    probably karma for voting against me in the eric young jr situation.

    i like that your scouting report was based on a still photograph. that's how bill james does it i'm pretty sure.

    Must be a Texas thing. Hopefully they aren't too attached during games. Kerry should be watching from the bullpen, while Cashner watches from the dugout 4 out of 5 games. Agreed. But I definitely don't mind Wood being a positive influence on Cashner. you heard it here first...positive influences on young players are good. you may be on to the next moneyball.

    [expletive] garbage officiating in the missouri/isu game. i hate missouri.

    Actually Ramirez and Castro are the only 2 that haven't reported. Soriano showed up recently. they're all part of the same big lazy mexican pile. whatever.
  6. abuck1220
    i think the pitching depth sucks pretty hard.
  7. abuck1220
    can't tell you how much i love that soriano and ramirez are the last two cubs to report. kaplan must be about to explode.

    tough call for me on keeping either j johnson or teix. seeing what's available for SP's, i'm kinda glad i kept johnson.
  9. abuck1220
    he got traded. maybe whoever has him now won't keep him after this season and you can get him when you have the #1 pick again next year.
  10. abuck1220
    Probably untradable due to contract, but it's not helping Samardzija's case. nobody wants him anyway.

    players --> stats --> timeframe --> year --> 2010

    enough with the bitching about NTC already. name one NTC that has prevented the cubs from trading a guy.
  13. abuck1220
    i'll just put eric young jr in my queue and call it a day then.
  14. abuck1220
    i'll be in mesa from 3/5 to 3/10, but i should have internet access while i'm there.

    http://www.livestrong.com/article/80930-gain-pounds-muscle-months/ This article disagrees with you. lot of science in that article. believe whatever you want. colvin didn't gain 20 lbs of muscle.
  16. abuck1220
    what the hell are you even talking about? he may have gained 20 lbs in a year. it wasn't all muscle. nobody's saying anything about PEDs.
  17. abuck1220
    i believe that he gained 20 lbs. he just didn't gain 20 lbs of muscle.
  18. abuck1220
    the most weight (not muscle) arnold gained in a year was 25 pounds. and he was a professional bodybuilder with incredible, incredible, mind-blowing genetics and a bunch of steroids.
  19. abuck1220
    it's not.
  20. abuck1220
    you said yourself you did the EY thing because you didn't like me. [expletive] right.
  21. abuck1220
    i don't really know how it leads to parity when the best teams get to keep 2,000 points in addition to racking up draft picks. meanwhile, the team on the other side of the trade also gets to keep 2,000 points and they lose draft picks.
  22. abuck1220
    but uggla wasn't entering free agency. a better example would be the cardinals trading pujols after this season. i have proposed a system that caps the amount of points you can trade. for example, you can only dump 700 of your points after the season. this would prevent teams from dumping 4 players and getting a ton of draft picks.
  23. abuck1220
    also, it's impossible to add 20 lbs of muscle in 3 months.
  24. abuck1220
    1) If I weren't able to trade, I would have kept at least Pujols. I carried his points every other year in the league. 2) Not sure why you're still beating this horse. Everyone else is okay with it. You're not convincing anyone. everyone else is ok with it because a) i'm the one opposed to it and b) you're the one in favor of it. everyone [expletive] their pants when i picked up eric young jr during the season, but everyone's ok with you trading free agents. i think it's safe to say a little bit of that has to do with what the league thinks of the people behind the ideas. and it's nothing personal against you. you've never prevented me from winning the championship, so it doesn't matter that much to me. i just think it's kind of a nonsensical system.
  25. abuck1220
    i selected my keepers, but it wouldn't let me drop the guys i wasn't keeping.
