    He'd be a #1. I think it'd be tough to take the #1 spot from Zambrano, but damn would that be a problem I'd like to have. I don't think Z will be the Cubs best pitcher this coming season. :? Hmmm...Lilly? Rich Hill 8-) :D

    Respect is gained when they kick your ass. :lol:

    Helton is such a great player though...lol.

    Is this your first superbowl? Um, no. We showed up 1 day earlier than the Colts. 1 day wasted, IMO.

    The media circus is pissing me off. Get your butts on the practice field or in the video room. The Bears are coming off as just being happy to be there.

    Where'd you snag that from? I didn't Tivo it. :cry:

    No pitchers gained through FA are going to be a bargain. But Howry and Eyre could be both easily moved w/o eating salary. Probably true. The market is sky high right now, and Howry had a good season. Eyre wasn't particulary good(.800 OPS allowed) but the market always overvalues lefties. Eyre was pretty good when he wasn't injured (or nursing a boo boo or 2). If you look at his splits he did great until then. Eyre really needs to get in shape. I think he dropped 20+ lbs this offseason. We'll see. The guy was happy to work under Dusty and Larry b/c they didn't make you run a lot... :lol:

    I might go along with your line of thinking if there was no doubt that the organization itself had zero to do with those injuries. Overuse is well documented. Pitcher abuse is well documented. The injuries suffered by these two starting pitchers are related to overuse. I can't just quickly excuse Hendry from these injuries when one considers that there is a very good chance that they could have been avoided. How did overuse lead to injuries? Prior had some fluke injuries. Any injury to a pitcher (his weren't minor) affects your delivery and mechanics. Bad things resulted. Overuse didn't help, but I doubt it killed his arm. Giles and Hawpe took care of that. I don't blame the Cubs for Prior. Woody may be a different story, then again he could have been damaged coming out of high school. Lots of organizations lose pitchers, we just happened to lose two high profiles guys. I wouldn't say the Cubs are worse than other orgs. It just seems that way b/c of the guys we lost.

    The problem is he doesn't have any accomplishments. Yup. 2003 was crap. So was 2004. He accomplished to construct an 88 and then an 89 win team, that in the end accomplished nothing more than one playoff series win. So, I guess that's what we have in the accomplishment category, one playoff series. 4 years, one series win. A sub .500 record. Yay for lowered expectations. So the A's didn't accomplish anything until recently? Right on. Well, they did a whole lot more than win 88 and 89 games at the best. They didn't win many playoff series, did they? That's how you measured the Cubs success. Let's see the A's lose their two best pitchers to injuries and make the playoffs, much less post winning seasons. Glass half empty I guess.

    Yes, Helton's contract really is that bad.
  16. RichHillIsABeast
    Because Helton is very good at baseball. So are Mark Prior and Kerry Wood - and they don't have ridiculous contracts. Edit: Actually Helton's played in a lot more games than I thought. but his back is still horrible. It's not going to suddenly get better. dude's power has really disappeared.
  17. RichHillIsABeast
    Why would the BoSox trade away quality? Helton's contract (and back) is so monsterously bad, the Rockies should be happy just to eat some of it and get a B prospect in return.
  18. RichHillIsABeast
    Pfff, that wouldn't have dented his pocketbook in college.
  19. RichHillIsABeast
    Wow. How much punishment should Pirates' fans have to take?

    I'm glad our front office can communicate with its players.
  22. RichHillIsABeast
    Thank you. And it is worse if you want to say Hendry started in 2003. The key point which all of you are forgetting here is the correlation. For that data, the R^2 value is 0.0249 and the R value is -0.1578. Those low values show there is a very little linear relationship for the data provided. Don't spoil this for him.

    Samardzija didn't even pitch seriously in college. He threw in games and threw a couple 'pens on the side. I wouldn't read too much into his K rate.
  24. RichHillIsABeast
    Because he has to come off that medication to pitch and if he comes off the meds, he'll have a blood clots.

    Nice, one of their miracle toys gone to the AL. Works for me.
