    Cedeno and Bynum are sad excuses for human life.
  3. Soriano12
    get Girardi in here now. get this guy too http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c200/echoshade555/RLeeErmey2.gif

    Do you still need more analysis of why Bynum sucks?

    Lets go ahead and pencil in "closer" on the 2007 Offseason wish list.
  7. Soriano12
    Bynum actually scores
  8. Soriano12
    Bynum also fails to advance Pierre on the sacrifice.
  9. Soriano12
    This team sucks at life
  10. Soriano12
    I'm gonna bump this thread since so many gave me crap for bashing Bynum. This guy might be worse than Neifi. His 2nd baserunning mistake in the past week, he doesn't properly judge a Lee single, and fails to score from 2nd base, the go ahead run. Freddie Bynum. You are a bum.
  11. Soriano12
    Bynum is a bum get this joke off the team.
  12. Soriano12
    Bynum needs to score on that play..no excuses with his speed. This guy is Alou Jr.

    Those aren't all Wilken's picks, though. From 1989-1996, Tim Wilken was the Blue Jays' national cross checker: 1989: 19 - SS Eddie Zosky, Fresno State 1990: 22 - RHP Steve Karsay, Christ the King (New York) 1991: 16 - OF Shawn Green, Tustin HS (California) 1992: 19 - OF Shannon Stewart, University of Miami, Florida 1993: 15 - RHP Chris Carpenter, Trinity HS (New Hampshire) 1994: 28 - SS Kevin Witt, Bishop Kenny HS (Florida) 1995: 17 - RHP Roy Halladay, West HS (Colorado) From 1996-2001, Wilken was the Blue Jays team scouting director: 1996: 3 - RHP Billy Koch, Clemson 1997: 5 - OF Vernon Wells, Bowie HS (Texas) 1998: 8 - SS Felipe Lopez, Lake Brantley HS (Florida) 1999: 19 - 3B Alexis Rios, San Pedro Martin HS (Puerto Rico) 2000: 18 - OF Miguel Negron, Manuela Toro HS (Puerto Rico) 2001: 15 - OF Gabriel Gross, Auburn From 2004-2005, Wilken was a special assistant to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays: 2004: 4 - RHP Jeff Niemann, Rice 2005: 8 - RHP Wade Townsend, formerly of Rice Well if he was directly responsible for 96-01 that is a pretty good resume. 4/6 are(were) all stars.

    He can't seem to get RF down.
  15. Soriano12
    ah...found it. Toronto's first round picks. 2003 Aaron Hill 2002 Russ Adams 2001 Gabe Gross 2000 Miguel Negron 1999 Alexis Rios 1998 Felipe Lopez 1997 Vernon Wells 1996 Billy Koch 1995 Roy Halladay 1994 Kevin Witt 1993 Chris Carpenter 1992 Shannon Stewart 1991 Shawn Green Pretty darn good although he tailed off a little after Rios in 99.

    Certainly Latin Mangers have shown a unique "ability" to connect with fellow latin players. Given that our third baseman, while extremely talented, tends to "drift off" from time to time...I wouldn't mind a guy that could push him. I heard rumors that Alou was constantly riding Ramirez when he was a cub. Gonzales would come with a modest pricetag so if he turned out to be a dud of a manager, managment would be more inclined to move in a diff. directly quickly.

    Innings aren't the same as total pitches. If you have a guy throw 9 every game but he does it in 90 pitches, that's a lot less stressful than a guy who goes 5 every game but throws 120+. Liriano only had 5 outings with 100+ pitches, none over 110. I think the biggest mistake may have been having him start less than a week after he missed a start with elbow problems. He had as many sub 7 inning outings as he had 8 inning outings. I agree about pitch counts, but innings pitched is still stressful. Perhaps not as stressful, but who knows? Look no further then the South Side and their staff. Last year they had low pitch counts, but threw a ton of innings. Which may answer why their staff (with those same pitchers) aren't nearly as effective this year. Neither IP or P/S in a vaccuum are a good way to judge if a pitcher is being overused. Billy Swift would dissagree.

    Can someone post the Blue Jays first round draft picks from 1990-2002. Seriously...this organiztion is about as dumb as they come. But getting Wilken was money.

    I just recently joined...but I have to comment on how cool it is that Bruce joins in on discussions with us. I have always enjoyed his Cubs coverage.

    not really. dierker at least has some thought behind his decisions. So did Dusty doesn't mean either of them is right... I don't think Dusty does. I think he manages by emotion and intuition. . I don't even think he uses that. http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3867/801/400/dusty_dice.jpg That pic never gets old.. Never.

    Well isn't that what Dusty did in 2003? Dierker was never 25 games under, so we'll never know if that's true. Me personally,as much as I despise Dusty, I don't hold the pitch counts against him in 2003. 99% of managers would leverage that talent . The Twins are doing it now, so are the Tigers. The Twins seemed to have been pretty careful with Liriano, the Tigers with Verlander this season. And I disagree in regards to the pennant race. When you leave a pitcher in too long, you have to take account not only the end results this season (pennant race) AND his career. They took Lirano from a bullpen role early in the year and threw him into a starting role allowing him to go 7-8 innings every start. He pitched a total of 76 innings in June and July..thats on pace for a 230 IP season. Again..I'm not trying to condem them...but I would hardly say they were careful with him when the team got on a roll during those months.

    white players can't take the heat.
  24. Soriano12
    There is a diifference between leaving your starter in too long in a heat of a pennat race and leaving your starter in too long when your team is 25 games under 500.
  25. Soriano12
    Can Dierker manager again from a health perspective? Is there a risk? Does he want to take it?
