    I found a copy of MVP2005 for the PC last year for $20 a Gamestop. I installed it with updated rosters and game faces and minor league players and all that good crap. It was glorious. Then for some unknown reason it started lagging, and after I knocked odwn the graphics quality and a whole bunch of other stuff, it still lags, even after I uninstalled it and re-installed it with no mods or graphical upgrades. So it's unplayable now and it makes me a sad panda. I've been tiding myself over with Baseball Mogul, but it's not the same.

    Welcome back to trade rumor hell, my friend. I'll see you guys on page 233

    Is there really any truth to this Greene to Chicago rumor, or is it all based on our wants and desires to get it done? Didn't it start with a rumor that a Pie for Greene trade was turned down last year. Then that lead to everyone wanting Khalil Greene after Meph convinced a lot of people so (myself included). Then the Padres interested in Murton thing. I think that opened up Murton + Whoever else for Greene. Has there been any newspaper rumors about us actually going after Greene lately, or are we all just hoping for the best and making up our own scenarios that seem so obviously smart to do that we start to believe the Cubs will do it? I want Greene. So very very much. But is it really gonna happen?

    I haven't followed this thread seriously since like page 54 or something. Is there anything going on with this crap that hasn't been said on Rotoworld?

    That's what she said. [highfive] [snap]

    The simplistic side of me always thought they wore the bigger mitt for extra [padding since they're the ones who had the other infielders rocketing their throws at them. Everyone else might get a quick or soft toss depending on the play. Very rarely do third basemen or middle infielders get balls thrown at them with the same force a first baseman receives on almost every play, especially double plays. I just assume because of this that they wore it for extra protection. Ever just play around on a field wearing a regular glove at first base? Kinda hurts after while

    Japanese? He can barely speak English. He no berry berry goo. What does speaking English have to do with speaking Japanese if Spanish is his first language? You've clearly never been to Siberia. Wait, what?

    It's only a steal if last year wasn't a fluke and he puts up monster numbers again. Paying $8 mil for a guy who puts up 40-120 type numbers year in and year out is a steal. Paying $8 mil for a guy who did it in one season and then burns you the rest is a mistake. (See: Beltre, Adrian)
  11. Clem Fandango
    Believe it or not, I was coming on this thread again to post that exact thing, verbatim

    While his OPS wasn't as impressive as some of those years, 1930 Hack Wilson waves hello .356/.454/.723 1.177OPS 178OPS+ 208H 105BB 56HR 191RBI (still a MLB record)

    The only thing cool about this is that Jon Lieber can drive his truck to Wrigely and show it off. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/147/391492541_09236fa6ed_o.jpg

    wrong. No, you're wrong. He's lucky he played in the era of the all glove, no hit SS. He's probably one of the most overrated players of all time. As a kid in the late 80's/early 90's I knew about Ozzie Smith for one simple reason: He did back flips
  15. Clem Fandango
    If a big trade were to happen like a Santana trade or a Bedard trade, would Vegas change the odds for other teams since the season has yet to start? Or if you make the bet now with those odds do you keep those odds no matter what happens because you made the bet before hand?

    Catchers are far too high-risk/low-reward to merit such inflated rankings. As long as you can get one of the top-6 or so catchers out there, you'll be fine. I would reach on one if the only other alternatives were players the level of Estrada/Napoli, but there's more depth in the position than your rankings indicate. I definitely would not draft a catcher in the top 25. There's other disagreements I have, but that's moreso with Bill James. I see Towles is this year's Chris Iannetta, who he had as .900+ OPS last year. Yeah, but Martin is one of the few catchers that gives you a good amount of stolen bases though, making him more valuable than a lot of other players since he's at a typically offensively depleted position. So all others who might out perform from other positions won't rank higher because there's likely much more alternatives at those positions. While I think that ranking might be a bit high, I don't think it's too far off, especially if he repeats/improves on his numbers form last year

    You want more action? But seriously, ever since the Fukudome signing the offseason has sucked, and this is boring
  18. Clem Fandango
    This is the one that OleMissCub posted in the Social forum that got locked. It's a different version. Both are amazingly amazing
  19. Clem Fandango
    He signed a three year deal. And this has him retiring after year 3 of it. Yeah, this doesn't seem like anything new. I think by "Next season" they mean the 2009 season when his contract is up
  20. Clem Fandango
    I don't want him. His numbers were good last year, but never again anywhere else in his career, and last year he happened to play in one of the most notorious hitters parks in the majors. Hmmmmmmm... count me out
  21. Clem Fandango
    Does this include HOF'ers selected by the veterans committe? If so, Phil Rizzuto is crap flavored crap EDIT: Just looked at Aparicio stats. Gross
  22. Clem Fandango
    J.R. Towles sure is ranked high above some pretty proven fantasy producers considering he's had only 40AB. Are these rankings based on 2007 performance regardless of quantity of AB's? And are these your own rankings or are these from a website that has pre-ranked players? There is one thing about J.R. Towles that you can take to the bank though... his girlfriend/spouse is hotter than hot
  23. Clem Fandango
    That never gets old does it? Not as old as your face! OH SNAP! j/k. That does get old, but you gotta admit at one point it looked like the Reds were trying to get a monopoly on relievers
  24. Clem Fandango
    Interesting. I would've thought Jockety could've gotten another GM job pretty easily.
  25. Clem Fandango
    It'd take a kings ransom to get Ramirez away from them most likely. A ransom we probably can't afford. I wish we could though
