    Grienke still has a lot of upside. I'd do it for the right price.

    Where's the option for a teenager striking out The Whammer on 3 pitches?

    ERA+ of 171 and a 0.900 WHIP. Man, was he lights out or what? That he was. I remember having an argument with one fan who was adamant about W-L being the most important pitcher statistic. I tried to get him to concede the point by comparing Johnson that year (2004) to Sean Estes (who went 15-8 with a 5.84 ERA that year). He just said that Johnson was a .500 pitcher and Estes was a winner. I wanted to pull my hair out. I run into the same problem. I pose them this question: You have one game to win. Do you go with pitcher A (7-12 2.75) or pitcher B (16-8 5.50)? About 60% of the people I ask choose pitcher B, citing the fact that "he wins games".

    Where would Dunn play? I can't imagine him trying to play RF. He'd be a butcher out there, but imagine him in the middle of the lineup. And Soriano (and Pie if recalled to start) would cover enough ground and play good enough defense to make up for Dunn's miscues.

    Highly doubt it. Don't see any reason why the Rangers would trade away one of the best major league relief pitchers/closers for a good minor league reliever. Just doesn't make sense. Like I said, spitballing. Not sure how much they would want in return. I'm starting to think it might take one of those guys and someone like Gallagher. Really, as stated prior, our pen needs little adjustment and we have in house solutions for those. Our bigger needs lie elsewhere.

    Maybe 5-10 years ago. Definitely a big "no" now.

    :roll: ESPN's Pedro Gomez tried to approach Bonds and Bonds replied "Take a hike".

    It's been discussed on the board before and we are in fact one of the teams scouting him. I think we could probably net him for something like Piggy of Rapada, but I'm spitballing here. I'm assuming the Rangers would want someone close to contributing in the majors.

    Don't know if this was posted anywhere, and mods can lock it or merge accordingly if so:

    Skip Bayless is a tool. He's not worth getting all riled up over.
  14. Post Count Padder
    What a concept

    I dislike JJ Hardy. Of course, I always amuse myself by remembering cbssportsline.com's headline last year about a story on him ("Hardy likes it in the two-hole")
  16. Post Count Padder
    Not pleased with this move one bit.
  17. Post Count Padder
    Wow, didn't see this coming

    Probably just because Hill hasn't started in over a week, and hasn't played in that long (not including yesterday). I think most people understand why Lou would want to get him in the lineup tonight. Petrick is coming up though, and Hill was easily the most likely option to go down in his place. Now that we know that Hill is not going down, Soto becomes the most likely option to go down, and of course most people don't want that. True. And with the constant Cherry/ Petrick/ Rapada/ Gallagher swapping, it shows that Jim doesn't care how long someone is up before he sends him right back down. We now know that it wasn't Hill, and I doubt Hendry would want Bowan sent down.

    Ha, nice list
  21. Post Count Padder
    I loved the lineup we sent up yesterday. I think I'd be left dreaming to think I'd see that on a regular basis.
  22. Post Count Padder
    Wouldn't surprise me.
  23. Post Count Padder
    Woo, I actually get to watch the Cubs 3 days in a row :shock: (I don't get WGN at home, only at school)
  24. Post Count Padder
    Old, overpaid and underproductive. I wouldn't want him even if we got him for a bucket of used baseballs.

    If the O's take a bit of Hernandez's salary, and we do not have to give up a decent prospect, I could live with acquiring him. However, I don't think the O's will feel the same way about that one. We already have a Millar type player who comes at a cheaper price, his name is Daryl Ward. Aubrey Huff is having a down year, and while his stock is really low and coming to Wrigley might get his numbers up, I doubt he'd help enough to warrant acquiring him. Now, if the O's were to trade us Bedard, Ray, or Markakis, that's another story.
