    I was ahead of the curve and pointed out how he was back to sucking a while ago. I've been weeping ever since.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    David catches as many little league games as he can. Might as well get to knowing those prospects as early as possible.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    so ... rizzo without the defense ...is what that one article thinks he might be, yes.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    I wanted to like him because of the JWebb Nation [expletive].

    He's slugging .500 so far in the second half. July: .288 .403 .423 .826 August: .364 .545 .545 1.091 With 18 walks. Definitely trending in the right direction...

    Hahahahahahaah! That was awesome, Fred.
  7. Sammy Sofa
    Why? They came so close to seeing baseball history.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    Is he the worst defensive catcher in baseball? He has to be in the bottom 5 BR has his dWAR at 2.3 this year, which means they just REALLY love his arm (and to be fair, that gif isn't indicative of where most of his defensive problems have been) or it just shows how bonkers defensive metrics are at this point.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Thought it would be obvious enough how terrible that is without just going off of the deep end.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Wow, Latos managed an 8-inning-shutout with only 94 pitches. That has to be some kind of a record.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Man, possibly shut out AGAIN. What's the record for the least runs scored in nine innings?
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Man, the Cubs have only walked once this game. What's the record for least walks in a game?
  13. Sammy Sofa
    You're better than this.

    Considering that the world has only been tracking pitch counts for the last 20 years or so..... who knows ??? Yeah, surely it was a valid question in a game where the pitcher has thrown 76 pitches through 7 innings and not just the spastic flailing of That Guy.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Latos is on pace to throw about 99 pitches if he goes the whole game, you sweat-soaked ape.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    NUMBERS OF FRIGHT.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Wuss. 8.1 WAR in 2011 and a 5.1 WAR so far this year. His injury history is just going to make him more affordable. Me want.

    Masahiro Tanaka is a Japanese SP who wants to be posted this offseason. Raisin referenced him above with that WBC prospects list. I believe in another thread it was brought up that Badler sees him as a 2/3 starter. EDIT: To answer my own question: Tanaka Ellsbury Choo Abreu Cano Flip Ellsbury and Tanaka and Abreu and Choo and that's my list.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    yeah I was already moving my mouse to the "quote" button when I read your second line. Stupid devil-handed monster!
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Could Rizzo play 3B? I know people [expletive] on Aramis ridiculously his whole time here, but if he could do it, couldn't Rizzo? Or is he even slower/less mobile? Oh, right, dur, the whole LH thing. Stupid question.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Anyone who undervalues Rizzo is a fool, but in no sane world does he have a real chance of becoming a once in a generation/lifetime/whatever hitter. Abreu does. Am I saying it's even likely? No, probably not, but I'd love to see the Cubs take the chance.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Why do you assume that? Most of this board are aware of the value that Rizzo brings defensively (even though defensive metrics are still the wild west of advanced stats). Nobody would be "casting him aside;" so far the options are either trying to keep him on the team or trading him as the extremely valuable asset that he is. How is that just dismissing him? That's either hoping to keep his bat in the lineup or to dramatically help the team in a killer trade.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    To put it in perspective, in his prime, Dunn was so bad defensively that he usually peaked around a 3 win player (what Rizzo is right now). He had one 4.9 win season in 04 in which his defensive numbers were flukishly not that bad for some reason. I'm not sure Abreu is THAT bad in the field, but it seems plausible from what I read. Everyone knows how Dunn's defense impacted his value. Unless Abreu's value is SO bad that he can't even play 1B without it dragging him way down then I'd still rather they look to him to man 1B for the foreseeable future as opposed to Rizzo.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    I hate you so much right now.
