    Topped out at 89 mph. I think, but I may have missed a few pitches. I saw one of his fastballs at 85. That's right, he didn't even hit 90. he hit 90 a few times
  2. Monco
    Thats why Dustys playing him at 2nd instead of short.

    If this was the late 70's they would have said Mario Mendoza.So Neifi has become the modern day Mario Mendoza.
  4. Monco
    Don't they say theres no such thing as bad publicity.I think it would be better not even acknowledging him.
  5. Monco
    I'm worried that once he puts Perez in there he won't take him out.If he gets 2 hits he may play 3 weeks straight.

    Too bad Dusty didn't think of it. What? And bat Zambrano in the lead-off position? :lol: I would have batted Z 8th in front of Corey in all of his starts in which Corey started. Zambrano .300 AVG .763 OPS Patterson .215 AVG .602 OPS Didn't Corey decide where he wanted to bat?

    At least he waited 3 games to get his boy in there.
  8. Monco
    Nah, he just dropped that ball because he didn't get his contract. Its distracting him.
  9. Monco
    His arm.
  10. Monco
    Mitres starting vs.Pettite.

    WAlker was not credited with an error this spring but he did drop a popup.With a runner at first he got the infield fly rule.
  12. Monco
    Murtons on pace for 162 homers and Scott Eyre is on pace to pitch 324 innings.With Dusty the second one is probably realistic.

    It looks ok.Its not overbearing or tacky.I don't see a big deal with advertising in Wrigley if they choose.The old parks all had advertising inside.The sign behind home is irratating but maybe on the upper deck or behind the bleachers.

    SI has an article about him in their baseball preview issue.

    I'm sick of hearing about having to sign Hendry,Baker,Lee etc. because the longer you wait the bigger distraction.Why aren't we worried about the games instead of the money?Perform and the money will work itself out.If these people are really distracted by their contract status are they really worth having?Obviously they have a problem focusing on what really matters.

    When a team is built on speed even when they aren't hitting well they are still able to put pressure on the defense.A fast baserunner gives the pitcher something to think about.Hes more likely to throw more fastballs.
  17. Monco
    I don't think that's the point. He's still better than Konerko so expect his contract to be in that neighborhood. The Cubs don't want him to become a FA and have other teams attempt to drive up the price. I'm sure some teams would be very willing to overpay so the Cubs will want to be generous without breaking the bank. The best time to do that is now. I would put it in Konerkos neighborhood also.Probably a little higher.

    Bonds

    Monco replied to B's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    Amusing or not fans don't have the right to throw things on the field.

    I try to ignore Ron Santo.He is the worst analyst that I can recall.He contributes nothing of substance.

    I believe everyone realizes this currently. However, many seem to believe it was a small percentage of players that "cheated" the system. We may find it wasn't a small percentage. Personally, I'm not pointing the finger at anyone...well sans Bonds, Conseco, Caminitti....those that have admitted to doing so. I'm also not defending anyone such as Nomar. We simply don't know. You're right that we simply don't know. 100 percent right. So then if we don't know, the allegations of people who have absolutely NO current link and NO evidence to ANY investigation are kind of pointless and stupid, aren't they? We simply don't know but we all are entitled to our opinions.I believe the majority of players are using some type of performance enhancer.
  21. Monco
    Intangibles are hard to measure.Does he bring leadership, is he a leader,teacher etc?Stats are an easy guage to use but are misleading without digging deep.We've all seen players who hits the 3 run homer when their teams up 5 runs but when its a close game he doesn't deliever.His hr and rbi numbers look good but he didn't bring the team alot.
  22. Monco
    Is Dusty really oblivious to the damage he does to his pitchers?Or is it Dick Pole and Rothschild advising him?
  23. Monco
    Not everyone uses steroids to build mass.Lean muscle,fat burning etc.Look at runners,bicyclists.I was gonna say his bodies breaking down from taking care of Mia.
  24. Monco
    107
  25. Monco
    I don't believe you can base this contract solely on last years numbers.You have to look at his career numbers.Can we expect those kind of numbers again?Does he?
