    More than Ryan Howard would, that's for sure.

    I think Jones is a better player than Mathews overall. I as well. Not to mention that Jones is making what, six mil next year? Matthews wants 3/39. JONES

    An article just came across the wire where the only thing Coletti says about Pierre is that he's a good character guy. For 45 million bones, you better believe I want a few more positives than that

    no such thing as a non-moron astro or cardinal fan.

    Not happening with the Cubs. He's played for three big-league managers and none of the three has been fond of him. His most recent manager was in the Cubs system as a coach. I'm sure they still talk. So no, he's not coming here. Bruce, we are going to need stats to understand what you are saying. No, I don't care about Batting Avg, HR's or even RBI's. Please help us understand what your saying with stats. All baseball executives are infallible. I doubt anyone has the stomach for that after 200 pages of it in the Soriano thread. Oh God, here we go. But if all of his managers disliked him, that is a consensus of opinion. And a consensus of opinion, while not statistically quantifiable, does mean something. Still, that production would have been nice. I won't be losing any sleep over this, though. I don't think TT started the smartass remarks, Cheesehead brought it up out of nowhere for the sole purpose of getting a rise out of people. His response was great. Oh, I know. My "Oh God" was in anticipation of the back and forth I thought was forthcoming.

    Gonzalez isn't an above average defender. spare me your frar crap and all those bush league stats that i dont care to look up. Gonzalez is a winner. Who cares about his ISOD i care about his HEART.

    im a firm believer that most baseball players are whores, and will go where the money is. we have a lot of money. you do the math. i think it can happen

    it is helpful for all players, but it loses meaning on the extremes. noone complains when a player has a .400 obp but has a .040 IsoD. similarly, there are ligit complaints if a player is batting .213 but has an IsoD of 100. Exactly, the Howie Kendrick/Mark Bellhorn example. Stupid people equate those that appreciate OBP with valuing walks above all else.

    People need to get over thinking that just because a statistic doesn't tell you the whole story, that it is invalid. Statistics are just puzzle pieces, they fit together to give you the big picture.

    if 2/30 is the new offer, why not just up it to 3/45 and see if that gets it done.

    For the record, I now like the DeRosa signing, and if Drew signs with Boston, especially for 4/48 and especially this early (he won't), then I won't be upset with Hendry. I mean, really, if you're JD Drew (I feel like Joe Theisman) who do you want to play for, a team that should be at least a playoff threat for the duration of his contract, or the Cubs? Probably option A, and if he wants to go there, maybe no amount of Hendry's money can change his mind.

    Peavy's health is a concern. The padres value Chris Young more than they do with Peavy. Yes, but you need more than 1 good pitcher to win and I honestly doubt they value Young over Peavy. Who is the one being traded? That's some of the worst logic I've ever seen. :roll: :roll: First off, no one is being traded. Not yet, anyway. This is all speculation and rumor. Secondovely (to quote David Cross) just because Peavy is being traded doesn't mean the Padres value him less, maybe it means that they want Saltamacchia, Giles and Ramirez, but the Braves would rather have Peavy than Young. Anyway, in conclusion, yes, it was bad logic.

    I'm going to go on record as being Down with DeRosa. Blanco? Not so much.

    If it's true that Jaramillo really did "fix" DeRosa, it might turn out to be a very good signing.

    [expletive]. we're gonna sign gil meche and screw this whole thing up arent we?
  23. imb
    So what? Soriano is probably worth 20 mil in this market. Zito 17. Doesn't mean we have to sign it. This can one of two ways, either DeRosa can play just like he did last season, for the next three years, and this signing will look great, and Hendry will be hailed as a hero. That isn't likely, however, seeing as how he 1.) is 31 2.) has only had an ops of .800+ once in 10 years of professional ball. Now, in a vacuum, this doesn't look terribly horrible. DeRosa might be ok, and it's only 4mil and a change a year, not too hefty a sum. Even if he goes back to his old ways, his contract wont keep us from upgrading, and it shouldnt keep us from going all out towards improving the team this offseason. But. In the big picture it continues to pain Jim Hendry as a guy that would rather overpay a little for a little, instead of overpay for a true difference maker, and that's what pisses everyone off. Glendon Rusch, Neifi Perez, Jose Macias, Mark DeRosa. DeRosa might be allright, he might even be good, but based on what we know about him, he will more than likely be bad, and if there's one thing we don't need, it's more bad players, and if there's one thing Jim Hendry doesn't need, it's to sign more bad players

    i detonated on test, jim hendry should come take lessons on closing the deal Good thing Hendry doesn't take your tests for you. unless it was an eating test am i right

    This is why you have to absolutely draft well and bring up your own, cheap talent, because if you get yourself in a hole where you need to overhaul your offense through free agency, you are in trouble.
