    Yeah, Hendry still being here is really my only complaint against the new owners so far. Granted, it's a big one, but beyond that I'm fine with them.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    What the flunk are you talking about.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    I really don't see Sandberg being the likely option. The team is too much of a question mark, and his lack of experience could easily turn into an ugly talking point if things go south quickly. I think the Cubs are praying that Girardi makes himself available to them (though I'm not).
  4. Sammy Sofa
    I'm think GB pulls it off, 20-17.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    I'm not worried at all.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    Yes, there is.

    Translation: "This team sucks and I don't need the headache." More accurate translation: Bob Brenly sucks as a manager.

    His numbers improved as the year went on and as he got more playing time. That seems to point to a player recovering. You couple that with his past history and that makes him a good bet to be a serviceable player next year if he can be had for the right price. There's little this year that anyone could draw from and make anything resembling a definitive conclusion in regards to how he'll pan out post-surgery, but I'd be willing to bet that certain trends make him a decent gamble if he can be signed on the cheap.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    If he wants that much then trade him. That's ridiculous. I really like Noah and wasn't big on trading him until that report, but if it's true it's no good.

    C.C. Sabathia's RS/9 average is 7.34. The Yankees score an average of over 7 runs a game for C.C. Sabathia. Felix Hernandez gets 3.76. I don't know how FJM selects their articles to bash, but this needs to be one of them Holy [expletive], that is infuriating. Whoever came up with pitching W/L is an [expletive]. What a useless stat.

    NO signs? He seems to be doing what you would expect from a player of his level coming back from that kind of surgery in mostly limited playing time.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Actually, it's not.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    You seem to be expecting too much for your bench players if you want to keep it cheap, and you also seem to think that Nady his hit his plateau in terms of post-surgery performance. Personally, I disagree, and if he can be had for a decent enough price I'd want to have him back. Veteran bench players are almost always scrap heap guys anyway, so someone who is a "proven" bench player is going to cost too much. Hey, Nady could suck next year, but he's coming back from a surgery that players tend to rebound from and he's still young enough and has a decent enough history that there's a good chance he could produce if he's willing to accept a bench role to build up his stock. I think he could easily end up hovering around an .800 or so OPS next year.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    Actually, he's shown a lot offensively over his career, should be fine defensively the further he gets away from surgery, and how has he shown he's "injury prone?" Nobody's saying they should dump a ton of money on him, but in terms of having a veteran bat who can play 1B and the corner OF spots you could do a LOT worse. If he can be had for cheap I'd love to see him back.

    I'm easily happy with 20 or less picks so long as he's throwing the TD's.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Gotta quote this before he realizes his mistake.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Part of me thinks he was just [expletive] with the interviewer. Nobody can truly love that many evil teams...can they?
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Of the four, Kosuke has a pretty comfortable lead in OPS+ and OBP. He's 4th in games played and third in PA. All four of them have had bad months, but I think Kosuke is the only one who people think of as having been bad for an extended period of time. Jersey, what do you think of the idea of the Cubs bringing Nady back for the bench next year? I don't know if he'd be willing to accept a deal like that with how he's come on late, but if he can be had for the right price I'd like to see him back.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    So Gonzalez officially declined to be interviewed for the Cubs' job? That stinks.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Yup, which is just another reason why the idea of trading Kosuke is a terrible one, and why Colvin will still get a ton of PA's even though he's not a starter.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    At least he had that epic double play tonight.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    He also had a bruised hip.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Or they could just blow up a gigantic pile of money.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    So, like I said, the death penalty doesn't deter stupid people. If it did it would seemingly be a simple matter to show how it works as an effective deterrent, but that evidence doesn't exist, so why would would make sense to conclude that it would deter "wannabe terrorists" when it doesn't effectively deter anyone else? But yes, let's go back to talking baseball in the thread about the failed bomber.
