    yes, thankfully we can finally put an end to that debate, which has consumed the board for weeks. Thank god, tensions have been at an all time high around here, mostly due to that 50 page monstrosity of a thread.

    I think Atlanta would laugh us off the phone if we offered Jones+Gallagher for Saltamacchia. I doubt Jones+Veal gets it done too, but I'd take either deal.

    Don't try these jedi mind tricks on us, pal.

    That's a pretty dumb argument. The fact is, he's hitting almost .250 with more homeruns and RBI's than our entire outfield. I don't think you understand what he meant by that.

    Haha, Miami is just giving up.

    It's just an old philosophical term that Aristotle used for untimely deaths.

    I don't know, I consider it cheap when someone misrepresents what someone said in order to make a point of their own, but that's just me.

    When reading that, I don't want to make any early assumptions but...... How the hell do you die from rear ending someone? Unless it's some kind of gruesome Final Destination type thing. What? It said it was on the highway. Think of how fast he would have been going. Ahh, I guess I didn't catch that.

    In other words, look the eff out when his luck evens out. Ehh, a low babip happens when a lot of your hits are going out of the park. Even with all the home runs, Sammy's probably just a .250 hitter anymore, so unless his power goes out, his babip will probably stay low.

    There's no way someone can say a player will never be traded. Anything can happen in the future. Good thing he didn't say that. Seriously, do you even read the things you reply to? He said there's almost no chance Samardzija will be traded, and I'm saying there's no way one can say that so early in his career. Yes, I did read his post; I just left the word "almost" out of my reply. He said there's almost no way he's ever traded (doesn't he have some sort of no-trade clause?), and you replied with "there's no way someone can say a player will never be traded. Which he didn't say. You didn't just leave the word "almost" out, you replaced it with a word with an entirely different meaning, it was a cheap thing to do.

    I'll take sample size for 500, Alex. I'll take "Theriot has an unsustainable babip" for 1,000,000

    I don't think people always assume that a player will repeat his worst year. I think people felt that way about Marquis because he's a guy who has gotten progressively worse the last three years, in basically every statistic you can come up with. This regression or whatever you want to call it sort of climaxed in an absolutely terrible, should not be in the majors, season last year. I think the season was just so bad that everyone assumed he had lost all concept of what he was doing. It would have been different had he been a really good pitcher that had a bad year, but he's really not much better than average, at best.

    Over/under on how long it would take for Stoneman to hang up on Hendry? I say 0.28 seconds. Angels are one of those teams who like players that make contact. It's about the only reason he's not on the major league team at this point. Actually he is on the major league team.

    Weird, I wonder if someone is after a player that had targeted in the second,, then.
  17. imb
    Well he did do something.....he lost millions of dollars. Not only that, he still gets stuck with a crappy team. LOL, yeah that's true. He'll have his work cut out for him that's for sure. Players on truly bad teams not only have to play well, they almost have to develop themselves. Quinn is going to a half decent situation. He'll have Joe Thomas and Eric Steinbach on the left side, and Fraley in the middle is pretty good too. Braylon Edwards and Winslow are decent targets too. If Jamal Lewis isn't dead (I think he is) that offense has some potential, especially in the second half of the year.

    Well he did do something.....he lost millions of dollars. And he did it without jumping out of a window on live tv, he certainly fared better than i would have.

    Awesome deal. A receiver will be there at Cleveland's second rounder. Great deal, Jerrah! Dwayne Jarrett looks alot better in the top of the 2nd than he did at 22. Hell, at this rate, Meachem might still be around.
  20. imb
    Because he just bent Cleveland over.
  21. imb
    Yes! We got the first and second, what a great trade.
  22. imb
    WHAT WAS THE TRADE SHUT UP MORT
  23. imb
    Hold out for a second this year and first next year. There's plenty of value left on the board and we have no motivation to trade out.

    Chris Duncan is amazingly bad in the field.
  25. imb
    Landry? I wish Washington didnt get him, too.
