  1. Hopefully someone steps over the line soon because Modzilla has an awesome avatar. Anyway, I don't see us getting a new shortstop any time soon, like, within this season. It appears it's Cedeno/Theriot, do or die.
  2. Mind you, that's a play that Theriot very well might have needed to dive at just to get to. As such, there's no guarantee he would have made an error. Better range gives more chances to make "errors." Is that kinda like how the best base stealers are also the ones who get thrown out the most? It depends. If their percentage is low, yet still have a high stolen base total, then they aren't that good of a base stealer. However, if they have a high percentage of success at stealing bases, yet acquire a high number of CS because of it, then yes, that is what it's like.
  3. I think the place you're thinking of is San Francisco.
  4. Incorrect. That is not the bare minimum of conclusions. The bare minimum of conclusions is to believe that these numbers that you outline are meaningless. What you present is the worst case scenario, that he will continue 'trending' downward in the later months of the season, which is problematic for the reasons that TT states.
  5. Ah; my sarcasm detector doesn't function too well when it's around 2:00 A.M. :D Either that or my sarcasm generator doesn't work to well. I prefer to think it's the former. :wink:
  6. obviously, it was a joke about that very trend.
  7. Hopefully Derosa is tougher than Prior or else we're in big trouble.
  8. Stay hot Reds44, stay hot.
  9. Sean you said something about Dunn's bat would be worth it even if he played in the OF with his back to the plate (paraphrasing). Still feel that way, after seeing how Dunn has hit down the stretch the last few years? One bad year dude. One. .808 isn't spectacular, but I really only see one bad year, er, two months. I'd much rather bank on that not being a legitimate trend then pass up the opportunity to get him just because he didn't do so hot the last couple of Augusts. Again, that being said, I don't think we'll get Dunn, and I'm not sure renting him for two months is worth the cost. I'd much rather get Nady and Lofton if it means that we can ship off Jones in the process and still have a cheap, semi-productive outfielder next year. By the way, I don't mean to say that the numbers you present aren't valid to the discussion, just to say they haven't convinced me that Dunn wouldn't contribute more that what we have. And, it's not like he would field any better when he's facing the plate anyway.
  10. The difference between a 798 and 800 OPS is practically nothing. Let's just assume that Dunn performs to last year's numbers, how does that compare to our current options? I'll take Dunn, thankyouverymuch. This discussion is pointless anyway, Dunn is 99% likely to not be a Cub come August 1st.
  11. Hey, isn't our season over? Wasn't it over 2 months ago genius? Oh man I just thought about that thread today. Pretty good stuff.
  12. Yeah, I was a little dismayed with his handling of the bullpen earlier in the year but he has been pretty spot-on with his decision making lately. I have no complaints other than I wish I would have been more patient with him in the beginning.
  13. Aaron Miles looks like a math teacher. I can confidently say these even though I am listening to the game on radio.
  14. Haha, the Card's radio PBP guy got all excited about that Edmonds FO at first. I was instantly pissed, then awesomely relieved.
  15. I'm finding hard to decide who is worse in less than 25 AB's, Kendall or Bowen?
  16. He shouldn't have been out at the Zero Gravity in St. Louis, all night yesterday. Was that just a reference to the Zero Gravity in Naperville or is there actually one in St. Louis?
  17. It's definitely Ronny Cedeno's fault if we lose this game.
  18. My love for Aramis Ramirez will never cease
