    Making the team better IMO is something that can last for more than one year. Burnitz has this year and maybe next year to excell and IMO he's a Gietti (sp) waiting to happen. I think if the Cubs get a solid offer (very good 22-25 year old player) or in a package for a Manny Ramirez type hitter it would make them a better team now AND in the future. I can't imagine Theo Epstein doing a deal to get rid of ManRam and replacing him with Burnitz unless the Cubs threw in other stuff to make the Red Sox better this year, including Walker, possibly Williams, and Dempster. The Sox want to win now, and going from Ramirez to Burnitz is not the way to do that. I'm almost positive someone else suggested this, but what if the Reds get involved: Cubs get: Manny, David Weathers + $10M Sox get: Dunn and Mercker Reds get: Hanley Ramirez, Shoppach, Leicester, Hill and Mitre. I think that's reasonably fair I say that if the Cubs sent Gerut to Boston, and we got salary relief past this year, that would be a pretty good deal. Can we send Hollandsworth instead of Gerut? :D ??? Just last week you said Gerut wasn't any better than Hollandsworth. Do you ever offer up anything of your own, or do you show up to contradict other people? It's cute and all, I was just wondering.

    Brandon, thanks for spending some time with us. Fun fact, for the past 3 years, I always thought that you were asian for some reason. It wasn't until I played with the Jaxx on MVP Baseball this year that I realized that you might not actually be asian. Do you ever play XBox? And if you do, do you create yourself (like I do) and make your ratings like all 99's?

    Adam, you currently lead the major leagues in on base percentage. Are you optimistic that once you return to the majors, you can keep your OBP in the .900 to 1.000 area?
  5. imb
    Yeah. "He looks like more of an average hitter to me, but there is some cream on his bat".

    I missed it, what happened?

    If you have enough time to sit around waiting for someone to answer you, then you have enough time to read one of the approximately 8 million Dusty threads on this board.

    Is anyone in St. Louis afraid of how old the team is getting? Edmonds-Still awesome, but it looks like he's tired, and years of busting his ass in centerfield seem to be taking their toll. Walker-Old, always hurt. Sanders-Old, good numbers, but when the decline hits, it should hit hard. Rolen-Not old, but lots of nagging injuries, including the dreaded "back" injury. Even the pen is old. Reyes/King/Tavarez/Izzy. It just seems to me that a lot of guys are getting old, and theyre all getting old at the same time.

    He hasnt played in a few days due to an upper respitory thing.
  14. imb
    Corey has an upper respitory thing going on right now.

    What? I think the Astros are just about the only team we care about right now.

    What I'm really curious about is, when Murton does level off, If Dusty moves to a platoon again, will Gerut or Holly get the starts versus righties?
  17. imb
    Should be pretty soon. The start+move up the order today was a good sign.

    Que? And whats with the hate for Manny? Sure he's a malcontent, but malcontents that play well are theoretically invisible. No way you can prioitize Huff and Floyd over someone with a career OPS over 1.000 Salary concerns? If that's true, why the hell is Beltran at the top of his list?
  20. imb
    no mas, senor.

    I said he was good. When did I call him Pujols? When did anyone call him Pujols? At some point he has to get playing time. Why can't that time be now since we have no better alternative? Because we're 2.5 games out of the Wild Card. Now is not the time to experiment. Now, if he keeps hitting like he is, I'm all for it. Just don't get to high on this kid too fast. We did that with one outfielder one time. I think his name is Corey Paterson. I know nobody called him Pujols, I was parraphrasing. It's not experimenting, it's playing the better player. You do watch the games, no?
  22. imb
    hes probably right.
  23. imb
    The way I see it, he's an upgrade at either LF or second base, and if it doesnt hurt us long term, I wouldnt turn down any deal that upgrades the team. Sure, we need more OBP, but if a guy that lacks OBP but has power is available, and is an upgrade, do it.

    THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS FAT, LAZY, AND STUPID. BUSH IS AN IDIOT. THE PATRIOT ACT SHOULD BE CALLED THE TERRORIST ACT. I HATE AMERICA. there you go
