    1) Pie's hand is still somewhat bothering him 2) He's working with Perry on his swing and they don't want him facing much live pitching until the new habits have taken hold 3) There was a behavioral issue we don't know about 4) He was starting to lose confidence and Lou wants to get him refocused 5) He was pressing too hard and Lou wants to take the pressure off (this one will be jumped on, but there's more than one way to do it) 6) Lou simply feels that the best way to introduce a talented young player who needs adjusting isn't to simply throw him in the deep end of the pool ... Lou was drooling over Ryan Spilborghs in the offseason, pulls Felix 2 ABs into a game on the double switch, gave him no chance to be the starter last season, gave Sam Fuld every opportunity to win the job this spring, it's been clear for awhile that Lou isn't in the business of cutting him many breaks.

    i'd love to hear some of them. the kid couldn't buy 2 PAs in a game last season because of Jacque Jones and now it is being plainly expressed that Lou trusts Reed Johnson more, even vs. right handers. Reed Johnson, who was just cut 2 weeks ago.

    jenkins leading off has to be a typo

    .225/.380/.675 Pena keeps his up and his new nickname is King ISO, my dark horse to win AL MVP

    there's absolutely no way the Preds can conceivably come back from a 2-0 deficit. unless perhaps Zetterberg and Datsyuk skate into each other and get dual concussions.

    Corey Patterson: 4 Cubs Leader: 4

    lol at Izturis' 8 BB and .405 OBP so far pitchers in the NL are really good
  9. sneakypower
    I fully agree, but it won't be for any legitimate reason. He's being railroaded by the coaching staff; Lou is determined to destroy this kid's confidence.

    Anaheim already down 2-0 to the Stars in the series. If they have an early exit, the Redwings are going to have an easy road to the finals. I see them winning the Cup if that happens.

    12 games

    but it's not all his fault that the team's loaded with irresponsible forwards like briere and lupul.
  13. sneakypower
    you've gotta give the caps credit sooner or later, that's a really good team.
  14. sneakypower
    well he certainly had artificial help

    I can picture a situation where Matt Cain becomes available this July, after Sabean's reign of lunacy finally comes to an end. Sadly, we may be lacking in the young offensive firepower to offer them, but I'd sure as hell love to try. I probably empty the farm for this guy.

    i'm guessing O-Dog's agent is an avid BP reader and loves the fact that WARP considers him a superior value on the field to miguel cabrera. but 15m - only a emoticon will suffice: :rotfl:

    Ethier was the Texas league player of the year and Youkilis had an entire chapter written about him in a NY Times bestseller. The best examples I can think of are Holliday, Atkins, Uggla, Santana, Chris Duncan, Mark Reynolds, Jason Bay, McLouth, Willingham, Melky Cabrera, Pujols and of course our very own Ryan Theriot! Soto too. Pitching wise there's really a lot of guys, since it's impossible to predict very well. Both Zambrano and Hill come to mind. Similarly there's Bannister, Wang, and Shields.

    "what's best for Hill" that language makes me uncomfortable. Hill should be glad though, Pignatiello basically only got eight pitches to prove himself before getting the ax in Lou's reactionary world. And Pie got just three games.
  19. sneakypower
    i think wellemeyer puts up very similar stats to ted lilly this year. 40m vs. 300k...
  20. sneakypower
    which upton?
  21. sneakypower
    theres a joke that certainly hasn't been made before.
  22. sneakypower
    it was nice having him as a prospect while it lasted. Lou is hell bent on destroying his confidence. i thought a game winning hit would buy him more than 2 PAs of good will, but i dont know what i was thinking.
  23. sneakypower
    maybe rich hill is the new jeremy bonderman and needs to give up 2-3 runs in the first to get settled down.
  24. sneakypower
    i can't get enough of that clip. brantley's worse than mccarver.
  25. sneakypower
    bj upton. mostly personal preference, but he won't be a very big step down from any of the other names on this list. and where is chase utley? you could also make an argument for josh hamilton, esp. if he's in CF.
