I don't see them breaking it down by which team he was with, BR.com does have that broken out and it looks like the flukish (and ridiculous) negative fielding rating all occured with the Indians. Dejesus isn't any better than what Fukudome was with the Cubs. Colvin was the one who sucked balls out there for the Cubs. -
I think it does less than with the other two, but you've got a giant field, usually with grass and outdoors, and all sorts of bang bang plays that can be seen so much clearer with a quality HD broadcast. Basketball's relatively small controlled environment doesn't really seem to benefit to the same extent.

Colvin sucked balls, Fukudome wasn't any worse than you could expect Dejesus to be. ?? I'd expect DeJesus (2.2 WAR) to do what he did last year and Fukudome (-.2 WAR) was way worse than that. A 2.4 WAR difference between the two is significant. I see Fukudome doing much better than that with the Cubs last year.

We've got HD now so any video of Pujols should hold up really well over time. I really wish the Jordan era had happened about 10 years later. Or that TV had been 10-15 years ahead of its time. I think the recent improvements in HD and television in general do a hell of a lot more for hockey, football and baseball than they do for basketball. What do you really think it adds to NBA?

This is so weird...why would the Cubs even be bothering being involved when they're almost surely not going to match those years. And it's not like they can drive the bidding up any higher than the Marlins already have. Who knows where the actual figures for those deals are? It's not like the media pegs it exactly every time.

He's a short-term answer in your mind because he's only signed for 2 years. He's a valuable asset because he's relatively cheap and under team control for two years. If he signs an extension tomorrow that takes away any semblence of short-term but his relative value will decline since he'll have guaranteed money. Your circular logic is circular.

STL isn't going to give him a no-trade clause. They don't need to... he already pretty much has one, doesn't he? yes

baseball people are so freaking dumb

Pointless semantics. In this case, "value" and "status as an asset" are interchangeable. Because it's the only way you can try and defend your pointless stance?
-
That much space is not dinky anywhere.
-
A player's value and his status as an asset are two different things. The fact that he won't be cheap in three years doesn't pertain to the discussion.

Jerry Sandusky every Christmas morning? -
Some middle age city worker up here was wearing that hat while raking leaves the other day. I was kind of confused. Although I guess he kind of looked like he could have been related to Heath Bell.

Vancouver has already done an east coast swing this year, plus they have a longer one coming up in December and again in January. In early February they have a trip where they head as far east as Nashville, then after a brief stop home head out on another trip that includes Nashville again, plus NJ. If you take away some of their Chicago/Detroit/Nashville/Columbus games, and add more LA/SJ/ANA games, it probably comes pretty close to offsetting the additional trips east.

Unless the Bulls win. You're right, I can't argue with the numbers. You know the ones like attendance, where mls has surpassed the NBA. I hate this silly argument. NBA teams have 41 home dates and an insane amount of playoff games. They also have much more expensive tickets. The fact that some MLS teams can sell 25,000 seats to their 15 home games doesn't mean they do better in attendance.

No, it's reading exactly what he said. He should have played in the good old days because he actually cares. No, it's reading too far into it. No matter how absolutely you claim it isn't. You people aren't very good readers if you need it explained in black and white for you.

I kind of don't like Sveum. It's not like he's saying it about some slap happy grit box. I like those things too when great players do it. He's saying that today's players don't care about winning and don't care about their teammates. Sure it's a compliment and a positive attribute of Fielder, but saying that isn't too far off from all the other idiotic baseball musings by old timers.

That's a fairly loose definition of tradition. FSU didn't have much of any history until the late 80's. Obviously they had a tremendous run, but I wouldn't exactly call it a traditional powerhouse destined to contend. Miami has a similar timeline, although it goes back a few years earlier. Their talent base for recruitment should allow them to contend with regularity, but lots of people caught up to their style and compete for the same talent, and their futures are hardly guaranteed.
