    Honestly, Theriot sucks, and Cedeno likely does too. I think Cedeno, given 600 PAs or whatever, would probably hit better than Theriot, but not so much better that it's worth getting worked up over. Either way, I just don't like terrible arguments (age doesn't matter!) being used to prop up either side. One thing that I have thought of, though, is this. What would hurt the offense less, having Theriot's .325 obp in the leadoff spot (since Lou will hit him there), or having Cedeno's .300 obp in the 8 spot? I think that's a legit question.

    bad ass, thanks Dman

    God I love hearing Len and Bob. I cannot wait for this season to start.

    i'm 6'4 and i can do every dunk you can think of (not in the dwight howard category). You guys are an embarrassment to white people. Do some situps or something.

    why is this an issue

    i'm thinking that ronny will be hard-pressed to hit 40 doubles and 35 homers if allowed to play all year. call it a hunch. Yeah, I didn't deserve that. I said "8 spot" as in, if it means it knocks Theriot out of the leadoff spot and puts a guy who is a sure bet to slug better in the 8 spot, is it a good thing for the Cubs? Where in that post did I say that Cedeno would duplicate Soriano's numbers? Just snark for the sake of snark there. Don't worry about Truffle. He bought a baseball prospectus book, but he still can't shake his old ways.

    I'll set it up tonight in the meantime, it would be cool if you guys would post your team rosters for me.

    FYI these are all terrible suggestions. I know I'd just about wet my pants with excitement if Kerry Wood came out to close a 3-2 game with 40,000 fans cheering him on to Arcade Fire's mopey, whiny vocals.

    Whenever you guys are ready, we can close this thread and I'll set the rosters up on Yahoo. Then you can just fill your teams out with free agents.

    Yea, he might very well be the best right fielder in baseball right now. Uh, disagree? Player A: .295/.353/.892 Player B: .324/.403/.950 Guess which one is Hart Hint: It's the one with worse stats. Magglio had a higher OPS than Vlad or Hart last year, and if I'm picking a team right now, I take Hart over either of them.

    there's a video on youtube somewhere of him jumping over cars. its a shame he can't hit at all

    Ceda's weight and size has been much mentioned. A recurring question has been whether he has a weight problem, which could harm his career. (Weight problems tend to increase, not decrease, after age 21!) What was your impression? Is he huge.... as in having a huge frame, a dominant build, and is reasonably fit? Is his weight appropriate for his frame? In other words, "huge" as in very desirably huge? Or is he "huge" as in huger than he should be, as in fat, as in undesirably huge? I saw Mr Ceda during camp and "weight is an issue". He looks like Alf, minus the ump-battering belly.

    suck it, goony

    80 runs scored in 586 PAs is terrible. It's not a matter of it being his first season or anything like that, it's a matter of him not being good at baseball. Just because he physically can't hit for any power whatsoever doesn't mean that it's wrong to criticize him for not being able to. If you get hired to be an effective worker, and you're just not able to be effective, you deserve to get bounced, no matter what your job is.

    Whatever will we do without Murton's .800 OPS in our lineup? He's nice, cheap, filler, for anything someone gets hurt. Where the hell is he supposed to play in this lineup? I'd rather stick him in Iowa n case Fukudome or Soriano go down again and we need a replacement for a month than trade him just because he's not going to start.

    notice how there are no cubs on that list? high five everyone

    Tree? I was gonna say is that our Johnny from Champaign... I gotta imagine the amount of Johnny's in Champaign that read BP has to be pretty low. My thought as well, but I thought tree might be afraid that I know his name. yes that was me don't worry ssr, i'll learn your name soon enough is it jeff

    stay classy, jose

    Bellhorn! Oh, I thought this was favorite. Steve Stone.
  22. imb
    Agreed. I wonder what happens with Murton now? Package him in a deal for a lefty reliever?
  23. imb
    Am I to understand that everyone else except Law is pretty high on Vitters? I'd say so.
