    He was also BA's #1 GM candidate last March. Count me as in. Yeah, Hahn's been pretty well regarded around baseball for a while now. I'd be a big fan of getting him.

    Your right he doesn't "quit" on a ball 20 feet from a wall, he just slows down to a slow trot on anything hit toward a wall so he doesn't get there to crash into the wall and plays it after it hits the ground or the wall. Sure, why not?

    Nice, our very own Guancous.

    I don't remember how long his contract is, but my hunch is that he's basically a caretaker until Kerry Wood retires as a player and moves into broadcasting. I'd bet money that Wood replaces Brenly (and that Kerry will be, unfortunately, awful). I wouldn't be surprised to see Dempster in the radio booth once he ultimately retires. How good or bad that would be all depends on how much he reigns in the Harry impersonation.

    Kemp loves the Whopper.

    It's more the "20 feet" thing. That's goofy.
  7. Sammy Sofa
    He doesn't.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, what an idiot for not wanting to leap/run into a [expletive] brick wall.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Hey, he's not dead yet.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Patience.

    Quick turnaround doesn't necessarily mean winning the world series.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Agreed. I've enjoyed him on the radio so far.

    dew is dispensing wisdom like it's going out of style. Listen to him.

    Older player, small sample size, numerous back-related DL stints. Likely (hopefully) pass.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Why are you talking about this like it even has a shred of possibil-...oh. Right.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    That's obvious.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    I agree with some of that, but the "infrastructure" thing still doesn't make any sense. If the Dominican Republic can have kids playing baseball then so can those countries.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    You doubt that China, India and Brazil have the necessary "infrastructure?" What the hell? Please explain.

    So has he surpassed Braun's seemingly insurmountable level of douchiness? Oh, God, no. Braun will always have the slight edge by playing in the Cubs' division.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    It's a [expletive] joy watching this kid play baseball.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Yup, that headline is completely accurate.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    It's really only ironic if it's coming from homophobic athletes.

    Presumably, hopefully, the guys who participated in the video are the kind of players who wouldn't have a problem with a gay player. We need more people like that in sports so that the fear of being exposed is one that eventually goes away. I mean, you said it yourself, professional sports are one of the least welcoming places for gay people, so isn't a good thing when you have professional athletes doing something like this? Unless you can argue that the guys in the video are running around the locker room screaming "I hope no [expletive] faggots are in here because I'll [expletive] them up!!!" then it seems like a step in the right direction for a part of society that's still very much in the closet. I mean, I don't understand your beef here. So you DON'T want them doing things like this?

    If Riggleman is to believed, it wasn't necessarily an ultimatum to extend his contract; he's saying it was an ultimatum to at least discuss picking up his contract after this season, and the FO refused to even do that.

    .262/.354/.458 career for a catcher (even including his "bad" 2009 and 2011 so far). In other words, not lousy. Given that the position is a weak around baseball, I would think that he would fetch a decent return. He's 100% expendable in my book provided we get decent return. Jesus [expletive] Christ. "100% expendable?" Congratulations, you've just created a whole at catcher to go with the one in the starting rotation, RF, 1B, 2B and 3B. Anything else we want to add on there? If the Royals offered you Moustakas, Hosmer and Montgomery for Soto, you wouldn't do it? I'm NOT saying that they would offer that but I am saying that unless your answer to that question is "No" then Soto should be considered available. Unless you put him out there and negotiate you'll never know. This team is going NOWHERE and any assets should at least be considered. That's a pointless hypothetical since nobody is offering a deal like that. The team is going "nowhere" this season, but can easily be right back in it next season with a good offseason. Blowing up the team sets them up to be bad for years.
