    inserted glaus 3b after my trade. i think i'm finally out of trading chips now...it's been a busy month of trading for me!

    the nats just ph for soriano in the 5th inning. granted, they're losing by 10 runs, but that still seems pretty strange...
  3. abuck1220
    i would say that 1,100 of your 1,200 posts have been about hill becoming a relief pitcher.
  4. abuck1220
    this is somewhat of a silver lining, i guess... of course, whether that happens or not remains to be seen.

    to me, the turning point in hill's night was the rolen ab. he had just come off a great 1st inning, and was ahead of rolen 1-2 (i believe). rolen fouled off a couple pitches (including barely nicking a decent curve) before walking. if he had gotten rolen out of the way, things may have been differnt.
  6. abuck1220
    of course not. but hill's future major league success is as tied to maddux's early success as it is to scott ruffcorn's minor league numbers.
  7. abuck1220
    if he has trouble thowing K's he should'nt be in the bigs Then every pitcher should be in the minors, they all have games where they struggle with the strike zone. Yeah, but Hill has not been consistent enough in the strike zone to stay in the big leagues. His minor league stats are so impressive though that you know it is mental. I'm pretty sure the guy can throw strikes, he just needs the confidence that he can go out there and get the job done. Just for kicks look up Scott Ruffcorn minor league stats... just for kicks look up greg maddux's 86 and 87 stats.

    he only threw a couple decent curves...both to duncan, i think. i agree though, w/o that curve i would have guessed that he would have given up more.
  9. abuck1220
    then you haven't watched all his outings.
  10. abuck1220
    oh, did i win the race to say that hill needs to be more like marshall who is talking to maddux in the dugout??!!!
  11. abuck1220
    not a big deal...hill's had pinpoint control tonight. I realize you're being sarcastic, but what does your response have to do with my post?? i was agreeing with you. it was stupid to pitch out there...for the reasons you mention plus the fact that he hasn't had good command. and hill's probably thrown his last pitch as a cub.

    pitching out with a guy having trouble throwing strikes...
  14. abuck1220
    rumor has it it may be back for one last season. and that's not how you wanted to start the inning, rich.

    i was making an effort to avoid this thread by watching the downstairs tv. the dancing show knocked me up to the den...and the computer. :D The dancing show? I wouldn't admit to that. my wife's watching the dancing show, not me. though i don't know if that makes it sound any better...

    AWESOME yes, thank goodness they are still trying. participation ribbons 'round the house.

    HE'S ONLY GOT ONE PITCH!~~~!! Rich Hill is not a starter! He never will be! I've been preaching this all year long... you have? You know I have. I said all along he's at best a left specialist. hmm...i don't seem to remember you saying that...IN EVERY POST YOU'VE MADE FOR THE PAST MONTH.
  19. abuck1220
    HE'S ONLY GOT ONE PITCH!~~~!! Which used to be his curve, but he's been hitting 93 with the FB as well tonight. 2 pitches won't cut it for a starter but I think he could be a decent long relief man down the road. I think with that big curve and decent fb he can be a very good relief man you do?

    It was a pleasure doing business. :) well, it wouldn't be like i'd regret the trade if he went to detroit. he's obviously fared ok in rfk, so i wouldn't expect a huge drop off in detroit. my worst case scenario would be the nats signing him to an extension.
  22. abuck1220
    that's the problem with how the cubs have handled this (and how they handled murton and cedeno last year). even if he's lights out for the rest of the year, i don't think that's enough to evaluate him. same goes if he's terrible. he should have been in the rotation a long time ago so they could get a better read on him.
  23. abuck1220
    why's that? What happens if you're in an NL only league and these guys are on your team? Are you just screwed or do you get to keep playing them? i'd rather have lee continue to hit in miller park and the rest of the NL central. and if soriano's going to be traded, i'd rather it be to a better hitter's park than detroit, though that lineup would offer him better run/rbi chances. i think you're screwed if you're in an NL only league and you have one of them.
  24. abuck1220
    if lee goes to minnesota and soriano goes to detriot, i'm going to be an unhappy fantasy baseball gm.

    Tick Tock Raisin, Tick Tock. why are you putting all that pressure on him? he'll propose to you when he's good and ready.
