Yeah, those would look great with a pair of jorts at a nascar race. Please tell me no one is actually thinking about wearing these.

Another Middle Infielder: Who is he?
imb replied to wilk's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I actually like that. I also like Neifi over Tomas Perez by a long shot. If we have to have an extra crap MIF on the roster, I'd rather it be one without any kind of "reputation", so the manager doesnt feel the need to play him. -
Sounds crazy to me
-
I want the impact bat. We haven't come up with one of them on our own forever. Hello, Ryan Harvey anyone?

Oh, right, the information gained from nine or so innings that he has thrown against a collection of minor leaguers, with some major leaguers tossed in. Is it the 1.44 WHIP that excites you? San Diego is in luck, I mean, Termell Sledge is now a HR hitter. It's not who he's facing. It's that he's been able to consistantly throw the ground balls. He's been able get groundballs for exactly 9 whole innings against players, many of whom will not be in the majors this year. Tell me you can tell the difference. He's locating his sinker well, who he's facing has no bearing on his mechanics, or his location. Tell me you can tell the difference. Even if he is, he's done it for nine whole innings against a collection is sub-major league quality. You dont think it's easier to pitch against guys who arent very good?

He has succeed through nine whole spring training innings despite giving up too many baserunners. It means nothing so far. You can point out his low ERA (and I will just point out that he isn't pitching against major leaguers all the time) and I will point out that he can't even have a decent WHIP against these same hitters. Either way, it's nine innings in Spring training, it's meaningless. I have no problem saying that he might be ok. I think its far more likely that he's terrible, though.

Wrong? Hendry did a terrible job at constructing a team that lost 90+ games, how were people critical of his moves wrong? They were wrong about Jones. Stick to the subject. Wrong about Jones for one year. Still a couple more left to go, so lets not go patting ourselves on the back yet. If he plays like last year for the next two years, I'll be happy. He wasn't great, but it's better than I expected. As for Marquis, he was a contributor for the Cardinals last year, just like you said. Of course, he was absolutely terrible for them, so im not sure what you're saying there. He didn't say that-he said that he was a contributor 2 out of the past 3 years, which would be referring to 2004 and 2005. Oops, I saw it as "a contributor for the past three years", my bad. Still, I don't get what's so offensive about predicting a player will continue his downward trend into awfulness. Do these people do this for every prediction? Do you not fill out an NCAA bracket, because you don't know what's going to happen? "Ohio State should win the tournament!" "They might not, though!" Well no kidding, thanks for the revelation.

Of course it doesn't. But that's not the point at all. ok, so what is the point? The doomsday predictors don't know as much as they think they know. I love how everything someone says that they think someone will be terrible, someone else shows up to say that they "might not". Really geniuses? You're telling me that there's a chance he might be bad, and also a chance he might be good. Well, gee, that sounds, almost like every other player in baseball. Marquis last year was as bad as Pujols was good. If you start a thread about how Pujols is going to be great this year, I'm not going to come in the thread and say "Yeah, but he might be bad too! You dont know as much as you think you do!"

I don't think that ERA is a very good predictor of success if looked at in a vacuum.

taking a while?

:evil:

Has anyone checked out this Danny Payne guy? He's a junior CF hitting .404 with 25 walks to 8 strikeouts through 57 at bats, good for a .583 on base. Georgia Tech can turn out a hitter.
-
we want wieters
-
why did you only draft cubs and former cubs? seriously, thats like 80% of your roster.
-
Well, we just got a shot of Colvin in the outfield today. If he added twenty pounds in the offseason, he must have weighed around 115 pounds last year, because he is still skinny as hell.
-
Well that's a backhanded compliment if i ever heard one.
-
I really want Wieters, but im afraid things are gonna go Price/Wieters/Brackman. PS I used to be on the Price-train, but i've looked at Wieters a lot over the last couple weeks, and I'm in love.

Maybe time to take a run at Ichiro?
imb replied to LuckyPup's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
No. To the original trade idea and to Ichiro in general. Unless Ichiro hits .330, Murton is probably a better bet to put up a higher OBP% and he will put up a higher SLG, all while doing it for much cheaper. Come to think of it, why are we even discussing this? -
Eckstein in the seventh round!

thank god someone said it

If you're talking 2007 drafts, it has to be LT. You could make an argument for Reyes or Santana over Pujols and Lebron isn't close to No. 1. Of course, I don't know anything about Hockey, so maybe Crosby is Michael Jordan or something.

Here you go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N5MbTdfJTw Wow. That's gotta be one of the plays of the year. It has nothing on this one against Arkansas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ5dh2wpTw4 look how far up his head is
