  1. Lee had career highs in HR, RBI and SLG this year. Clearly on the decline
  2. No, don't you see? Once baseball players hit the mythic age of 32, they automatically go down every year (even when they don't)
  3. I was pretty sure I remembered that A. Jones was not on the market. So let's stop talking about him as an option now please. Rotoworld also says Willis is not likely to be traded.
  4. latest Rotoworld blurb on Drew doesn't list the Cubs as a team interested
  5. The hottest free agent? How about Dave Roberts:
  6. Interesting considering they just signed him to an extension, right? EDIT: Wrong
  7. perhaps there is some bleedover from Hudson and Mulder, both of whom were outstanding in Oakland and have been mediocre (and injured) once the big payday came. I think people can be skeptical, especially for that amount of $$$ and years
  8. At least it wasn't named after another bank. Oh, wait....
  9. sure, they were cheap and young, but their 1.41, 1.56 and 1.58 WHIPS last year weren't anything you'd actively try to acquire. In other words, having seen what they did last year, you wouldn't try trading for them, and they would all be behind Marmol/Marshall/Guzman/Hill/Ryu in the Cub pitching logma.
  10. I agree and here's something far fetched to think about. On Baseball this Morning on XM the jeniuses there were advocating signing Soriano to play left because I quote Orestes Destrada (loosely) " Matt Murton after a hot first month was a disapointment the rest of the season so I would play Soriano in left and play this kid, this great kid the Cubs have Angel Pagan in centerfield" :roll: it's good to know that you don't ever have to do research or have facts to be paid to share your opinion on things
  11. Mets are also rumored to be inquiring with the White Sox about Vazquez (and his $15.5 million next year). Sure, just spend whatever
  12. Someone explain that logic to me please. I tried but my brains started leaking out my ears
  13. Sheffield agreed to go to Detroit because they promised he wouldn't have to play 1B. How soon would Andrew Miller be ready for Detroit? When he is, a guy like Bonderman, Maroth, etc. becomes expendable. Of course they'll have to fill Rogers' spot here soon as well
  14. Pass. we may need a merge here. I just posted almost exactly the same thing in another new thread, mine from rotworld. Can we get a mod please!
  15. This is the first report of actual numbers/years I've heard connected to Zito. per Rotoworld:
  16. 6-6 teams shouldn't be allowed to a bowl period. It's already ludicrous that close to (if not more than) 1/2 the Division 1-A teams go to a bowl game every year. There have to be SOME standards!
  17. The Phillies new AAA team (for 2008) will be named the IronPigs. God I love minor league baseball team names.
  18. I don't really like the idea of giving anyone a deal much longer than 3 or 4 years. It's impossible to trade that kind of contract if things go south in the first couple of years of the deal
  19. Wrigley is notorious for having one of (if not the) hardest RF's to play in the NL. You can't just stick anyone over there.
  20. PSU now 2-0 with win over UNC-Greensboro. Cornley, last year's Big 10 Freshmen of the Year, went 23 and 11 for the game. Stony Brook up next (yes, they have an asstastic non-con)
  21. $42 million for negotiating rights is completely and utterly stupid. If they sign Drew (per rotoworld) as well, they'll easily spend $100 million in one day. That's ridiculous. I applaud Hendry for not joining this madness.
  22. one that doesn't kill anyone, but makes all the fans and players not be able to speak for awhile.
