  1. 4th Rnd. 37. Justin Verlander 38. Erik Bedard 39. Aramis Ramirez 40. Cole Hamels 41. Larry Wayne "Chipper" Jones
  2. was his defense really that bad to justify moving him to a position where he's pretty much replacement level?
  3. What David said. A lot of people, and rightfully so, don't think it's at all appropriate for a team with the resources of the Chicago Cubs to be content simply to compete weakly in a weak division and get unceremoniously shuffled out of the playoffs almost every time they get there. Ultimately, this team should be keeping up with Boston, Detroit, Cleveland, and the New Yorks in order to give ourselves the best chance in the playoffs. I don't think we're doing that.
  4. I can't even imagine what the look on Felix Pie's face would be if he saw this picture
  5. we should stretch him out at 2b cause you can never have enough of those.
  6. 25. Derrek Lee 26. Russell Martin 27. Joe Mauer 28. Brandon Phillips 29. Brian Roberts 30. BJ Upton 31. Derek Jeter 32. Corey Hart
  7. this thread now requires a picture of a lady in anguish while a javelin is sticking out of her foot and some word that means "to possess" written prominently on it.
  8. I would have left that part out. It totally didn't fit in with the rest of it.
  9. Sweet. It's going to suck when Meph starts charging for this stuff. ps: pecota likes dunn; james and zips don't think he'll be much to write home about. what does meph think?
  10. skyline chili sucks
  11. You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but I've never gotten that feel from Kauffman myself and it's widely regarded as a fine MLB stadium. Just out of curiosity, how many games have you attended there and on what dates? I went there once, last summer. Them versus the Twins, Santana started. It's not that I don't like it, it's that I think it's overrated. Sure, compared to the other stadiums of its generation, the Riverfronts and the Astrodomes of the world, it is the best of its class. But beyond being remarkable against a relatively unremarkable field, I don't see why everyone is so in love with Kaufman Stadium. It's average in every way. And that's what I liked about Kaufman, that it really was nothing special. Just a great place to see a ballgame.
  12. The Mets seem like a far more pressing concern.
  13. He's doing a mighty fine job of looking at the ball.
  14. why does everyone hate sean marshall? he's just an easygoing dude, that's all
  15. It's good news if he eventually sells the team. So, it's good news.
  16. lol. what a waste of a thread.
  17. The Muskellunges
  18. I disagree. Kauffman is a great place to watch a game, and while you disparage it by saying it feels like a minor league park I think that's part of it's charm. You don't feel like you're in a cookie-cutter megastaduim or a mall when you're there; That's exactly what it feels like: concrete, cold, and very little personality. It has all the downsides of a megastadium but none of the charm. I think it'll be a lot better after the renovation. Actually, when you look at it, it's remarkably similar to the other stadiums built around that period, except they tricked you by cutting out about a third of the seats to open up the outfield.
  19. To fault the people of S. Florida for not being avid baseball-goers at this stage of the game seems a bit ahistorical to me. We don't know whether or not Miami will ever be a good baseball town, but playing in an old crappy football stadium and dismantling the team every time it became good probably weren't two of the best ways to find out.
  20. In our keeper league, I picked your 16th ranked pick 8th, and your 8th ranked pick 17th. How did you determine these rankings differently from the other ones?
  21. 2nd Round 13. Grady Sizemore 14. Prince Fielder 15. Jake Peavy 16. Troy Tulowitzki 17. Victor Martinez
