Dusty-esque.

What's the reason why it won't work now but it worked in the old format of NSBB?

Hahaha =D>

i like these two. basically there are question marks about the cubs' veteran guys, but the white sox guys are young so the're just guaranteed to be better. never mind that john danks got drilled with the big club last year. or that gavin floyd hasn't looked very good the last three years. maybe we should just insert gallagher and samardzija into the rotation, that way it'll be a tie since young unproven guys are automatically better than average veterans. FTH?!?!? I think the bullpen comment is the biggest joke. I love our bullpen with Howry, Wood, Marmol, Weurtz, and probably Hart.

The bullpen is going to be solid this year.

Who said the quote in his sig? Rotoworld?

IMB!, I love the quote in your sig. Who said that? Rotoworld?

I think it's supposed to be a joke. I hope...

I'd rather have Wood, then Marmol, then Howry, then Dumpster.

:lol: hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha AHHAHHAA I'm so glad he's gone! :yahoo: :yahoo:

Double post.

First of all, they forgot about Aram... No way Vazquez is better than lilly. Is there bullpen and back of the rotation good? I don't know much about the sox.

Falling through a sliding glass window...sounds like the freak accident that would normally happen to us.

Thanks.

It's not the only fact that matters. It's one of many that are important. But basing things on one season of data isn't a great idea. In 2006, Soriano had a 351 OBP to Roberts's 347. It's not a certainty that Roberts will get on base more often than Soriano. That's not all it shows. It also means, that if Soriano is leading off, he is able to get himself to scoring position via HR, triple, or double more often than Roberts. That in itself is a value. The beating out of ground balls is already figured into each players' performance in OBP and BA, and we've already dealt with that point. It adds nothing. As far as stolen bases, Roberts's 50 of last season out performed his career best by 14. It's quite possible that he'll only steal 35 or so which is much closer to what he's done his whole career. That would be very close to Soriano's career average. And even if the leg injuries suffered by Soriano last season have lingered and he steals only 20-25, the added doubles, triples, and homers still put him a greater liklihood of scoring than Roberts. Patience isn't really measured by K-rates. You would need to look at p/pa if you want to make that argument. Roberts does do that better than Soriano as his p/pa for 2007 was 4.20 and Soriano's was 3.67. That also was a career high for Roberts. His avg most seasons has been around 3.95 or so, and Soriano is usually around what he did last season. While it is an edge for Roberts, it isn't a great one. While Roberts will make the team better, it isn't because he's a better option at lead-off than Soriano is. The Cubs don't need a lead-off hitter. They might need more good hitters. PWNED

I didn't see this posted anywhere else. http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080216&content_id=2375649&vkey=spt2008news&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc I'm guessing it's just to break up the lefties.

Yeah I'd love swapping brew crew for royals.

Admittedly, that one would make my "ignore" list. Mine as well.

I don't get it...how does the screenname "Ram my fanny" have anything to do with Aramis? Does this have anything to do with what Izturis did to him in the dugout? Hahaha nice. =D>

Haha there's a good way to look at it.

I'd be happy if he was ready by the beginning of 2009.

Please don't be inconsistent again this year Z.

Here's to Soto having another breakout year! :yahoo:
