. "not good at baseball" awesome, an original term that adds much to the argument if our worst player has been a 870 opsing SS then i look forward to a very, very, very prosperous season.

Wow your right: Thursday: GIDP with the bases loaded, botches a routine DP ball that results in the go ahead run scoring Friday: CS twice, including once at 3B where afterwards the circumstances led to the Cubs hitting a sac fly. Today: GIDP with the bases loaded in a situation to tie the game. He is killing us. Even when he is hitting at a passable level he is no more than a replacement level player. On top of that he doesn't even "play the game the right way" He just isn't very good. where are these 900 opsing replacement level shortstops and where can 25 teams in need of one find them? But Right, one would be foolish to assume he won't keep producing at that level and even when he stops he will stillmake dumb play after dumb play. so again, you're bashing him because he will be hurting the team in the future... good to get a head start i guess.

It's going to get ugly, thats for sure. Luckily Ronny is trying his best to force Lou's hand. Next weekend I had better see a lineup like this Lou: Soriano Cedeno Lee ARam Fukudome Soto DeResoa Pie i hate it too that his .337/.406/.465 line has impeded this offense in comparison to Ronny's .375/.432/.575, yeah, it has a little. what an incredibly asinine reason to bash someone. they've been playing concurrently much of the time but that probably doesnt matter for your ridiculous argument.

I'm sick of Matt Diaz and his damn BABIP year after year
sneakypower replied to badnews's topic in General Baseball Talk
matt diaz, carl crawford, josh hamilton, delmon young, joey gathright, rocco baldelli, desmond jennings, jonny gomes. that's quite an OF factory they have running in tampa. -
Campbell or Phillips would look good here for the Hawks
