    Why should i have to expand? It's well known around here that when I say something it should be taken as fact. Duh!
  3. Mephistopheles
    Yes
  4. Mephistopheles

    He didn't look washed up to the people that were actually watching him play baseball. He looked washed up to the folks that were just staring down a stat sheet. Scouts 1, Sabers 0. actually smart people like myself noticed that the poor line was due to a limited sample where one prolonged cold streak was over-represented in his overall totals. he had been perfectly fine in the weeks leading up to the trade. so its really only 0 points for dumb people

    Why did they do the smart thing? I thought it was horribly stupid and lame. Not just because they completely set it up for a four team playoff, but when was the last time four teams from major conferences all finished the regular season unbeaten? I know there were five unbeaten teams in 2004 but Boise State and Utah aren't in major conferences. i didnt expect you to understand.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2992872 Hot. And ESPN did the smart thing on their predictions.

    I haven't touched that team in the longest time. I really haven't need to. I clinched a playoff spot weeks ago and I pretty much have clinched a first round bye. (I need to go 0-10 and Lunatics has to go 10-0).

    The reporter should have said "Oooh burn I was called a [expletive] by a wife beater. What a hypocrite." Of course Myers would have gone on and killed the reporter via a bat.

    Dunn or Griffey. Who knows maybe we can try and pry away Miguel Cabrera....though we'll need a lot more than Pie. Manny's name is always out there. JD Drew could be, if you're interested. It doesn't really have to be a RFer. We do have Murton, Jones and perhaps Floyd next season. If we can find Pie for a reliable elite lefty out of the pen or package say Pie and Marshall for a starter, it could achieve the same effect. Honestly, I'd be content with Murton/Jones in right if I can't get an elite RFer like Dunn and trade Pie for a real catcher, a real SS, or a real SP (screw you Marquis)
  11. Mephistopheles
    Pie could still be above average in RF, but he's not even close to the value he would have been in center. In other words, we'd be better of dealing him to a team with a surplus of corner outfielders than keeping him in right.
  12. Mephistopheles
    Thats the wrong question. The question shouldnt be what Fukudome and Pie would do compared to each other. You have to decide what youre going to do with the resource not used in each. For instance, if you grab Fukudome you can likely trade Pie and get a good player for 2-3 years who is under-priced (arby possibly etc) and fill another hole as well as CF. If you stick Pie in CF, the price saved thire and the money not grabbing Fukudome would go to shore up another position. The question then comes down to whats the difference between Pie and Fukudome in runs per season. Then, whats the difference in value between the price of Fukudome spent on the open market this fall and then the trade value of Pie. The question is NEVER just one player or another like this. Of course Fukudomes the better player. Theres no question there, but which is a better deal for the team? It depends on the market price for Pies services. Im not a Pie fan, so obviously i dont think hes worth much and the trade market for him appears to be pretty good, so Id deal him if I could get Fukudome.
  13. Mephistopheles
    Fukudome's skill set has more saber upside and he's not near the risk pie is. its not as if we cant trade pie for full value. we can probably sell him for $1.50 on the dollar, but Jim's too stupid to do it. What is it that Pie can do that Fukudome can't? Steal bases. (though Fukudome can just doesn't) What is it that Fukudome can do that Pie can't? Control the strike zone. Which is more important?
  14. Mephistopheles
    Because our centerfielders have combined for a .246 EqA. Fukudome's EqA translates in the .290-.310 range and he has elite defense to compliment it. In other words, if you don't have a top five or so CFer in the game, Fukudome's a good fit. I'm not so sure he doesn't belong in the top five either.
  15. Mephistopheles
    He's a perfect fit for the Cubs.
  16. Mephistopheles
    ? He did and hit .328/.430/.590
  17. Mephistopheles
    So... Perhaps a somewhat more successful Matt Murton? He plays GG caliber CF defense. A lesser version of Grady Sizemore is more comparable. I think he can hit 20 home runs. Chunichi's park is the equivalent of the Petco when it comes to hitting homers.

    screw all this id take corey patterson 2003.
