tell this lady about chemistry...she'd love to hear it. http://www.theonion.com/content/node/42384

Keep in mind the first 7 pages was speculation in regards to this move. also keep in mind the hat that neifi is wearing in your sig picture. that only deserves 11 pages.

doesn't sound so bad right now.

the amusing thing is that hendry said rusch offered things that not a lot of other guys could offer. pretty sure you don't have to look very hard to find a guy capable of a baa under .302 or a whip under 1.57. He offers a 1.57 WHIP and a .302 BAA for more than most pitchers in baseball. The only good that can come from this signing is my new avatar. i knew someone would jump all over that.

the extra revenue generated will be vital in signing neifi to a 2 year deal.

Definitely worth the click just to see the picture. i'd be smiling like that too (though i may not have a hat quite like that one) if i just parlayed my .290 obp into $5 mil.

Your Thoughts on Hendry's Plan
abuck1220 replied to TheDude's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
hendry's plan is to try and copy what the most recent world series champs did. the red sox were perceived to have won it in '04 with comraderie and clubhouse shenanigans, so he got rid of all the bad seeds and built a team of BFF's. never mind the bosox great on base % and slugging... the white sox were perceived to have won it all in '05 with speed and defense, so he gave neifi perez the contract of a lifetime. never mind that the white sox actually hit a ton of homeruns and had a great bullpen... so yeah, that's his plan. -
exactly. he's given neifi the same $ that walker's getting. now he's going to trade walker...which means neifi will probably start and hendry's saying neifi > walker. 2.5 mil for a slick fielding, no hit backup? good lord. and i don't want to hear that guys like giles are out of the cubs' price range at $12 mil/year when hendry just pissed $5 mil down the drain to two guys that could be easily replaced at the league minimum. how about this quote? could he sound any more like an idiot?
-
i have no problem w/ neifi as the 25th man. problem is, dusty does. better sign nomar/furcal and keep walker or it's 500 abs of neifi in the 2 hole...getting on base 28% of the time.
-
three year deal for encarnacion? you gotta be kidding me...
-
only two years? why not throw six at him?
-
:shock: no mercy just because you're the new guy.
-
seriously, nice thread hijack.
-
yeah, but the rumors seem to point towards walker being dished off. we have a few holes to fill and FA isn't going to cover it. so we're trading walker to open up another hole?
-
how about we keep the cheap, productive 2b who wants to play here?
-
you're going down, bitch.
-
puss.

Don't let your concious get the better of you NC. Play hardball, screw Tim. He has already won a championship :twisted: Sssh don't tell Tim. Also don't tell Raw or Adam. Looking back at what I wrote I think I may have come off as being too harsh. My apologies if I did so. I want this league to be fun, fair and honest, but we should play to win. Besides no matter where Tim selects the Fight'n Quakers will kick his butt in 06! :smokin: i took your comments personally, and i will have no mercy on you next season. bulletin board material, my friend. :axe:

i've always wondered what kind of fantasy b-baller goony would be.
-
i'm confused.
-
if the cubs sign neifi and trade walker, i don't know what i'll do. they'd be making similar $, so the cubs would essentially be saying that neifi > walker.
-
offense please.
-
i'm as happy about this trade as padres fans are mad. :D keeper league!

True, it's not absolute like ops. But it can be backed up w/ various observations... Jeter, Bernie and Paul O'Neill were "great clubhouse guys," the Red Sox have a fun clubhouse," etc., etc., etc.... Thus an opinion can be supported to some extent. If you want to give it a value, perhaps 5-10% of winning a title is based on "chemistry." Sometimes talent and luck can override this though. See the 72-74 A's for more.. exactly. opinion is a hell of a lot different than empirical evidence. you're certainly entitled to have an opinion that chemistry helps winning. but don't act as though it's fact. opinion & empirical evidence tie together. philosophy & ideology, which is essentially opinion, can be supported w/ empirical evidence. Example of an opinion/ideology ~ social security is good for society. empirical evidence shows that poverty rate went from 30some% in 30's to teens in the 60's. empirical evidence shows people live longer. etc., etc.. Of course, a competing ideology disagrees and shows other evidence such as people don't save as much cause they rely more on govt.. etc. etc.. and you don't have any 'empirical evidence' about chemistry. end of story.
