Do you guys realize we have So Taguchi in the minors? I think he's the answer.
-
I'm not sure I understand the point to this, unless you're just trying to show off your comedy skills.
-
If those are the only stats you're better off assuming that player B was on a better team. hahahahha what a fool, amirite?
-
I agree. But to completely dismiss RBI's when comparing a player you traded to the player you traded him to acquire, is silly. I could easily make a strong case that DeRo has been significantly better without using RBI's in the conversation. I don't get the uproar with bringing it up. It isn't silly to dismiss RBI when comparing players. It's an awful stat. If you can prove Derosa was more valuable without RBI, then do it. It would make more sense. I'll simply refer you to check each player's BR page for evidence if you truly need to see it. I'm not doubting it, I just don't understand why you used RBI at all.

Again, reported. Seriously, why do you feel the need to be such an a-hole? Are you like this in real life or is this just some internet persona that you've created? Gesh. I bet you wouldn't say that to his face.

What a dumb statement. I'm not some idiot that thinks RBI's and Runs scored are the important stats. Don't respond to my posts assuming so. What I, very clearly, stated, was that while other stats certainly mean a whole lot more when evaluating a player... when discussing player A, the former Cub was traded to make room for player B, their run producing stats are absolutely fair game for conversation. Ugh. No they're not. They play in completely different lineups. You just don't get it. RBIs are a worthless stat to look at when determing whop has been a better hitter. RBIs are as much about luck and lineup positiomning as they are about actually performance. Nobody is saying the RBIs themselves don't matter. But to use them to compare playuers is dumb, yeah. You should be using rate stats and stuff like that. Thing that a player... you know.... actually controls. I'll say this again. James Loney has 49 RBI's and has a .732 OPS. Do you understand that Loney has more RBIs than many many players who have been much better than him this season? So is run driven in % fair game? Or is it all about OBP/SLG and nothing else in your eyes? There is literally a laundry list of stats that are better indicators. I can't think of an offensive stat worse than RBI.

Moron?! There's no need to be an a-hole. It was an honest mistake. That post just got reported. Before your edit. Nice try though. Wow man, don't do anything extreme!

What the hell is going on?

That article is hilarious.
-
We can't blame him for the Cubs not performing in the playoffs.
-
Can you explain to me why you mention Sean Marshall in every post? We get it, you don't have to keep saying it.
-
Give credit for him signing Derosa? Well, perhaps if he were: A: Still a Cub B: Wasn't traded for marginal prospects C: Not playing for the Cardinals DeRosa is not a good example. so the two years he was here never happened?
-
Those 12 AAA ABs beg to differ.
-
Isn't Zach Duke one of the pitchers that always destroys us?
-
Why isn't this guy writing those front page articles?
-
Cut him some slack, his Bartman jersey was probably dirty. White Sox fans really are clever and original.

Matt Holiday?
JimSorgi replied to Backtobanks's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Good point. Your reasoning is clearly superior to mine. I'll back out now before you zing me again. -
Aaron Miles "day to day?", why not just DL him?
JimSorgi replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I'm going to go out on a limb and bet that he goes back to sucking soon. -

Does it matter? -

JimSorgi replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
We already have 3 other middle infielders who cant hit their way out of a paper bag, why not DL him and bring up someone like Fuld or Taguchi so we'll have someone to spell Fukudome in center every now and then, or even anothe pitcher, perhaps a loogy so Marshall can be uses as an 8th inning guy. Any idea that suggests the promotion of Taguchi is instantly terrible. -
I don't think it's a big deal either, in the right context. Unfortunately for Geo, he's not in the same context as you or I. He's held to a higher standard, higher responsibilities, and he messed up. It kind of bothers me no one on this board seems to care. Seriously, who holds professional athletes to higher standards? Donte Stallworth basically got away with killing someone. Most of them do a lot of stupid things. You really shouldn't expect much.
-
It just doesn't matter to me. I really don't care what players do in their private life unless it's something dangerous or evil.
-
What the hell are the Pacers doing? Please tell me this is some terrible joke.

I bet Gregg gets another save bookmarked this page so I can brag about it later
