    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 forgot about Reed and Ritchie. They were sorta highly regarded coming out of the draft, IIRC.
  3. Post Count Padder
    Bill James has Bradley posting these numbers next year: .287/.391/.489 20 HR 68 RBI in 442 at bats
  4. 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.
  5. Post Count Padder
    Not a bad deal. The potential is there and I like this possible injury clause in the contract.
  6. Post Count Padder
    That's a great deal for the Rays.
  7. Post Count Padder
    I saw someone mentioned Rondell White. Is it bad if I thought the same thing? How comparable are the two?
  8. 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+
  12. 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.

    Collegian's PSU-USC matchup: http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2008/12/31/penn_stateusc_unit_breakdowns.aspx

    Thanks to OSU and Michigan.
  16. Post Count Padder
    :-))

    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.
  18. Post Count Padder
    Are we ready for this again?
  19. Post Count Padder
    I'm pretty sure USC is gonna win, but I hope I'm proved wrong.

    http://chicagocubsonline.com/archives/2008/12/cubsrumors1231.php#more Not so enthusiastic about the 3 years, but 10 mil a year isn't bad I guess.

    Awesome offseason

    What drugs is he taking? Cuz I want some.
  24. Post Count Padder
    So in terms of next year's team, we just traded DeRosa and Marquis for Bradley and Miles I'm angry/disappointed, but not surprised.
  25. Post Count Padder
    I think he's better thank K-Rod, but that's just me.
