Jered up, Jeff DFA'd!!!
abuck1220 replied to sweetpeteman's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
ouch. jeff could be a decent pick up for a contending NL team in need of a 5th starter. he had an underrated 2005. -
i'm not big on wuertz, but that's a pretty strange thing to say. he's had over 100 decent big league innings. he was real good in 2005 until he got run into the ground. how novoa cracks the big league roster over wuertz is beyond me. novoa has inexplicably become one of dusty's guys despite the fact that he's awful and under 30. the guys this organization latch onto really boggle the mind sometimes.

good ab, neifi.

podsednik's 11 CS of the year. boy, his speed is really a difference maker!
-
No, just finding holes. ozuna's ball was very hard hit, konerko's was a bloop. dye's hit wasn't a dribbler or anything, but it was hit in the right spot. same w/ aj's. i'm concerned that marshall is going to fall apart as his innings add up.
-
at least they're sucking with a bunch of young players.

after hill threw 4 1/3 no hit, six k innings in relief on 6/22/05, he didn't even pitch in a big league game again until 7/25/05. so, what i'm saying is, guzman's got another two weeks. now when rusch throws "well" out of the pen one time he gets a spot in the rotation. fair is fair.

lame pearl jam reference by bob. can't hold it against him, i guess...at least he knows who they are.

Lee or Dunn?
abuck1220 replied to Backtobanks's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I'm not attempting to make an argument against CLee. But, I don't like him if you are curious. That dirty play on Walker last year was uncalled for. I'd like to see a line up that featured .350+ OBP potential at every position. Not just potential, but rather likely. Instead of ignoring OBP completely like the front office has done for years now, I don't want a little emphasis on OBP. I want a lot. A lot is what it is going to take to turn this offense around. but that's not gonna happen, so the best we can hope for is a guy w/ a high SLG. big SLG and mediocre OBP is as good as it's gonna get. -
Lee or Dunn?
abuck1220 replied to Backtobanks's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
dunn doesn't hit sac flies. seriously though, i'd be fine w/ lee just like i'd be fine w/ soriano. i'm aware that neither post a very good OBP, but i've come to grips w/ the fact that the cubs don't care about walks. since they're not going to get a high-OBP guy, i'm just hoping for a good SLG...as opposed to a guy w/ bad OBP and SLG (i'm looking at you, juan pierre). -
i'd have rather they tied it through stolen bases, sac bunts, and defense, but i guess extra base hits and homeruns will have to do.
-
worth every penny. oh, and rooks just continue to kill the team.
-
Somewhat are - Cedeno couldn't get a bunt down to move Jones to third. jones probably would have held up had cedeno got the bunt down anyway.
-
dempster's not very good, but it's foolish to take the job away from him. oh, what's that, you say? change this team's name to the chicago knee jerk reactions.
-
don't worry, the cubs will snap out of it tomorrow against bush, who is starting for me.
-
baker will be all over cedeno's error.
-
A couple reasons: A) Williamson needs to come up in order to show he's healthy and trade him, for that they needed space. B) Aardsma hasn't been pitching all that well. In June he has a 4+ ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 5.91 k/9, 7/4 K/BB ratio. He's pretty much interchangable with Novoa. who is terrible. how he sticks on the roster at wuertz's expense is beyond me.
-
damn, randa missed a grand slam by about a foot. oh well, i had already assumed a shutout from buehrle, so anything less than that is good.
-
well, the spot on my injured reserve that opened up when patterson came back didn't stay open for long. cano to the DL...i picked up burke to take his spot. also excited to hear that myers is taking 2 1/2 weeks off to get his life in order after he beat the [expletive] out of his wife. classy guy.
-
exactly. are you freaking kidding me?

at the very least, hill has succeeded in rebuilding his trade value to at least the level it was last season (if not higher). you'd think teams would be calling. -

Eric Patterson is the SL Hitter of the Week for June 19-25!
abuck1220 replied to Chris's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
at this point, i'm not getting my hopes up too high for pie in cf next year. if i had to bet who would put up better big league numbers in '07 b/w pie and epatt, i'd go w/ patterson. that being said, i'd probably try and convince walker to stay on for one more year (giving epatt a year in AAA). move jones to cf, sign carlos lee, and trade the farm (including pie) for abreu. but that's another thread...congrats to eric! :D -
the sanitizers beat nsbb last year too...when it counted. :D
