    lol, no Carlos Lee for me. Thanks for the help guys.
  2. bluestainedivy
    My thoughts on Lee are that he's a little underrated now because of this injury which shouldn't hold him back for too long. Plus. he should be more mature than other big name pitchers they've hired in the past. IMO, I also think CC is overrated. He's going to have to see plenty of Tampa and Boston...That being said, right now CC does have a higher value. Will he once the season ends? Pedroia and Roberts...there's no debate there. Now, in agreement with your argument I did draft CC before he drafted Pedroia and I also drafted Roberts before he drafted Lee.

    Hey guys, I need your thoughts on this. A guy in my league is needing pitching help. He's currently got Cliff Lee and Webb on the DL. He's told me he's interested in CC who I'd be willing to get rid of since he usually starts the season rough and is in the AL East. I'm also concerned with Brian Roberts at second base which is why I'm interested in acquiring Pedroia. Essentially, it would be Pedroia for CC and then Lee and Roberts would be secondary. I'm hoping that Lee's current injury status will equate to Roberts' Spring injury troubles. What do you guys think?

    The whole frickin' stadiums an amusement park...anything to keep you from watching the game.

    I'd have to say that DJ's more annoying to me. I don't think I've heard any more sunshine pumping than what he does, other than the astros TV and radio guys Milo included (I live a little out of the Houston area). During Saturday's game he spent almost a half-inning talking about how great a hitter one of the sox batter's was and he was only hitting .230+.

    Barry Bonds is a whole different can of worms.
  8. bluestainedivy
    You can't blame Barrett on Jim. He was a good pickup...if MB turns it around then you'd probably change your tone. That being said, JJ was a questionable acquisition. Maybe Hendry can work some of the magic he pulled when he got Lee and Murton and Nomar.
  9. bluestainedivy
    What, for the Sanford, Florida baseball hall of fame?
  10. bluestainedivy
    As disappointing as Barrett has been, that's simply not anywhere close to the truth. You're right, I went back an looked at Blanco's numbers and he's sub .200 with 0 HRs and 3 RBIs. I still like his defense over Barrett's. I also think he knows how to handle the pitchers better.
  11. bluestainedivy
    Is this really a lost year??? The Cubs aren't playing that great, but who else is in our division. The first place Brewers just got embarrassed last night. The concern may be with how we compete in the postseason, but if Wild Card baseball has shown us anything, it's that you just need some momentum going into the postseason. The Cubs are not out of it.
  12. bluestainedivy
    Brasky, I can't remember where, but I'd heard that Fox has been pretty much moved to the OF.
  13. bluestainedivy
    Izturis gets hit by a pitch.
  14. bluestainedivy
    Blanco is an upgrade at D, and right now (if he were healthy) his bat would be the equivalent of Barrett's
  15. bluestainedivy
    If I'm not mistaken it happened in the last Braves game. There was a similar situation in the astros game and last night. Our bullpen is righting the ship. Now our offense is not doing their part.
  16. bluestainedivy
    Like I said, HoF voters are very particular.
  17. bluestainedivy
    His postseason numbers are lacking... .234 AVG 2 HR 11 RBI http://www.baseball-reference.com/b/biggicr01.shtml
  18. bluestainedivy
    The HoF is not the question...it's whether he gets in on the first vote.
  19. bluestainedivy
    I do to...but that's what happens in a sports world dominated by ESPN.

    Alright...I've been discussing this issue on another forum. Does Craig Biggio make it into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot? Most people say that his 3,000 hits will make him an automatic first-ballot inductee. Bear in mind these people are mostly from the Houston area so in my mind they were pretty biased. That's why I decided to bring it here to see what opinions were outside the state of TX. So, is Biggio a first-ballot HoFer? I say no... 1) He played for a small market team 2) He struggled mightily in post-season play 3) HoF voters are pretty strict.

    Just got mine in.

    I seem to recall reading that Cherry was getting some good comments from Lou. I had the impression he was going to make the squad.
  23. bluestainedivy
    I'm tired of seeing a mediocre astro team make it to the playoffs and with good pitching and good fortune on offense have success. Fans here in the Houston area are bandwagon fans and don't know the least about being true fans. They have gotten too full of themselves. Early in the season last year I was listening to a sports jockey complaining about how bad the astros were playing saying that fans shouldn't have to go see such bad play. No one cared about them until September. At least cards fans are knowledgeable and not new to the scene. Roger Clemens is a media hound and I would love to see him end his career on a disappointing note (not to mention he went to texas university).

    I've been going at it with some astro fans down here in TX who contend that they were the second best team in baseball in '05. In my mind St. Louis had a better team overall, and in the AL the yanks, BoSox, A's, Angels and Indians would've competed with them if they were to make it to the WS. Houston had one of the stronger staffs in the MLB but their offense was extremely opportunistis. They also were one game away from a one-game playoff against Philly at the end of the year and struggled with Atlanta in the NLDS. Am I being off base here?
