Another putdown by you. Nice. Perhaps the dense one is the one who can't grasp the concept that Pierre may help other players not named Castillo. So if you believe that, prove it. Lookup Furcal and Giles from 2002 to 2005. I must have forgotten that Furcal and Giles played on the Marlins with Pierre. If you believe that Pierre distracts the pitcher and helps the hitter, prove it, otherwise you're just spouting off uninformed nonsense. When I get the Marlins job I'll bat Cabrera 2nd and prove my point. so, in other words, you have nothing to back up what you were saying. It's ok, I dont think anyone thought you did. So you want me to look up several years of Marlins boxscores and find where someone else batted 2nd instead of Castillo. I'll stand by 100 years of baseball conventional wisdom. Castillo's just an aberration. I just want you to actually show something to back up what youre saying. I mean, anyone can say something like "When Pierre is on base, the batter gains the ability to FLY", but if they have no proof to back up that statement, then it's a worthless statement. -
You're the one saying that Pierre distracts pitchers. Where's the proof? And again you've completely missed the point about injuries. Hairston when healthy is Pierre's equal, yet no one is looking at his production and sees "leadoff man extraordinaire, if only he could stay healthy". Who cares about "when healthy." He rarely is, which is the bigger point. No, because the point isn't that Hairston would be a better option. The point is that nobody has suggested that Hairston, when healthy, would be a good leadoff option. So why is Pierre, a similar hitter, considered a good one? Let me ask you this directly. If Jerry Hairston could stay healthy and put up numbers in line with what he has done for the past four years, would you consider him the answer to our leadoff problems? If Mookie Wilson was still 28, I'd want him. Sorry, I'm not playing fantasy baseball w/ you guys, and if someone is going to give me a .350 obp leading off they better be pretty fast. Hairston isn't that player. He might get hurt on his way to second. It's a simple yes or no question. Do you consider yourselve "above" answering it? HE'S NOT PLAYING FANTASY BASEBALL, he's just living in one.

are you dense on purpose? He isnt saying that we need to make Hairston the leadoff hitter, he's saying that their rate stats are similar, and no one is calling Hairston a worldbeater when he's healthy. And you're the one that said that Pierre distracts the pitcher.

How does a .334 lifetime OBP solve the leadoff problem? Its not like Hairston had a breakout year last year or showed an ability to do better, his numbers were almost equivilent to his career numbers. WHY the lifetime stats??? :x :x :x :x Hairston's numbers last year were right on par with his lifetime stats. It is more likely than not that next years will fall right in line. I just don't see how a .334 OBP solves the leadoff problem. Neither does a .326, both players suck.

hahah you lost

im cheering for it to be over asap, so the offseason can start.
-
I think that if we actually start signing the right players, we might.
-
Yeah, .276/.326/.354, what a leadoff man.
-
Not to sound like a troll but, the Cubs should only do that deal if they believe they are one player away from seriously contending for the world series. That's stupid. We have the money to spend, we need to improve our outfield, and Giles does that. We cant dick around and make little piddling improvements until we get close enough to a WS that one player will put us over the hump. We need big changes, now.

Why not Bobby Abreu?

What makes you think Morneau can play the OF? You say it with such certainty, but he's never played the OF in the majors. -

you should have run full speed at him and then gone into a slide, only to see him dive out of the way.

spiderman is a ponce. "oh no, gee, i cant decide if i want to fight crime or hop on this hot chick, oh golly gee, im so torn, let me put on some linkin park and write on my livejournal" meanwhile Bruce Wayne is out blowing money, taking loads of chicks for rides in his six figure cars, and oh yeah, putting on a suit that doesnt make him look like a fairy, and kicking criminal A without superpowers. Advantage - BATMAN

All they are seeing is that Brian Giles is a free agent OF, we need Outfielders, and we have a lot of money to spend. the end.
