    For the record, that 99 reading was from what google showed me of a scouts.com article from October '05 that I didn't have access to. If anyone has a scout.com membership, here's the article. Right now, I'd have to believe the 240 was a typo. According to minorleaguesplits.com, here are his ground ball/fly ball splits: June (5 IP) - 4 ground balls, 2 line drives, 9 fly balls, 2 pop ups July (18 IP) - 12 ground balls, 4 line drives, 11 fly balls, 10 pop ups He had a WHIP of 2.20 in June, so he was really getting smacked around. Sounds like an interesting prospect.

    I happen to fully agree with Stone(I know, I blast him a lot), but you got a true SS, a switch hitter who doesn't strike out and a glod glove fielder vs 2 more months of Maddux. We already have two true SS's on the roster for next year. Switch hitting doesn't matter if the production isn't there. Cedeno & Neifi don't strike out that much, either. Neifi won a GG, too, and we already had him and don't have to pay an extra $4M for him next year. Cedeno isn't a quality SS and Neifi is a backup. What did you think you would get for Maddux for 2 months, along with a No trade clause?2002 - .232/.253/.303 2003 - .251/.282/.315 2004 - .288/.330/.381 2005 - .257/.302/.322 2006 - .252/.302/.353 He's horrible, he's making over $4 million next year, and the Cubs had to actually send over money.

    Stone must've beat Hendry to the bar.
  4. Jon
    In other news, the Cubs just bought 200 Zing Bats.
  5. Jon
    Hendry is rambling yet saying absolutely nothing.
  6. Jon
    he seriously did not say that. Dude, he topped a .700 OPS in 2004!
  7. Jon
    HAHAHAHA. He just called Izturis an "outstanding middle infielder." HAHAHAHA.
  8. Jon
    Muskat's previously article falsely stated that he had a 2.00 ERA for the season.
  9. Jon
    This could be the worst move Hendry has ever made. And that includes the Neifi signing.
  10. Jon
    This better be a joke.
  11. Jon
    Surprised? Really? All Hendry cares about is ceiling. What he nevers gets is anybody capable of reaching their ceiling. I prefer ceiling over Hendry's recent run at players with a very low ceiling but lots of speed.

    I'd rather see Neifi start at second for the rest of the season (and by see I mean not watch) than see EPatt called up. And I think we all know Fontenot isn't going to see any significant amount of time there.
  13. Jon
    I don't think there's anyway he's an "A". He may even be a borderline "B". IIRC, he was a Class "C" FA after the 2004 season. I wonder if that's due to playing time. His rate numbers certainly rank well with 2b-men. And Elias doesn't consider defense when doing the rankings. This is the scenario. Walker is bats well enough to be an "A", but the Neifi love diminished his playing time enough so that he became a borderline "B"/"C". ESPN.com's player rankings seem to think Todd Walker no longer exists for some reason, but I'd imagine that's the case.

    I've seen conflicting reports on his size. MiLB.com says 6'4'' 207 while message board post (a copied and pasted Peoria Padres roster) says 6'4'' 240. I'd imagine 207 is correct. He's a righty, by the way. Doesn't seem like a bad trade. Walker wasn't going to be back with the team without his power. The Padres need some OBP. Hopefully he does well over there. I'll miss him. He did a pretty nice job in chicago for not much money.

    Apparently Ceda has hit 99 on the radar gun in front of scouts. Can't find much about him, though. 23 IP isn't much to go on.
  16. Jon
    Ceda's stats in the Arizona League this year: 8 G, 4 GS, 5.09 ERA, 23 IP, 20 H, 14 R, 13 ER, 1 HR, 13 BB, 31 K Looks like he's been a fly ball pitcher in Arizona so far. He has a 1.22 WHIP in July.
  17. Jon
    Official, according to ESPN. They said it was for a 19-year-old pitcher. No name.
  18. Jon
    It'll never die:
  19. Jon
    Good, now go back to losing.
  20. Jon
    Dempster has only pitched 7 of the last 8 games. Gotta get him some more work...
  21. Jon
    Bah. Wells is getting roughed up. 6-1 Vegas after 4.
  22. Jon
    There's a thread about it in Transactions: Premium | Non-premium

    Jon replied to Chocolate Milk's topic in Other Sports

    Haha. That was great.
  24. Jon
    Negron's numbers are back down again. He had a .472 BABIP for June but is batting just .258/.303/.355 in July on a .320 BABIP.
  25. Jon
    His numbers are all pretty close together, whether it's none on, runners on, RISP, close and late, etc. It sure seems like he's had an abnormally high number of opportunities to win it with a base hit, though.
