Wow. Put me in the crow eating group that said we would never sign him.

Two Cubs in SI's/Bryan Smith's Top 75 Prospects
imb replied to Mephistopheles's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Quick, someone send this list to Sean Gallagher! -
If memory serves, I seem to recall him saying he tried steroids very briefly and couldn't discern a real benefit from them. If you ever seen House in person, he's tiny, maybe 5'7"-5'8" on a good day, from what I recall he might've been one of the 1st to try steroids to add velo and that's probably the 1st time he realized that maintaining flexibility is more important than adding mass as it didn't add velo. He believes in nutritional supplements to help speed up the recovery time between outings. That is exactly correct. You will not find your fastball in a weight room. Pitching is mainly a speed of movement activity. Weight lifting does not train pitchers to improve in that area. Juan Cruz is a good example of this. He is really thin, but he generates his velocity from his speed of body movement. Good mechanics with a smooth delivery and with proper timing is how you generate a 90mph fastball. r u a pitcher or sumthin

That's exactly what he just said, Mr. Echo.
-
I for one hope he plays another 15 years in the majors, none for the Cubs, though.
-
Relate to the matter as they drop the bomb, because they're House'n
-
Agreed.

I want Jose Reyes SS NY Mets By the way, KC, pm Tim and tell him to make us our own secret little forum for this league, and we can move all the draft stuff over there.

Sammy works out for Rangers
imb replied to sweetpeteman's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I don't have particularly strong feelings about Sammy one way or the other, but heres hoping that he kept himself in baseball shape. -
Uh, how does this trade make any sense
-
No one on the Cubs can dress
-
Huh? Lilly made 4 million and Prior made 3.6 last year. How do you figure Prior makes more. He barely even pitched last year? That was Lilly's last arbitration year. Prior is still in the middle of his.

Are we actually the favorite in the NL Central right now?

FLIP FLOP DEMOCRAT -
yes ma'am

vance ill trade you my first rounder and an autographed picture of me and tv personality matt lauer taken in waikiki for your first rounder pick
-
if lilly were in arbitration, he would make less than prior would.
-
negative i dont know what this means, his k rate has gone up every year since 2003. yes, its already been acknowledged how incredibly smart you are. move on now. slow your roll girlfriend, i was just pointing it out
-
sounds like the kent mercker appreciation league, im in
-

I agree. You really don't understand how the system works, do you? I know how the system works, was my response not detailed enough for you? I'll make a note on that and work harder to impress you. No, please, you're wholly unimpressive. I'll say it again, you're mad at Prior for asking for a raise, are you mad at the Cubs for offering him one? Why don't you take the question up with the poster who created the thread, I simply echoes some of his frustrations with Prior not being able to stay healthy. I realize you have obession with stalking me in various forums, but seriously, let it go man. What the hell are you talking about you crazy coot? It's a legitimate question.
-
I think you jumped into the wrong conversation here buddy. I replied to someone who said his k rate was declining.

I agree. You really don't understand how the system works, do you? You're mad at him for asking for a raise, but guess what? The number the Cubs offered is still higher than what he made last season.

he struck out more in 2006 in fewer innings than he had in 2005. His k/9 has gone up 4 straight years. and his groundball rates have gone down causing an expected increase in his home run rate. Uh, neat. All the guy said was that Zambrano's k rate had declined, which it hasn't. No one was talking about his gb% or hr allowed.
