    Nice article on some rookies making a splash this year so far. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=crasnick_jerry&page=starting9/090624

    Slowly but surely, he is starting to get the Bonds treatment. He set a career high in walks last year with 104. 34 of them were intentional. He's already halfway to that point with 52 walks and of those 52, 22 of them are intentional, and we still haven't reached the midpoint of the season yet. He is getting the Bonds treatment, just not on such a grand scale yet. There are still hitters in that lineup that pose some sort of threat, albeit a much smaller one than Pujols does, but Bonds had absolutely nothing protecting him. There was no reason to pitch to him then. But yeah, Pujols is probably going to top 120 BB's this year and probably 50 IBB as well. I would imagine it will be more than that next year, too.

    Cuban not planning on reentering the bidding war... http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/news/story?id=4271828

    I do enjoy me a good Carlos Marmol slider that causes batters to lean back out of the way even though it's a called strike down the middle

    I was checking the yahoo game channel and it says "A. Ramirez homered to deep left" and I flipped out because I was under the impression Aramis is still month away. Then I realized it wasn't him... Sadface.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4267868 Well now he's just being a 100% complete and utter jackass

    Jim Thome as well?

    I'm not shocked, and nor do I care about this. It will affect his chances getting into the Hall no doubt, but I could care less. The guy helped revive baseball in 98... steroids or no steroids. I enjoyed the ride. But being shocked at this news is like being shocked that Lord of the Rings wasn't based on a true story
  14. Clem Fandango
    I'm shocked I'm still in the Top 5 with all the injuries my team has
  15. Clem Fandango
    No, he doesn't really do the fist pump thing anymore like he did when he was a reliever. He's still a little bit eccentric like you noticed, but he's not like Tiger Woods winning the Masters after each K anymore.
  16. Clem Fandango
    He's right, though.
  17. Clem Fandango
    No, hire Manny Acta LOL I miss FJM :(

    I'd be all for moving Soriano to 2B if it meant putting someone like Fox into the lineup if it weren't for the fact that Soriano can't field a slow roller in the OF. If he can't even field a ball cleanly when it's at a pleasant strolling pace, then I'd hate to see how he would handle scorchers hit to him at 2B now that he's been removed from the position for 3 years. If he were a decent fielder I'd put up with Fox's D in LF, but Soriano at 2B would be a train wreck at this point

    Welcome to the big leagues, Josh Vitters! Not gonna happen, but honestly wouldn't be surprised if they pulled something ludicrous like that. After all, to steal a phrase from Super Troopers, desperation is a stinky cologne

    You quite literally took the exact words I was about to post verbatim out of my mouth. Their pitching is a horrendous mess. Their offense is actually pretty good, they just need to stop trading for outfielders. Better yet, trade one (or two) of them for pitching depth! Yay! Being a GM is hard marbles

    Well, he just signed an extension in February, they have a low payroll ($67 mil) so they don't really have a need to move him, and they have some of the best young players in the game with some even better ones coming up through their system that will play before he leaves. KEeping him will give them a good chance at making something of themselves in the next few years before his extension ends. I don't see them trading him before the lastr year of his contract unless all of their up and coming prospects turn out to be rubbish, which probably won't happen. I touched on it in the rookie thread, but they are going to have a killer team in the next year or two
  22. Clem Fandango
    Well, looks like it's gonna be more than a month...

    Bend over to the front, touch your toes, get your ass on the flo and BUY LOW BUY LOW I know. I can't believe I went their either

    I'm in the same boat. I'm much more into IRL and to a lesser extent, F1, but I'll watch LeMans just because of it's significance and the fact that it's cool, fast cars on a circuit. I hear you. I'm just a casual car fan. Top Gear is probably one of my Top 3 favorite shows ever. I just love cars. That's why LeMans appeals to me a little, it's not like NASCAR or F1. It's unique. If I watch NASCAR or F1 I have no idea what kind of car their driving just by looking at them. LeMans though you can tell. I'm lazy like that. That plus NASCAR and F1 is more about the man driving the car rather than the car itself. LeMans is more focused around the build quality of the car and the team that built it. I dig that

    How many of these players with NTC will actually allow the team to shop them around though? I would think if Hendry told them that they made a choice to become sellers that perhaps they'd change their tune and waive their clauses, but would they?
