marshall, marmol, or a trade. yes, but what trade? Z for Ervin Santana and prospects? :lol: Well that only replaces one pitcher. We are still in the same spot. Hill/Lilly/Marquis/Santana/whocares 8-) I care, I want Adenhart as well. :P He's not going to be pitching in the majors this year. But yeah, he's gonna be good. Even if he conitunes to dominate at AA? I'd be concerned with the number of innings he's pitched. He only threw ~150 IP last season (~50 in 2005). He's got great stuff, but you don't want a young guy's arm to fly off.

I want good Barrett back.

Jones is locked in.

Thanks, Blue! You're the best.

Can we get blue to not screw us over at 2B? Get in the right position to make the [expletive] call.

Thats below average overall. Anyways your starting SSs in the majors all grade out as above average range for the most part, remember that. Yeah, I realize that SS usually have above average range and arm strength (referring to ML average). But a lot of them make a ton of stupid errors which really detracts from their overall value defensively. Wood won't get to as many balls as a lot of ML SS, but he doesn't make many mistakes with the balls he gets to (from what I've heard - defensive stats in the minors are next to worthless, IMO). But anyway, Wood's offense will more than overcome his below average/average play in the field, so it's not a huge issue, IMO. CPatt is a very bad comparison for Wood. He had hardly any time in the minors. Harvey never came close to putting up a decent BA (or OBP) in significant ABs. His skillset and eye at the plate are obviously no where near comparable to Wood's skillset. Wood posted a minor league BA of .285 (.353 OBP) even with his loopy swing and inability to zone the plate (both of those problems are very much teachable/learnable at the ML level). I can understand why some people aren't as high on BW as I am, but he seems like too good of an athlete with decent IsoD skills to worry about in the same manor as a Harvey/Patterson.

BA disagrees with you. Thats a pretty damn big assumption. Not really. He has a couple problems that could dramatically reduce the number of strikeouts he racks up if fixed.
-
An above average defensive 3B (average defensive SS). Once he gets past the ML learning curve, I expect a .300/.365/.550/.915 line fairly regularly with about 20-25 SB per year (~80% success rate). This kid is going to mash. He strikes out way too much to carry that kind of average. Whut. Would you have said Derrek Lee wouldn't have been able to carry a .300+ BA just by looking at his minor league SO numbers? His strikeouts will go down. I don't expect him to K 150+ times a year except for maybe the first couple of seasons.

Cardinals Pitcher Josh Hancock Dies in Car Crash
RichHillIsABeast replied to ManCrushOnNomar's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I feel sorry for Hancock's friends and family, but not for Hancock himself. I'm just glad this idiot didn't hurt/kill another human being with his ridiculous stupidity. -
POW!!! Cubs win! Cubs win! Cubs win!
-
hahaha Murton hasn't proven himself at the ML level yet. He's hitting .301 with a .368 OBP. With no power...
-
ohman's going to get yelled at.
