Speaking of that list outshined, what happened to bullington and bush? -
The reason Lee's OPS skyrocketed wasn't so much the fact that he 'hit his prime age' as much as he closed a huge hole in his swing. He did it when he hit his "prime age". Do you think that players just magically get better in that 28, 29 area? That's the time when they start figuring things out, hence, closing a hole in his swing.

im not too down on this pick. maybe he really, actually did turn a corner or something this year. im excited to see him start playing.

Do you believe that he will hit like this for the rest of the season? i wouldn't be surprise if he puts up a .850 ops. lee & barrett became better hitters after joining the cubs, so maybe jones too. Didnt Lee and Barrett hit their prime with the Cubs too? I hope Jones puts up an .850 ops, but im not holding my breath. Jones is 31 and has only done that once in his life. yep, but both have had quite an improvement w/ chicago. lee's ops last year was 200 points better than his best w/ florida. barret was .655, .749 & .678 in his last 3 seasons w/ montreal. he's went .826, .824 and .868 w/ the cubs. Those bumps coincide nicely with the 28-29 year range, do they not? Jones? Not so much. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's far from likely. Players usually dont wait until they turn 31 to become useful. Here's to hoping though.

so you're telling me there's a chance

i keep getting to 5 or 6 and then i forget to pick. travis hafner going for 7 tonight

If Dusty thinks minor league hitters are the most dangerous, we should call these guys up immediately, god knows what kind of records college and high school hitters would set!
-
At his age, my guess is napping. I thought he drove trucks for a living? He's not napping, that's dangerous. He's probably drinking.
-
probably nothing. it's too easy to find a 1B better than sexson. your best bet is to hope he gets hot before the trading deadline, and then deal him
-
That was the first thing I noticed. Only 3 more walks in 2005 in almost twice the at bats. Maybe Colvin might become a better PRO, then he was a college player. I think, Colvin could very well be a very good---not a superstar---player for the Cubs inside of 2 1/2 yrs. I think he is going to progress that fast. Really? What about him makes you think that? Just curious where you're getting your inside info on his career.

He's similar to Alexis Rios, a player that has to hit .330 to have an even decent obp, great.
