yeah i know i'm just really hungry right now. -
as part of a deal to net us GreeneWow it took 29 posts before His name got thrown into the discussion. I was wondering how He could be incorporated into this thread. Kudos. On another note, mmmm....Crisp Pie...

I'd like to defend the Twins, but they're set to go to opening day with Everett, Lamb, Harris in their IF. Gross.
-
Beane? really? It might be arguable, but yes, really. Beneficiary of three stud pitchers having great health and a bunch of mediocre hitters who shot their bodies chock full of steroids. No such luck with Harden and he can't field a decent hitter anymore. That team isn't doing feces for awhile and payroll will be the convenient excuse. If I've got a slashed budget, just give me Beinfest instead.

Theo inherited Manny Damon Lowe and Pedro. Ortiz signing was brilliant but it wasn't. Dude wanted Jeremy Giambi starting over him. Come to think of it, what has Theo done? It's nice to have a 135m payroll to cover your mistakes of Drew, Lugo, Clement, Renteria, Pena... I'd probably take Gillick over a bunch of the guys mentioned.

there seems to be a rash of that going around.

imagine that.

Santana's career inter-league stats: 182.2 IP, 16-4, 191 K, 2.27 ERA, 0.91 WHIP.

Yeah, that. And Marquis, the team was 20-13 in his starts. We haven't been soapdropped in the donkey yet with that signing like everybody is convinced already happened. Sure, there is ample reason to suspect he'll be rotten the next two years, but you're jumping the gun in proclaiming it a dumb signing as it has not turned out badly as of yet. As far as we can tell, Hendry could very well be relieved of him right now (Mets) if he felt the necessity to do so.

Give me a break. No. It was a stupid comment. I'm really sure you were fearful that he was going to spend reasonable money on a guy who can only play the same position two of our best players and our best two backups play. Because he has a long list of disastrous signings, such as...Neifi? That's about all I got. Of course, he didn't sign Schmidt and Lugo, whom everybody pined for, so Halo Effect dictates he's just awful in every facet of his job. It's out of the realm of possibility that he might be viewed as just be a mediocre, middle of the road GM. That would require nuance.

Give me a break.

Enhancement ideas for NSBB

For 4m, what do you really expect to get? Their offense will be great with or without him.
-
It's a decent signing. I wouldn't be surprised if he hits 30 HRs in that bandbox. Phillie pitchers can use all the help they can get, I like this better for them than the Inge rumors.
-
Oh, ok. "When he does it a few times, I'll be able to predict he'll keep doing it." Clever. Very maverick. Thinking outside of the box, I like it. Yeah, I know how weird is that, that I would read a Cubs blog? That would be like going on a message board to read opinions from other fans of the same team. Kinda creepy, I know. But seriously, you were pimping it in your power rankings thread. Eeeek.

1. catcher with [expletive] - you can do this for any team. it's a stupid argument. 2-3. You got me, I don't know anything about baseball...

I wasn't aware you had connections in the Twins front office who openly tell you how much they like players on other teams. Pie sucks. Ellsbury doesn't. it's not rocket science Your opinion. Twins scouts might disagree. But if you have weekly tea parties with them, I guess it's really not worth arguing. Not true. Twin scouts thought Ben Revere was a first round talent. (no pun intended) Signability. What they've done over there has worked pretty well for them the past decade. You said Theriot = Derosa. That nullifies every evaluation you make henceforth?

what's my weatherman going to say tonight?
-
I don't think they'll get it put together in time to make the playoffs. Their defensemen are prone to turnovers, they play with so little physicality, and they pass the puck around on PPs waiting for the perfect shot instead of putting it on net and making something happen. Henrik's kept the ship afloat, but that can't last forever. Keeping Nylander seemed like the right thing to do, but given that he's already out for the year you can't really criticize Sather for it.
-
They should feel fortunate they didn't sign Drury. He's been a non-factor all season.
-
The reporter is the biggest idiot in this affair. "Cain was mentioned in talks for Miguel Cabrera, they'll probably just trade him for Crede instead."
-
It's nice to see a team put up a little fight against the Wings for once. Bertuzzi body slamming Franzen, Pronger rearranging Cleary's face, 4 Ducks sitting in the penalty box together 5 minutes into the game, it's been a fun game. Charleston Chiefs is an apt comparison for today's game. You know your offense is in dire straits if 2 goals does you in. Can the Sedins be cloned?
