    thank goodness i got to hear stephen a. smith's patented everyone is racist self-promotion last night on espn. i was dying to hear what he had to say on the subject.

    the amount of money the cubs will have invested in pure crap next year could really be used to pay a good player.
  3. abuck1220
    bad

    i haven't doubted your ability to correctly pick the 5th place finisher in the NL cy young race since you so shrewdly pegged don gullett for 5th in 1975.

    i was fine with arguing for rich hill's greatness before he was great, but i didn't think i'd have to continue arguing for it after he became great. i'd say you're being fairly liberal with the use of "great" here, and you know i'm one of rich's biggest fans on this board yeah, i was joking. though he was probably a top 15-20 starter in the NL...and that's w/o factoring in how cheap he is.

    rich hill for carlos gonzalez? come on.

    instead of trading arguably our most valuable pitcher to fill the OF hole, how about just signing someone to play the OF? that way we won't have a gaping hole in the rotation.

    yeah, it's gonna be hard for me to feel too sorry for arod now.
  10. abuck1220
    wow, last year's bill james thread has some classic rich hill arguments in it.
  11. abuck1220
    please don't trade hill for crawford.
  12. abuck1220
    well, other than all those losses.
  13. abuck1220
    good times all around. i was really looking forward to a golden era of FJM, and i really hope this doesn't prevent it.
  14. abuck1220
    arod's kinda a douche.
  15. abuck1220
    we'll make a friendly interweb wager on that.

    exactly. fukudome + hill would be better and cheaper than trading for tejada and trading/signing a SP to take hill's spot. We can trade for Tejada without including Hill. I'm absolutely certain of that. i think you're probably right.

    Because they pay for garbage. Just because you spend money doesn't mean you will win. really? thanks for the econ lesson. i would say "i wish my team would spend money wisely," not "i wish my team would spend less money." if they spend less, but still spend it foolishly, you're a lot worse off than if they spend a lot foolishly.

    why in the hell would you want your favorite team to decrease payroll?
  20. abuck1220
    the extra boost is only going to make the blanco, eyre, etc. contracts hurt more when the cubs are $5 mil short in getting arod instead of $20 mil.
  21. abuck1220
    it's kind of a winter tradition, so you'd hate to see it end.
  22. abuck1220
    that's fantastic news! now that i know the cubs have more guys (that's plural!) that will be in the top 10 in the NL in whip, k/9, h/9, k's, k/bb, i feel much better about the team's future.
  23. abuck1220
    and you'd have a third place team, at best. yuck.
  24. abuck1220
    i'm astonished hendry isn't hot for scott linebrink. he seems right up hendry's alley.
  25. abuck1220
    sam fuld's going to play on this team? for real? hendry better be bringing in 1963 hank aaron for rf.
