And some want him to play centerfield next year....ah jeez....that would be a disaster. But as others have stated, defense is grossly overrated in baseball. How many runs would a Vlad-arm on Jones save us over the course of a season?
-
DLee, one-armed or not, is never gonna have the patented "hit the ball into the ground towards the second basemen" swing that Neifi has perfected for damn near 10 years.
-
Faith. Faith hasn't carried this team very far in the past 98 years.
-
As bad as Mabry is, I really don't want to see more Neifi or Freddy. Maybe this will force them to *gasp* sign someone else or call someone up. Nah, thats just a dream.
-
Theres always broadcasting and coaching available to waste his time on. Don't feel bad for retired MLB players, they got it made.

Well...I'm not sure. They're both horrible. Lima 2006: 0-3, 14.1 IP, 14 ER, 8.79 ERA, 1.81 WHIP Rusch 2006: 1-5, 32 IP, 26 ER, 7.31 ERA, 1.56 WHIP This following a year in which Lima was 5-16 with a 6.99 ERA. I've never understood why some teams pick up certain players. Someone posted an amazing stat about Rusch that I don't clearly remember, but his winning percentage (sub 40% if I remember) is among the lowest in MLB history for how many innings he's pitched in his career. Basically he's sucked for a while, but people just keep giving him jobs.

Or Latin players in general? "I didn't make it off the island by walking. I did by hitting." -Vlad Guerrero Vlad can lean on the fact that he is one of the best pure hitters in MLB history, so he can get by. :wink:
-
Jaque Jones keeps his spirit alive and well, the prince of timely hits, and only timely hits.
-
What? Wasn't Mabry defending himself?
-
I love how Dusty likes to limit the importance of walks for our organization...yet they end up biting us in the butt every single time.

Cuban for Owner and Bob for Manager next year

Does Billy Beane have a brother? -
We got 3 today, but I'm still upset.
-
He had a pretty poor AB even when he had that bloop single that somehow took Contreras out of the game. I wonder what would have happened to Contreras if that blooper didn't fall.
-
Or Latin players in general?
-
Carlos Lee!
-
I would die if we get him. Somehow I doubt the Cubs dont have the trigger finger for it. And what makes you think Jones can handle center field and not be platooned?
-
Just remember folks, as Hawk Harrelson said: Joe Crede is the MVP of the AL right now.
-
I swear to god, He only hits gamewinners.
-
What exactly did Mariotti write about today? By the way, I find it funny that Hawk bashes him on the air. This is the only case I agree with that idiot. In a round about way he said AJ got punched because of his reputation for being a punk. I refuse to listen to the WGN announcers if I don't have to, but if Hawk did criticize Mariotti, he's got my respect.... for the day.
-
I wish I could hear it. Brenly is so much better, he awkwardly screams: "OHHHHH BABY!"
-
Oh my god Derrek Lee being out is only like a 3 game loss. Look at my math.
-
I didn't see it, but apparently Anderson went to town on him, and he fought back in true Tavarez style. You mean he karate kicked him? Whats with this hatred of Mabry? I hate him more than EVERYONE ELSE believe me, but he actually took Anderson to town from what I saw. Anderson gave a weak swing, Mabry ducked under it and drove him to the ground. Then they got covered with players, so I couldn't tell.
-
And if you flick someone off you get punched in the face. This is what happens sometimes. The middle finger in all of this is the slap and walk towards cubs dugout/helmet (that may have been misunderstood by Barrett)
-
Will we be able to see you on TV?
-
Has Anyone Started Watching More Sox Games?
