  2. NO THEY DONT HES TEH WORTS!!!11
  3. I'm curious to see what Beane could do if given a $100+ million budget. He's done some great things in Oakland, but never really replicated the success of the 2000-2003 era A's teams
  4. Or the prospects/players to obtain him that they'd be willing to move
  5. Holy crap, I didn't realize how big of a season LaHair was having.
  6. So they got rid of a younger guy who can't hit and immediately brought back an older guy who can't hit OR field to replace him? That's lovely.
  7. I do. Baseball is the only sport I care about
  8. Are you sure it's not pretty average?
  9. They're only 6 1/2 games out and Thome is actually productive. There's still more than a month left to play, it's not like the Tigers some insurmountable titan of sports. The Indians are 6 games out, only a half game ahead of the Sox, and you can damn sure bet they're not giving up on the season
  10. Also, if Toronto pursued Fielder, would it not be to DH?
  11. Buster Olney has reported that Ricketts is in talk with a local necromancer to bring back the lifeless corpse of Branch Rickey to lead this team to the promised land
  12. God damnit. I really want to see him pitch his way back to the majors, I hate it when the Universe takes a dump on him
  13. If it is the Nats and they could pull off a trade they'd have a nice little rotation going into next year... Strasburg Rodriguez Zimmermann Lannan Detwiler
  14. I'm sure Beinfest would love to not have to build a winner from nothing over the course of several years and then be forced to destroy it the next
  15. Has anyone started pinning blame on Rudy Jaramillo yet?
  16. There's going to be a slew of articles written about this so I figured having a separate thread similar to the "Cubs Players in the news" thread in the minor league section would be a wise idea since news articles are being bandied about in multiple threads right now. http://espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/story/_/id/6883564/jon-greenberg-chicago-cubs-gm-tom-ricketts-first-big-baseball-decision - This is basically an Andrew Friedman fluff piece. http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/id/15227/the-guide-to-fixing-the-cubs - Dave Schoenfields guide to how to fix the Cubs http://espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/story/_/id/6880829/matt-garza-speaks-high-andrew-friedman - Garza's endorsement for Friedman http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/cubs/7205178-417/cubs-interim-gm-ricketts-happy-with-scouting-development-system.html - Notes how Rickets is happy with the scouting and farm system development.
  17. Do you have any pictures of him that aren't distorted by a funhouse mirror? I don't want anyone making big decisions who decides to wear that thing on his head He looks like he should be propped up by Jonathan Silverman and Andrew McCarthy
  18. 5 years, $85 million http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/mlb/story/_/id/6883329/los-angeles-angels-jered-weaver-gets-5-year-extension-source-says They signed a young Cy Young caliber pitcher for less than Carlos Zambrano, good for them. EDIT: Reasonably young... didn't know he was already 28
  19. 'We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, but it's hard to imagine that happening.' That was it. Thanks
  20. On Carlos: Actions were unacceptable, blah blah blah Are you open to him pitching for the Cubs again: (Forgot exactly what he said so I'm paraphrasing on this) It's hard to say, but doesn't seem to think he'll be pitching for the Cubs again
  21. How do you balance player development vs. free agents: There really are no short cuts. You will be consistent through player development. Went extra mile on draft picks. If you find a free agent, be thoughtful on the kind of contract you give them and consider the long term effect it will have on the team. Also needs to improve club facilities
