    If only we were lucky, Jeter would get hit by a bus and Berroa would be the starter.

    How about Pie's numbers ? .275/.323/.434 13 HR 60 RBI and 19 SB Also, Fan Graphs has Bradley's production in '08 being worth $16.9 mil. And yes, of course these numbers are sscewed due to Bradley hitting in a big hitters parking while DHing full-time. He could still reach these numbers, though. I really think we shouldn't put any stock into that fangraphs stat. It seems like all their numbers are extremely inflated. I mean, they had Willie Harris being worth 15.4 mil Last year. Yeah his defense is excellent, but c'mon. Point taken. Just sharing the info.

    Is hendry pretty much done after Bradley/Marquis? Is another SP after the ownership situation is resolved unrealistic? The Peavy thing, from what I've been told, probably can't happen until the ownership situation is resolved. However, Hendry will try to add a starting pitcher not named Peavy before spring training opens. So are you saying that Peavy is no longer an option, or are you saying that until the ownership situation is resolved, Hendry will try to find someone else for SP? Peavy is not an option for now. The ownership situation will have to be resolved first. Hendry has had no serious talks with SD lately, but he will continue keeping an eye on the situation. Until then, I fully expect the Cubs to obtain another starting pitcher. How legitimate of a starter? Someone like Lowe or a few non-roster invites?

    I forgot about Reed and Ritchie. They were sorta highly regarded coming out of the draft, IIRC.

    Bill James has Bradley posting these numbers next year: .287/.391/.489 20 HR 68 RBI in 442 at bats
  7. Post Count Padder
    He and Levine keep pushing this and no one else is hearing anything remotely close to this. I want to have hope, but I highly doubt this is getting done.
  8. Post Count Padder
    Not a bad deal. The potential is there and I like this possible injury clause in the contract.
  9. Post Count Padder
    That's a great deal for the Rays.
  10. Post Count Padder
    I saw someone mentioned Rondell White. Is it bad if I thought the same thing? How comparable are the two?
  11. Post Count Padder
    I'd prefer Aurilia to Miles, but at this point it's stupid. I kinda don't want either but too late for that.

    Actually DeRosa's and Miles' careers prior to signing with the Cubs were almost identical. Including the fact, that both had career years prior to signing. Miles career prior to signing at 32 .289/.329/.364 Derosa's career #'s prior to signing .260/.316/.366 at 32 Based on those #'s you would be a fool to assume that Miles would turn out to put up #'s similar to DeRosa's, but I suppose it is possible that Mile's numbers could still improve over his career year, last year. I think the real swap is Fontenot for DeRosa, as the Cubs will be mainly facing RHP. I will be interested to see if Fontenot continues to improve this year. If Fontenot can continue his career .853 OPS vs. RHP. The loss of DeRosa isn't all that bad. Well it looks good if you put it like that, but we all know Miles isn't gonna knock out 20 homers in the next two years. I can't see him improving a whole lot. In Miles, we have a .290 hitter, nothing more. I hope Fontenot keeps up what he's doing and doesn't regress much.

    That game last night was depressing. Penn State is better than that. Dumb playcalling on offense, dumb penalties, and 10 yard cushions for the USC receivers on every play were the reasons Penn State lost. And yes, USC did play well, but it should have been much closer. Oh well.

    If Stevens pitches on the big league club this year, his projected ZiPS: 5.12 ERA 65 IP 62 K 32 BB 89 ERA+
  15. Post Count Padder
    I looked up Miles's ZiPS Projections for 09 for the hell of it: .282/.326/.347 2 HR 33 RBI 2 SB and average range at 3B and 2B/ poor range at SS

    After that late season game last year in which some analyst (Sutcliffe?) was pointing out how Hill was changing his catching stance based on the type of pitch to be thrown, I don't want ol' Koyie anywhere near a meaningful Cubs game, unless he's playing for the other team. That said, it would be nice if Hendry could scrape up a little dough for Gregg Zaun. I'd prefer Zaun over Bako, but Zaun would probably want more than $500,000.

    Thanks to OSU and Michigan.

    I'm definitely going to be rooting for Penn State. I think it'll be much closer than most think - this PSU team is not the same OSU team that got blown away numerous times by athletic teams. Thank you. This "Big 10 teams get killed in BCS games" nonsense has to end. Since when are all teams from a conference over multiple seasons exactly the same? I know, seriously. I'm expecting a good game. I doubt it will be a blowout.
  21. Post Count Padder
    Are we ready for this again?
  22. Post Count Padder
    I'm pretty sure USC is gonna win, but I hope I'm proved wrong.

    Awesome offseason
