    Sure there was, take him to arbitration. Give him a reasonable contract and extension. Those are two. Here's another, not treat him like a rented mule and then insinuate he's a [expletive] to anyone that will listen. i agree that the cubs treated him poorly during his time here, but it seems clear to me that he had no interest in accepting a reasonable contract offer from the cubs.

    he's the anti-eli manning.

    You don't even know what it means. oh, leave him be...he just wants to be cool.

    oh zing.
  7. abuck1220
    i don't get it.

    that's quite a reach to count the same guy as three upgrades.

    people seriously bought jerseys/shirts with kosuke on them, not knowing what he was going to wear?

    looks like the evidence was pretty much spot on, actually.
  11. abuck1220
    wish i could say the same for you. but i've seen both these prior threads.
  12. abuck1220
    ok.
  13. abuck1220
    Well, that's not really the point. I would say, that to an awful lot of people posting here that legwork should not have been necessary. A lot of people considered your position ridiculous, and they were all correct. Maybe they were correct by coincidence, or 'for the wrong reasons' or something, but they were right. The difference being that IMB put out proof while many others put out an opinion just like I did. again, i had proof. also (again) your position was so ridiculous i didn't want to research it. yes, i thought it was hilarious. i didn't say that. i said you were wrong because you were wrong.
  14. abuck1220
    You keep thinking that. So, is it your position after all this that you were, in fact, not wrong? My position is that IMB did all his leg work. all right, i won't candy coat this for you. your position was so ridiculous, baseless and obviously false that i knew i didn't NEED to do any legwork. as nearly everyone in that thread pointed out, your claim was so absurd that i wasn't going to waste my time trying to prove you wrong (though i throughly enjoyed seeing you proven wrong by imb's work). if i said to you, "derrek lee hits .750 against pitchers with a U in their name," would you sit there and go through 10 years worth of game logs to try and prove me wrong?
  15. abuck1220
    Not really. it was a lot more proof than you had to support your claim. Not really. yes, really. you didn't have anything besides "i'm a high school baseball coach." not that it really matters who had more support since, in the end, i was right. No, IMB was right. He said in one post what you couldn't in 15-25. i said you were wrong. you were wrong. therefore, i was right. imb did show his work, however.

    i was right, wasn't i?
  19. abuck1220
    close enough.

    It's not all about 2008 though. If Pie gets that experience, he likely will be a better value than Murton by 09 (hit a little worse, but as long as it's only a little worse playing a tougher position with better defense will make up for that). i don't know if i agree with that though. my post was originally in response to this... which seemed to say that pie would be better than murton in '08.
  21. abuck1220
    that's why i'd rather have murton out there than pie.
  22. abuck1220
    actually, within about five minutes i posted prior's batting average against with runners on base vs. with the bases empty. since cuse's original comment was the prior faded after giving up baserunners, i'd say that refuted his position (that's not to take away from imb's great work, by the way). but, whatever, cuse = isaac newton, and i think the world's a better place now.
  23. abuck1220
    if both murton and pie get regular playing time this year (somewhere), i'd be willing to bet murton outperforms pie.
  24. abuck1220
    yes, truly, cuse deserves all the credit for imb's work. without his baseless assertion, imb's research would never exist. =D>

    you brought up at least four false/meaningless issues in one post...congrats!
