    That's a lot of Joe Crede's the White Sox will be trading away.
  2. sneakypower
    They'll be sorely disappointed he isn't in fact, as good as Derek Jeter.
  3. sneakypower
    CPatt's still available isn't he? and compared to Hunter and Rowand, he'll be a bargain.
  4. sneakypower
    True, i doubt his stats are that good. Most of those seem reasonable though I think BP is too high on Fuku for this season at least and I bet Soto takes a year to grow into those stats. He is also deluding himself that last year was a fluke for Zambrano, I think Shandler is correct to expect a 4ish ERA with the downside of a 4.50+ ERA. His arm has seen too much abuse. The Marmol projection is terrible, he was lucky as heck last year but he isnt' a 4 ERA bullpen arm either. Bill James has always been terrible at pitching projections. if he had befell a season ending injury on august 26th, he would have kept a .288/.351/.376 line, and he wouldn't so much be considered the scourge of the Earth on here.

    But Roberts is left-handed....so to Jim, that might be enough to blow him away... Just sayin' is this joke still funny? he got a lefty to balance the lineup, i doubt it's still a big priority.

    My favorite name in hockey. I prefer to say it phonetically.

    I looked at the box score for this game, as I'm in a fantasy hockey league and was blown away by all the PIM. Also, Lupul with 6 pts- is he finally breaking out? Any thoughts to how many PTs he'll put up this season? I've had a revolving door wing spot that's currently occupied by Dustin Brown.

    Any team that has Aaron Rowand as their best hitter needs to be contracted.

    Jason Bay's a guy who mysteriously improved drastically after leaving the strict drug testing of the minor leagues. His career path looks like Bobby Higginson's so far. I'd still like to see what it'd take to bring him in.
  10. sneakypower
    I consider them to be winners in this saga, not signing Rowand or Hunter.

    Moral of the story: be careful what you wish for, you just might get it...

    Trading him for a career .254 hitter with uninspiring ISOs who's already at arbitration with FA upcoming in 09 is what I consider very little return. It's also been suggested we relegate him to AAA next year to give Mark Derosa fulltime RF duties, or to trade him for Roberts. There's not much support for Pie, but endless praise for Cedeno on here.
  14. sneakypower
    Felix Pie. I don't even know what this is supposed to mean. His situation is analogous to Cedeno's, only with far fewer chances to prove himself at the MLB level. He obliterated AAA as a 22 year old, yet people want to ship him out for very little return.
  15. sneakypower
    Felix Pie.
  16. sneakypower
    Those two should probably trade defensive positions.
  17. sneakypower
    The thought of Derosa as a starting RF for this team makes me nauseous. Displacing Pie to do so would surely make me heave.
  18. sneakypower
    So is this serious or "over-the-top-conceit-aren't-I-hysterical?"
  19. sneakypower
    i wasn't arguing with you in that post. my comment didn't quote you, didn't follow yours, didn't mention you by name. i merely threw their projections into the discussion, despite my skepticism of Hill's line, which i explained. all of my opinions are objective. what you're saying makes for a stupid argument. "he's a good baseball player for reason A, B & C" "that guy sucks." "oh, i guess i overlooked something. better go see where i'm wrong." "my work here is done." that's lazy and presumptuous.
  20. sneakypower
    Or perhaps your comment was much too vague.
  21. sneakypower
    Tell that to Chris Capuano.
  22. sneakypower
    Bedard is better at inducing groundballs, but then again practically everybody in baseball is. For what it's worth, Bill James projects Hill to have a 3.50 ERA next year, but he's always creamed himself over Hill. 3.70 for Bedard. Having superlative OF defense of Sori, Pie and Fuku would help, especially if he is lucky with his HR/FB rate, but I don't see him with a 3.50 ERA. He was only under 3.95 in one month last year.

    Izturis' name was noticeably omitted.

    http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/sports/stories.nsf/cardinals/story/9E04A758BD1CF235862573AC0018F0A8?OpenDocument Let's hope they do. They'll win 75 games instead of just 70, and have an even more bleak future. Mozeliak is oblivious.

    I've liked Baseball Between the Numbers so far, but some of the chapters are a bit of a stretch.
