yeah, theriot's ability to play centerfield (??) has been paying off big time lately.
-
cedeno at ss, theriot at 2b, derosa in rf. scary as it sounds, that might be the best the cubs can do. they need to upgrade this offense.
-
i can't complain...at least he didn't go to somebody i'm fighting for a playoff spot.
-
lots of high scores this week. pitching carried me this week...60+ points from my pen and 120 points from hill, guthrie and smoltz.
-
if you think the cubs are going to continue to win games by dribbling grounders through the infield, you're in for a disappointment.
-
this offense ain't winning the division.
-
that would have been a strike in 1926.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 7-22-2007

umm...sorry, but jacque jones has rolled a couple twenty hop ground balls between infielders lately, and we all know that's going to continue. -
yeah, this offensive strategy of getting one guy on, having him steal a base, and then having the guy at the plate roll the next pitch through the infield on 16 hops isn't going to cut it.
-
but floyd is from chicago. does that help?
-
Not Theriot. ok...everyone on this team has, at best, warning track power.

I dont see how well Cliff plays RF has to do with how well Matt plays RF. Matt didnt play well in RF. Maybe hes better since getting starts in Iowa but in the majors he wasnt very good. and if the cubs can live with floyd staggering around out there like he's got a wooden leg, i think they can live with murton.
-
and people think murton can't handle rf defensively?
-
if you only want guys who are consistently dominant, you're going to have a hard time filling out a rotation. nobody in the cubs' rotation comes even close to matching that description.
-
and saltalamacchia only wishes he was russell martin.
-
How exactly do you go about replacing Hill? He's a top 20-40 starter in the game under team control for the forseeable future. Wow, that is a bold statement. I think that that this is wildly untrue but I would be happy to listen to you prove it. THe jury's still out on Hill. He has yet to demonstrate that he can pitch consistently year over year. No stamina. If trading Hill is all it will take to get Salty, get Salty. the jury's still out on hill, but you're sold on salty's 133 big league ab's?
-
awesome...i got the guy who probably won't sign!
-
wow, bj upton is going plum nutty this week. good to see andruw getting it together...
-
Bad stat. what do you prefer?

NY Daily News: Feds to indict Bonds in the Fall

Matt Stairs Rumor
abuck1220 replied to HoopsCubs's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
i was never too high on ward, but i'm still surprised at his complete lack of power. it doesn't even seem like he's hit any doubles. -
Fixed. If you can live with Floyd in RF then you can live with Murton in RF exactly. and it's not like rf is catcher or ss...murton could become an adequate rf with a little work. maybe they should have had him play some rf in spring training.

Carpenter to have TJ

Haha, poor cardinals. I would almost feel bad for them if this wasn't just so hilarious. Walt Jocketty mortgaged the future to win the World Series. I wish Hendry would do the same. The trouble comes when you mortgage the future and miss the championship. No he didn't. He mortgaged the future because he's not that great of a GM. Yet, they manage to win the division every year. Strange how that works it's not like he's in the same division as the red sox and yankees. 2002-2006: Yankees: 497-312 Cardinals: 470-339 Red Sox: 467-343 It would be interesting to see what he could do with an extra 50-100 million in payroll per year those numbers don't help your argument, by the way. -
but now bonds is going to be on sportscenter! :cry: :cry: :cry: Thankfully, I haven't watched SportsCenter in years! :D :lol: really? judging by some people's reactions, i thought it was mandatory.
