    Also, I hate Doug Davis.

    This is ugly

    I'm definitely not seeing the same thing you are. 10/10 SB is pretty solid.

    Did Soriano just walk after going down 0-2? I can't comprehend it.

    Hanley Ramirez is probably not the best example to choose for this argument. IIRC he's pretty widely regarded as a poor-to-terrible defensive SS. That's why I chose him. You chose a SS that probably shouldn't be playing SS to prove the point that Castro should stay at SS? I'm confused. It's not that difficult. Hanley is still a very valuable player because of his offense at SS, in spite of his terrible defense. Castro won't have that kind of offensive value - but he's still above average. He has a smaller frame and better range, his athleticism and range is fantastic. Castro's defense will be more valuable, especially when he improves on routine plays - which comes with experience and improved footwork. On top of that, Castro will certainly improve in both areas, he's only 21 years old. Isn't he the youngest player in the majors still? You can have your flaws but the premium on the position gives you leeway for them. If Castro doesn't improve over the next couple years you make your move, I don't see that happening though.

    I don't think they've ever liked his act and have been sick of it the whole time. But as soon as he starts hitting more fly balls and normalizing his BABIP some they will love him once again. It's very rare you sell on a 27 yr old superstar. Plus him heating up throughout the rest of the summer will somehow be attributed to the return of Jack McKeon and everyone will be hunky dory down there.

    I don't buy that Castro is gonna get too big to play SS. It's not like he has a huge frame - he's 6'0". You can't just pack on pounds and equate it to power. If Hanley Ramirez can stick at SS at 6'3" 230 then Castro shouldn't have a problem. Castro at SS should just not be tampered with. Edit - What the hell is up with Hanley btw? .593 OPS?

    I didn't know Dunn's #'s were that bad this year.

    I'd like to forget about that song. And the Dixie Chicks. I had forgotten about them. This has been a painful reminder.

    Baker/Flaherty works for me if Prince is at 1st.

    Anyone got a link to the video? I'm failing so far.

    I think its not that he would snub toilet life, but more so that he would need his Depends for moments of uncontrollable colonic episodes.

    PedoBear with the photobomb!

    Someone wake up a mod to merge the 2 Barney threads.
  21. tfarks
    Most definitely.
  22. tfarks
    Yes.
  23. tfarks
    Yeah I don't have any hope of Maples being signed. Everything I've seen has said will be tough to get away from UNC. Would sure be nice though.

    Lord is he fat and ugly. 5'11" 280? From Perfect Game

    The Cubs have had fantastic success with Carlos Zambrano. They have yet to turn him into a white guy. Hahahaha.
