    Latos is on pace to throw about 99 pitches if he goes the whole game, you sweat-soaked ape.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    NUMBERS OF FRIGHT.

    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.

    yeah I was already moving my mouse to the "quote" button when I read your second line. Stupid devil-handed monster!

    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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.

    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.

    I hate you so much right now.

    Failure here basically is the for real heroin-to-the-forehead-scenario.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Substitute "every money" for "everyone:"
  13. Sammy Sofa
    They should have no problem putting him into the lineup immediately. Even with an assumed downgrade from his Cuban numbers he still likely trumps Rizzo. Try Rizzo in the OF or trade him; whatever works. They need this guy. Fuckin' stupid NL and not having the DH.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    Just saw that too. [expletive] it, sign him, who cares. Yeah, seriously; who gives a [expletive] who he is "blocked" by? The guy has put up retardedly insane numbers. If this is actually happening there's basically no excuse to not throw whatever it takes at him to sign him.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Rizzo is my BF.

    Pretty safe to chalk this one up to stupidity: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/jack-clark-accuses-albert-pujols-justin-verlander-ped-171518294.html

    Of course he said that. The Cubs said variations of the same sentiment before this season and the last one.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Everyone here is regularly wrong about these kind of things, but man, when Meph was wrong he tended to be SPECTACULARLY wrong. It's oddly impressive.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    TEACH US THE MYSTERIES OF BABIP AGAIN, OH MIGHTY HONORARY DAKOTAN.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Yes to the second part. But I wouldn't call it trolling. He's making his point. He's making meatballish posts ridiculing advanced analysis and I don't actually think he's a meatball, so it's probably trolling. Pretty questionable that that's what is going on here.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Watch it, David's gonna show up to call everyone morons in a second.

    http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/250x250/37219526.jpg I kinda feel the same way; he needs someone as catastrophically bad as Santo to play off of. Moreland is just too mediocre.

    Daniel Murphy looks like a total sleazebag.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Because Barney has basically no upside if he isn't playing fantastic defensively, and he'll be 28 after this season. That you're seemingly lumping him in with Rizzo and Castro is...odd.
