    Wow. You're not biased or anything. I mean, it's not like he won a World Series. He totally caused his pitchers to have freakishly good postseasons. Saying he's a lucky version of Hendry is an overstatement. He is not a good GM, and I would not be happy if he took over for Hendry. He what? "Caused his pitchers to have freakishly good postseasons"??? Explain that one to me, because I think every GM on the planet would like to know how Kenny did that. Sarcasm.

    DePodesta? The man that brought LA its second worst season since moving the franchise there in 1958? I understand why people are intrigued by him, but he didn't exactly perform all that well in LA. To say there are no other options is pretty shortsighted. DePo won the division his first year there and got rid of some lousy contracts. Then one bad year and he is gone. He wasn't fired for performance, but for personality and others' ignorance. He was fired because his team tanked and then he couldn't hire a manager Wasn't he fired in October? It seems rather quick to pull the trigger for that reason. I don't really understand the affinity for going out and getting a manager right away, especially if you're a guy like Depo who comes from the philosophy that the manager is just a middle man. If you hire Depodesta in the first place, you have to know that he's going to do things a little different.

    It never stops being funny. :lol:

    No thank you to Kenny Williams. He's the lucky version of Hendry. It's bound to run out some time.

    Baldelli's a righty and Crawford is supposeduly unavailable.

    it's going to be a heated battle between the Central and West next year for worst division. Right now it HAS to be the central IMO. Except for the Cubs, everyone has gotten worse or stayed the same. The Cubs still aren't -- arguably -- a .500 team, and if they are at .500, they're not much above it. I think the Padres & Dodgers will both be above 500 next year. I can't say the same for any two-team combo in the central.
  10. Drew Doughty
    Not to mention they can't play any of those three in center because of Slappy. Right. And they're looking at Luis Gonzalez. He is a bottom 5 GM in the majors imo. Let's see.... The Dodgers got Schmidt and Wolf The Cubs got Lilly and might get Meche Hendry's there too, don't worry.
  11. Drew Doughty
    I'd go to the Dodgers. Crappy management, but at least they have talent. And former Cubs. Vin Scully + Fox Sports West = win.
  12. Drew Doughty
    Hendrickson...now there's some dumpster diving.
  13. Drew Doughty
    Floyd shouldn't hinder McCarthy from making the rotation.

    chris carpenter through age 27 is terrible and about to have a major injury. http://www.baseball-reference.com/c/carpech01.shtml And look what happened. Little NL cookin', little decent lineup around him, and wa-la good pitcher. yes, after a major injury in which he missed a full season and completely rebuilt himself as a pitcher. seems like a good bet. I always thought *not* needing surgery would be a positive thing. Thanks for setting me straight. my point was just that, assuming lilly's elbow doesn't explode this season, his career path is about to diverge from carpenter. if carpenter proves to be a good comp, then a lot of really interesting things are going to happen in the next three years (rehab season, good season, cy young season, in that order). Meche* At any rate, I think his best comparable on his list is likely going to turn out to be Clement, though I don't think he'll turn out to be as good of a pitcher.
  15. Drew Doughty
    and 2003 prior And 2003 Wood.
  16. Drew Doughty
    But we got mauled by the NL West last year. nothx.
  17. Drew Doughty
    SOLID 29 innings? Quite a sample we have there. Against three mediocre-or-worse offenses too. Sign me up.
  18. Drew Doughty
    I'd rather not have the rotation complete tonight if Meche is the one that completes it. I wouldn't have minded one of Lilly or Meche, not both.

    Best news of the off-season. It got 5 topics, it's obviously a blockbuster! Anyways, yay, I guess. edit 1: make that 4 topics edit 2: 5 topics
  21. Drew Doughty
    I figured he'd be the highest-priced of the 2nd-tier free agents. Weird how things change ;)
  22. Drew Doughty
    They might as well give us one of them young punks in their outfield too if they are going to totally block them all. :D Let's combine our ideas: CHC gets: Penny, Ethier/Kemp/Loney LA gets: Jones, Marshall/Marmol/Mateo, Izturis Fine with me... :)
  23. Drew Doughty
    It is Colletti...maybe they need a crappy infielder to spice things up. Let's add Izturis. >_>
  24. Drew Doughty
    Found this sort of amusing; Rotoworld:
  25. Drew Doughty
    Cool, but how is he at pitching? ;) I dunno. I like Suppan, especially if he's going to sign for fewer years and less cash, but we would still need another similar-to-better pitcher to be serious about next year.
