    whatever. youre a sabr guy, that means you play fantasy sports all the time, while crying about what a better gm you would be than jim hendry.

    Did they decide that Pedroia couldnt handle SS, or what? I have to think that his bat would be better than AGonII's.

    Hooray. Nonononono, you don't need any speedy hitters at all. It's a luxury and you are overrating it's value. WAY down the list of things you look at when determining batting order. Thing is, Walker is a superior hitter to Cedeno in every aspect of the game. Again, we want Walker getting on base and hitting for extra bases, not taking hittable pitches so Pierre can risk an out with his less than amazing stealing prowess, not bunting or grounding out on purpose to advance runners. You don't need any speedy hitters at all? So you think the Pierre/Castillo combo was crap? (I just showed how silly your point of view looks) Common people, what I'm trying to say is that a speedy WITH good OBP 2-hitter is better than a slow one. I dont need a Porsche. That doesn't mean that it's crap. I just showed how silly your post was. Bad analogy. A Porsche doesn't score runs. Can Walker make pitchers nervous when he gets on base? NO. Jesus Christ, give me a break. A Porsche doesnt score runs, thanks for the tip, I forgot I was talking about the BASEBALL PLAYING SKILLS OF A SPORTS VEHICLE. Oh wait, I wasnt. TT said that you dont need speed, that its a luxury, you said that he called it "crap" which he didnt, I was just pointing out that "flaw" in your comprehension "skills".

    where are you getting this from? His 80 major league at bats?

    the 2 hole hitter might bunt what? 15-20 times this year, tops? He's going to be swinging the other 500-600 times. Why do you rate "bunting ability" ahead of "not making an outability"?

    I'm not worried about Cedeno's OBP either, although, by the same token, I am not laboring under some Kool-Aid induced halluciantions either. Zips...... Name P AVG OBP SLG G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB K SB CS Cedeno ss .287 .332 .412 113 345 46 99 15 2 8 40 20 63 13 4 Hey Fred, do you have Furcal's Zips by chance? If Cedeno puts up those numbers, I'd be thrilled. Furcal's Zips is just slightly higher, I remember looking at it when they came out.

    Are you typing with your face? Im just seriously wondering what the hell is going on. I wasnt refuting his point, I was just pointing out that his posts get less and less understandable everytime.

    No. The grand slam game was Sun 24 July 05. Wow, for some reason I always thought that homer came much later in the season. Me too. I thought mid August. That was such a hilarious moment. Everyone was resigned to failure, and then it just exploded, hahaha.

    Was that during the St Louis Grand Slam series?

    Without looking it up, I'd say right now that I'd rather just have Walker, but if we're going on the assumption that Walker is going to be traded/relegated to the bench, I'd do it. Wellemeyer is a nice guy, but he's replaceable, and Freel has a huge head and looks really funny. Oh, he also gets on base.

    They need a new gimmick in my opinion, the hat thing is getting old. Go with the Sports guy, wear a jacket, unzip it to unveil a Maryland shirt. "Oh my god, the fans are going insane, he's a Terrapin!" Then rip it off to unveil your Penn State shirt, the whole thing could be covered by Jim Ross and whatever the other guys name is and it would be so much more entertaining that watching some dumb kid mumble out a few words before mercifully picking a team.

    Well obviously. You don't trade a guy with Simontacchi's heart and intangibles. You just don't. Or his socks.

    Hahahah, I am so in, I can imagine that thread going down in history.

    This isnt fantasy baseball, why dont you go kiss your moneyballs

    We're gonna have to move this soon, when Dunn gets traded to us, he wont be a rival anymore! All I know is that on Baseball Mogul, in 2009, Dunn hit .350/.500/.750 He had something like 60HR 170BB and 140K.

    I agree. LeBron is showing a maturity early on that is reminiscent of some of what made Jordan so great in the 90s. He's an explosive scorer and leader, but he also makes his team better. That's not to say that LeBron is Jordan or vice versa, but LeBron is impressive. Kobe is a dominant player, but I can't say the same praise about him. Lebron cant be Jordan, he's not the killer that Mike was.

    You're gonna just have to get over it, too bad buddy.

    He may be able to play everyday, but it would benefit the club to platoon him. I think it has about a 1% chance of happening, but to say that Jones shouldn't be platooned is ridiculous.
