    No, not really. He's having to learn the position on the fly, he will make mistakes. I don't see how he's learning on the fly? If you're an OF and have played the game for any length of time you have seen flyballs coming at every position from just about every angle. He's probably caught hundreds of those type of flyballs in his lifetime. He just screwed up and dropped a ball that he should have caught. I didn't see the play but it sounds like a bad drop. But you're wrong if you think any OF has seen flyballs coming at every position from just about every angle. A flyball in RF looks different than one in LF. There is definitely an adjustment. It's just a shame they spent all of spring training with Jacque in right, Soriano in center and Murton/Floyd in left, and then decided 3 weeks in to completely flip flop everybody.

    Leaving aside the rest of your ignornace, are you really trying to say this game brings to light why the Red Sox dumped him? Wow, that's just plain stupid. That's more stupid than truffle trying to pretend Murton didn't have a great approach last year.
  3. jersey cubs fan
    The OF is in shambles. It would be pretty funny if they put Soriano in RF, and pretty much destroyed any notion of putting him in one spot and not moving him around. That would make all three of spots and 2B.
  4. jersey cubs fan
    Not really. Plus, he's playing out of position. Out of position? It's a routine fly ball for god sakes. Murton has no business in RF. Period. Neither does Floyd. We have too many LFers and no RFers. And no CFers

    stupid murton backers
  6. jersey cubs fan
    I don't see how he could be. I don't think I have the energy to be outraged about another destroyed stud arm.
  7. jersey cubs fan
    I honestly don't see how he could possibly be healthy.
  8. jersey cubs fan
    I don't believe it is, because it always seems to show balls right on or near the plate.

    I am a Murton backer and I'm right here.

    Have you ever had a measured reaction to anything? They called up Pagan because they assume he will hit LHP because he is a switch hitter yet was horrible vs. lefties last season. Again I say, this organization is a complete joke. I'll take that as a no. Please, inform me and my un-measured reaction, why calling up Pagan is a good move? He hits LHP no better than Pie, and is fraction of the defensive player that Pie is. If Pagan hit LHP well than I could see it. The key to the move is sending Pie back to AAA to play everyday. Pagan is far from ideal. But Pie had to get off the bench.

    I think he got a hit in his first AB vs a lefty. And then he tripled in an at bat against a lefty in STL. But that's about it.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    I wouldn't go so far as saying horrible, but I didn't think he looked particularly good. The way he hesitated in LF, he looked no better than Murton.

    a baseball clubhouse is not really comparable to an office-setting. drinking in the clubhouse is not the problem, it's alcoholism in general. they might as well just ban drinking in general for all the good this will accomplish. Alcoholism isn't the reason people drink and drive. The problem is drinking in a setting in which you are pretty certain to be driving afterward. It's like suburban strip mall bars. Providing beers in a home clubhouse pretty much ensures somebody will be driving home under the influence.

    The only stats I think that are known about Pagan against LHP besides this year's data is his major league data from last year, when he was terrible against them in 56 at-bats. Hopefully that was an aberration. His 2005 numbers are just as bad. Where are you finding his 2005 splits? http://www.minorleaguesplits.com/pl/434/434636NorILb05.html Not "just" as bad, but bad nonetheless.

    I hate people sometimes. It really pissed me off. It was a picture perfect night and the field looked beautiful. The Cubs just won. Why would you trash your own field after a win? The bolded part probably sums it up best. They are selfish people. They probably don't think twice about littering anywhere, the type of guy who unwraps his cigarette box and lets the plastic fly. They spent their childhoods being told how special they are and took it to the extreme later in life. All that matters is their personal level of enjoyment.

    Barrett, while he has been awful this year, and does occasionally irk me by popping up on the first pitch, is actually one of the more selective hitters the Cubs have. And that's a bad thing, since he's not very selective.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    .274/.314/.576 That's what Pagan has done against LHP this year. He sucked vs RHP. It's not great, but certainly better than Jones. Although, for his career, I think he's actually worse against LHP.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    Me no likey Pagan, but I'm on board with this move, if true. Pagan and Pie probably bring similar total value to the 2007 team. However, Pie's greatest value to the team is his future, which is only hindered by sitting on the bench.

    I hate people sometimes.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    huh? That comes from some asinine quote by Paul Sullivan: Sullivan pointlessly threw in Pie's numbers with 2 strikes as a reason why he shouldn't be playing.

    Marshall has been banged up quite frequently I believe. He started with the organization in 2003. He threw 86 innings that year in college, then 80 after getting drafted, doubling his previous yearly high. In 2004 and 2005 his seasons were cut short, as he threw just 80 and 90 pitches. In 2006 he was back up to 150, but finished the season with an oblique issue. And of course his 2007 started with health concerns. I think health questions are going to surround him for the foreseeable future. But everything about his minor league success suggests he can be an effective major league pitcher.

    I hate that he's such a typically predictable Hendry guy (tools, but bad OBP and low production in general) and that Hendry went out and got him when they needed a completely different ballplayer. I don't hate Jones. He's far more useful than some of the other bums Hendry has brought in. He's just not good for this team, since this team was so desperate for OF production in general, and more OBP in particular. The .300 average is completely meaningless and not even worth discussing. But Jones overall numbers have been bad this year. He had a brief hot streak that propped them up, but by and large, so far he's been bad.

    agreed on the offense. Derrek Lee leads the NL in average but is tied for 10th in RBI. That's the season in a nutshell That's as much a problem with Lee's SLG than anything else. He ranks 11th in SLG, and that's completely propper up by an unsustainable AVG. He went 20 games without a HR, and has only 1 more in the 10 games since.

    I'd like to see him benched because he can't hit lefties. But I don't like using the 9 LOB yesterday as the reason. That kind of thing happens. And you really can't kill Jones for that. His GM and manager should never put him in a position to do such a thing in the first place, even if Jones feels he should start everyday. You're talking about a guy who, over the course of his career, makes an out 72.5% of the time he faces a lefty. Making 4-5 outs in a row against a LHP is really nothing.
