    that streak wont make twenty.
  2. Mephistopheles
    this seems to be the most likely, who made it?
  3. Mephistopheles
    uh, why?
  4. Mephistopheles
    a ~4.00 RA regression for Demp. I'm thinking that's a little optimistic now.
  5. Mephistopheles
    i had them as a 92 or 93 win team going into the year, lee's regression and dempsters regression takes five or so off. i had already incorporated a KF rebound.
  6. Mephistopheles
    crap, disregard that houston pick.

    It's a reach and that's why I put him there. I figured with the Nats picking Strasburg they may reach on that 10th pick for money reasons, and rightfully so. Stassi should be in the mid to late 1st round. Anywhere from 18-27 or so. I don't think Wheeler has a very good chance of being there for the Cubs' pick. Mier can be, but he's a good candidate for the heir apparent to Derek Jeter the Yankees have been trying to draft for a few years now. If Turner isn't left on the board, I think they take Mier. Personally, I don't like Wheeler. Honestly, Raley just screams BEANE. However, the A's only have one pick in the first 90 selections, so I don't think cost will be an issue for once. He just doesn't fit the draft pick. He'd a be a huge reach for the A's, but it's not unheard for Beane to do that to take a guy he wants. If Poythress isn't there for Beane, he's going to take a very long, hard look at Raley.

    We're both wrong.

    the mets probably thought the same thing of oliver perez.
  11. Mephistopheles
    And your September impressions will be: It's a looooong way to go before the start of Cubs spring training. *sigh*
  12. Mephistopheles
    ~ Kevin Gregg sucks. ~ Our bullpen sucks head to toes. ~ Ryan Dempster isn't very good. ~ KF probably is. ~ Fonte seems to be a high 700s low 800s 2B legitimately, but no 3B. ~ Milton Bradley makes KW look like Cal Ripken, Jr. ~ Geovany Soto apparently forgot how to hit. ~ Derrek Lee apparently turned into Aaron Miles on May 1st, 2008. ~ We're not more than a 90 win team at best.
  13. Mephistopheles
    fwiw derosa is hitting .235/.309/.412 fonte is hitting .238/.351/.429
  14. Mephistopheles
    KF has played in every game this year, only one coming off the bench. Just giving him a day off against a tough lefty, that's all.

  16. Mephistopheles
    Longoria isn't in their class of hitting for power. I'd take Prince Fielder over him as far as pure sluggers go. Hell even his own teammate Carlos Pena.
  17. Mephistopheles
    Really, just plz bat Z ahead of Miles and Hill. Plz.
  18. Mephistopheles
    Why burn an option year on him (not to mention add him to the 40 man roster).
  19. Mephistopheles
    Our only option is to slide Koyie Hill to third at this point. McPherson's with the Giants and Marte accepted a minor league assignment with Cleveland.
  20. Mephistopheles
    Well, to be fair Dexter Fowler stole five bases today. They're currently in the 6th inning. He would have stolen more in the fifth inning, but he walked with [expletive] on first, so running isn't possible.
  21. Mephistopheles
    67 np for haren in 7 ip?
  22. Mephistopheles
    Wouldn't it be nice to have someone like Dallas McPherson or Andy Marte in AAA. At this point they can't hit any worse than Aaron Miles and they provide some upside.
  23. Mephistopheles
    We already had this convo in the game thread. I said it there, so I'll just quote myself... unfortunately though, this could be more than a one game thing. FWIW: Career AWPS against RHPs, .710 Reed Johnson, .707 Ryan Theriot. I'm jes sayin'
  24. Mephistopheles
    ... But seriously. Why not try to get someone like Soto streaking and move him up for a day?
  25. Mephistopheles
    and Ibanez just hit one.
