    OHMY GAWD, how could they trade Dewon Brazelton?? He was Tampa's #1 prospect, you can't trade a guy like that!! He was at the top of BA's prospect list, that is the bible, they're never wrong. Tampa is stupid and overpaid. :roll: if youre going to be insane, at least be insane in one thread, instead of letting this garbage spill over into other places it doesnt belong. I see that sarcasm escapes you. No, the sarcasm is exactly what i was talking about.

    That is a very REALISTic point of view

    Ideally we'd be able to put that in every spot, but considering that we aren't low on players that can slug(Lee, ARam, Barrett), I'll take more slugging from the guy on our team that will get the most PA's. So why not hit him 2nd? That would be a better balance. After all, as the argument goes, a leadoff hitter is only once per game. If it were me, I'd put Walker and Murton 2nd or 6th. but then who hits first? I was operating on the assumption that we land Pierre. If things end up as they are now, the best possible lineup would have Walker and Murton 1-2, but I think we'll end up with one of the 4 "leadoff" guys that are out there. oh, i assumed that we were arguing about walker's leadoff merits because we were seeing if he was a better leadoff option than Pierre. If Pierre is on the team, I guess you hit him first and Walker second. Though, if things play out like last season, id rather do Walker first, Murton second and Pierre 8th.

    I think yes, if there is an abundance of slugging. In Walker's case, he doesnt really have enough to be a serious run producer, but he has enough to consistently get himself into scoring position. Hes not going to steal bases, but he has doubles power, so he can get himself to second base that way. Or you can look at it like since he has doubles power, you could hit him 2nd or 6th and drive in your better OBP options out of the 1, 3 and 4 holes. who are the better obp options?

    TODD WALKER HAS MORE AT BATS AT THE LEADOFF SPOT IN HIS CAREER THAN ANY OTHER SPOT. HE IS NOT UNFAMILIAR WITH THAT ROLE. Sorry for the caps, but this has popped up several times, and it's completely false. but hes white and slow

    You guys can't be serious. Honestly. 1998. Playoffs. Relatively mediocre after that, excluding a sort of run at the playoffs in 2000. 2003, Playoffs. Relatively mediocre after that, excluding a sort of run at the playoffs in 2004.

    I have enough of a memory to remember Don Baylor, Andy MacPhail and Ed Lynch. they accomplished as much as this current regime has, too.

    It's more than tiresome, I can't stand it. Some people have the memory of a goldfish, and have the art of knee-jerk reactions mastered. The memory of a goldfish? Cant say that I've ever heard that one. You did, you just forgot. what were we talking about?

    Can Billy Baseball really play second base? I kept hearing about moving him, and I know (think) he played some there in the past. Why wouldnt this move have been made already? It's not like he has the bat for 3rd base anyway.

    ok aramisfan, we get it.

    well, at least there's a 50% chance of me not hating the cubs. 1 out of 3 doesnt equal 50% :P
  21. imb
    That's what it was like last year in KC, too. I didnt see one Colorado fan there the entire time, Im pretty sure they dont have fans or something.
