    If all of those scenarios occur, I will become a full fledged Yankee fan.

    Granted he's small, so wouldn't that make his 18 homers last year a little questionable? He also only hit 3 homers after the break. Also, what about Jay Gibbons? He's always been a 20-25 homerun hitter, nothing special. A friend of mine guessed he might have taken steroids to help him heal faster from his injuries.

    Probably Moises Alou. :roll:

    Oh really? *gears up the rant machine.......* That would require objectivity and journalistic integrity, both qualities ESPN has precious little of. They'll wait until they can't anymore----secretly hoping somehow the story is false so they don't have to carry it. ESPN knows which players bring cash into the coffers. Clemens and Tejada are 2 of them. You do realize they're planning the all-time biggest bash in history for when Bonds breaks Aaron's record, right? That's their boy---they even signed him to a contract to do a puff-piece mini series. Bonds is a damn ESPN employee, for crying out loud! You think Clemens won't be once he retires? Think again, my man. Think again. Oh silly me. How could I not see that? Stupid poster boys Clemens and Bonds, loved for eternity by ESPN. ESPN is definitely way too biased.

    Hm, this isn't on ESPN at all. I would have figured they would jump all over this.

    While my friend and I were waiting to gain entance to Beaver Stadium for the football game today, we decided to go across the street and check out the baseball stadium first hand. I must say, it is pretty darn nice. I'm gonna have to go check out a Spikes game this season.

    I'd like to see the Twins vs. the Padres. I wanted to see a Twins/ Marlins World Series, but since the Marlins didn't make it, I'll go for the Padres.

    I wouldn't mind Brown off the bench, but not of we have to give up a good pitching prospect, thoughI would like to know the definition of "good". Maybe we can convince then that Booby Brownlie or Luke Hagerty will come around. As for Sanders, he's getting up there in age, and he's an injury risk. I'd just say no.
  9. Post Count Padder
    That's like asking if I want Chinese Water Torture. Drip after drip on my head is like day after day of Dusty and his astonoishingly bad in-game decisions and outrageous quotes. Both have the same result: They both make me go insane.

    I hope this is Ronny's year.

    Per Rotoworld: Mark Loretta-2B- Red Sox Sep. 29 - 8:40 am et Mark Loretta is likely playing his final games with the Red Sox this weekend. Boston plans to go with Dustin Pedroia as the everyday second baseman in 2007, so Loretta will have to seek employment elsewhere. Loretta has enjoyed a strong year, leading the team with 179 hits and playing solid defense at second, pretty well everything Boston could have hoped for. But the development of a younger, cheaper alternative in Pedroia makes keeper Loretta unnecessary. I would not mind seeing Loretta in a Cub uniform next season, for the right price. He's getting up there in age, but it still a good hitter and him coupled with Cedeno or Izturis is better than a Cedeno Izturis middle infield. Loretta is also a nice #2 hitter. There are better options at 2B, but I'm just throwing this out there.

    When glancing through Rotoworld, I found this bit from the San Diego Union-Tribune: I don't see this happening. Bochy apparantly doesn't seem very likely to leave and Towers doesn't want him to leave. The two have a good relationship.
  13. Post Count Padder
    I could live with that. He can hit, and play multiple positions. I bet the big question in JH's mind is...can he catch the ball :shock: ?
  14. Post Count Padder
    Jaque Jones has had 20 walks combined between August and September for an OBP approximately .086 points above his avg. Is there a reason for this? Has he had a different approach at the plate. Has he finally figured out that walks are good?
  15. Post Count Padder
    I'd rather see Moore get AB's at Iowa, and if we have Lofton on the bench we'd better have a better option starting in CF. Speaking of the Angels, what about Robb Quinlan? He's a good hitter who can play 1B, 3B and the OF. He'd be nice off the bench.

    Don't know if it was posted here yet, but the State College Spikes agreed to a deal with, and are now an affiliation of, the Pirates. I don't have a link at the moment, but I'm sure one will get posted.

    I think this has been discussed before. I'd be in favor of it. Pagan won't steal as many bases, but he's got speed. We has more power than, and won't hit a whole lot worse in the BA category. He's far from spectacular in the field, but then again, niether is Pierre. I'd be all for this move if it was temporarily as long as JH spends the money wisely this offseason on our other needs, which isn't a sure thing.

    ...for below average backup middle infielders? http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-redsmove&prov=ap&type=lgns 2 years and $2 mil is a nice contract for a player who has a career OPS slightly above .600.
  20. Post Count Padder
    I really approve of that :D . Seriously, those numbers seem reasonable, as long as there are no mishaps or injuries, and with this team it's more likey that the pope gets married than the Cubs having an mostly injury free season.
  21. Post Count Padder
    Last I checked there were only 8 teams in, so go ahead and join.
  22. Post Count Padder
    ...the Boston/ Toronto game today has a listed starting time of 4:07? I just fnd it a little wierd.
  23. Post Count Padder
    Sunday is good with me.

    Who's who in the league? I'm in as ScottStevens's beard.
  25. Post Count Padder
    I don't even remember who we got for him... who was it? Nate Spears, who last I checked had a sub-.700 OPS and some pitcher who didn't project to be a good prospect anyway.
