    that's officially my guess. suspending him is quite stupid for the team's sake. As far as I know, they can't just suspend him and add a guy to the 25-man roster, there would have to be another move, and that would punish somebody else for Z's actions, no? yeah, but that wouldn't surprise me. they punished guzman for howry/eyre sucking.

    are you saying this b/c you don't want the cubs to trade one or more of their players or because you don't want hendry to trade one or more of his players? I don't want Gallagher to be traded... he seems to be a good kid, and it's nice having inside info on one of the better prospects in the organization. what makes you think it's gallagher that's going to be traded? didn't he say he was joining the cubs? they wouldn't call him up to trade him. they'd have to put him on the 40 man roster before trading him... but yeah it doesn't make sense to tell him that he's going to pitch in atlanta when he's being rostered just for the purpose of trading him why would they have to 40 man him to trade him?

    QFT... I'm assuming this is Sean Gallagher right? Who gets sent down? Is this a trade precursor? Yeah, it's definitely Gallagher and I know peoriachiefs39 is friends with Sean, but I am still really surprised. I wonder what's going to happen. Trade maybe or who's sent down? Guess we'll have to wait and see tonight. Not friend, peoriachiefs39 is Sean's dad. what a darth vader moment! wonder if z's hurt...

    you can do all that stuff, so it does make sense. assuming perkins still fell below the minor league limits you could have put him in your minors.
  8. abuck1220
    Yep. That's the way it should be. If you are lucky enough to grab a guy before he gets the call, you can keep him in your minors. It makes zero sense to allow current major league players to be picked up off of free agency and stashed in the minors. ok, so what if i traded him to raw today? what would raw be allowed to do with him? and what if he wasn't in the database until after he got called up?
  9. abuck1220
    also, what if i were to trade escobar to raw and you were you were to trade sonnanstine to raw? would he be allowed to keep sonnanstine in the minors, but not escobar? it wouldn't make sense for raw to be forced to keep escobar on his major league roster when he had nothing to do with me picking him up off free agency.
  10. abuck1220
    so even though sonnanstine and escobar are both in the bigs, you should be able to keep sonnanstine in the minors just b/c you happened to pick him up while he was still in the minors? even though neither one of them has passed the minor league limits? i don't think that makes any sense. not only would that be very difficult to police, but there are guys who don't get added to the database until they are called up...under your theory, those guys would never be able to be considered minor leaguers?
  11. abuck1220
    it may be time for me to start trusting ol' mitre.
  12. abuck1220
    you can have anybody who meets the minor league requirements on your minor league roster. for instance, sonnanstine is starting for the drays this week, but you can keep him on your minor league roster until he exceeds the minor league limits.
  13. abuck1220
    it's hard to be too mad at a draft that gets you a top of the rotation starter in the 4th round...but this draft does it. yuck.
  14. abuck1220
    great game going on between oakland and boston. kendall probably needs to get drilled in the back after that tag on pedroia.
  15. abuck1220
    aaa is doing him a favor.
  16. abuck1220
    boof! glad to see the power surge i had last week has continued. time for soriano to start making up for lost time.
  17. abuck1220
    i didn't realize there was anything else to like about him.

    i don't care what brenly and len say, marquis looked like absolute [expletive] tonight. i'm afraid he's about to start sucking hard. did anyone catch that missed 3rd strike to jenkins? granted, barrett should have caught it, but marquis honestly missed his spot by five feet.
  19. abuck1220
    that's how you win more games than jason schmidt, makr mulder and sandy koufax combined over the past five years (or whatever it is hendry was spouting).
  20. abuck1220
    possibly the ugliest two scoreless innings ever pitched.
  21. abuck1220
    As a major league catcher, you have to stop that. And it's not like it's a rare occurence or anything. That's his 8th passed ball of the year. Keep in mind it's only June 3rd. What?! Marquis missed by 3 feet. You stop a 90 mph pitch where you transition your wrist completely the other way. he missed by more than three feet. barrett was half standing with the glove at his face, and the ball was nearly in the dirt. marquis is beyond lucky so far tonight.
  22. abuck1220
    not saying that barrett shouldn't have caught that, but marquis missed his spot by literally five feet. why does jones look like he's never played baseball before -- on the field and at the plate?
  23. abuck1220
    if hendry trades murton simply because he can't find anyone to take jones, he truly is the worst gm around.
  24. abuck1220
    yeah, it didn't look to me like barrett was pointing at the scoreboard, but i couldn't figure out what he was pointing at.

    2nd rate among first baseman. Ranking anywhere from 20-9 among qualified 1B in OPS. 200 OPS points off the leaders. That is 2nd rate. You're far too generous if you think that's an elite 1B. Defense matters to bud! defense at 1b doesn't matter that much. bud. Ha ok how so? if it's that important, why is it the place to put fat, unathletic guys who don't have another position? it's clearly the easiest defensive position to play.
