    what a weird game. nearly 1/2 way through the 2nd half and not a single free throw shot since halftime. nothing but turnovers and chucked up three's on both sides
  2. Derwood
    PSU and OSU tied at the half :shock:
  3. Derwood
    we when?

    just imagine what Prior would be demanding contract-wise had he stayed healthy
  5. Derwood
    i think the concept of "contract years" is half fiction and nearly impossible to prove

    He hit .293 which would've been towards the top for this team. Not to mention the 60+ SBs he brings to the table. I'd rather have Pie in CF just for the sake of developing a young guy by letting him play. But if he goes, I'd take Pierre over w/e trash you have in mind (Byrd?) any day. i have never once advocated adding Byrd. and he hit .293? Wow. His IsoD was .34. That's horrendous. His OPS was .684. Good god. He had a whopping 33 walks in 729 PA's. Juan Pierre is not terribly good at baseball. and as i've said, 60 steals is nice and all, but he was caught 15 times, which negates 15 of the times he got on base (which he didn't do very often). Also, for a "speedy" guy, he managed just 24 doubles and 8 triples in a pitcher's park.

    so penn state loses by, what, 30 to ohio state tonight?
  8. Derwood
    it's not in an MLB authorized park

    #-o Will someone please put a zipper on Gammons. he just pissed off Peter Angelos. GREAT

    Gomez and Humber are major league ready, Mulvey probably doesn't need more than half the season. major league ready on a bad team or a good team? there's a reason they weren't playing on the Mets
  11. Derwood
    so much for the Twins wanting major league ready talent in return
  12. Derwood
    maybe could've matched in terms of prospects, but not in the ability to extend him 5/110 or 7/150
  13. Derwood
    FWIW, i was asking the question in general, not because i didn't think it was worth it
  14. Derwood
    And he batted 130 times less than Pierre. Pierre was more efficient with the bat than Theriot and yet he still sucked
  15. Derwood
    Getting Furcal as our shortstop is much more than a "marginal upgrade." I don't think you fully grasp the magnitude of Theriot's suck. Furcal bottomed out last season having the worst season of his career, and he still was better than Theriot. Furcal's not an old cat yet. He just turned 30. He has at least three more quality seasons in him. Rafael Furcal will easily bounce back to his overall line the previous four years. That's an upper .270s EqA with above average defense. Theriot's suck will likely improve a bit, but to what? A .250 EqA? That's a 25 run difference on offense, likely another 10 or so on defense. We're talking about a 30-40 run difference between Theriot and Furcal. By comparison, that's a greater increase in production than going from Felix Pie to Grady Sizemore. i guess the question is are 35 runs worth $13 million more on the payroll?

    i guess MacPhail technically is "out of control", insomuch as he has no actual control over moves made on the Orioles
  17. Derwood
    i've come to realize that everyone in baseball sucks at everything always
  18. Derwood
    Juan Pierre made 548 outs last year. All by himself. 15 of those outs came on stolen base attempts. the year before, he made 566 outs. I don't want this man anywhere near my team. Ryan Theriot sucked, and he made nearly 100 fewer outs than Pierre.

    if anyone wants to meet up for a Cubs series in either Cincy or Pittsburgh, let me know
  20. Derwood
    andruw jones was in a contract year last season and he blew goats
  21. Derwood
    i assume we'll all be getting however many months of credit once Premium goes in

    i love the misplaced anger about information leaks. these GM's and owners and what not damn the media for spreading rumors, where they should be pissed at the people within their own organization who are leaking the information. I feel the same way about leaked albums in the music industry. yes, you have a right to be pissed that your artist's album is all over bit torrent 3 weeks before it's release, but how about you go find out who in your recording studio is leaking the album first?

    they never should have moved out of Rec Hall. It was their own version of Cameron Indoor; student standing a foot out of bounds, packed to the rafters, loud as all get out. now they're playing in an airport hangar with the first 10 rows reserved for boosters/alumni who never show up

    i love that the cliche with chicago ballplayers is "too much fun on Rush St." when Rush St. is about the 127th coolest street to go have fun on
  25. Derwood
    A drop in production, really? He had 8 less hits in 07 than in 06, but his average went up a point. He had 9 more runs, and 1 more RBI. Oh, and 6 more stolen bases along with an increased SB%. Hmmmm, his SLG did go down, guess we shouldn't be looking for him to bat in the middle of the order anymore should we? Pierre lead the league in outs in 2006
