    I used to read http://www.orangewhoopass.com, but I haven't been there recently. That's quite the funny website title considering their current circumstances

    I wish I could take my vote back in the Worst GM poll so I could change it

    http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3170166 I wouldn't say they've strengthened their middle relief just yet

    Chose the Padres because of their great ballpark and medical staff. I'm sure he'll become acquainted with them quite rapidly

    I've actually been losing sleep at night not knowing where Miguel Olivo was going to play next year. Now that I know, I might be able to get those precious hours of sleep I've been deprived of since the season ended. Thank you, Kansas City! GOODNIGHT!

    Brewerfan is a good place to read up on the MLB Draft. The Hardball Times also has minor league stuff posted on occasion. Minor League Splits is really helpful for nuanced stats. Baseball-Reference has a minor league section. During the course of the season, this forum is hopping. We have a bunch of posters who are involved in baseball in a variety of capacities (announcers, writers, scouts, etc.). Plus, we have daily threads dedicated to minor league box scores and people who are following the game. Word up. Thanks!

    mm hmm... Im like totally 4 serial you guys. On a serious note, I drafted the two wide receivers that USA Today deemed the biggest Fantasy WR Busts of the year, Reggie Brown and Lee Evans. Not to mention Willie Parker really sucked this year compared to last. And my keeper sat out for like 5 weeks because he was injured/smoked a lot of weed (Travis Henry). I'm shocked I even made it to the playoffs.

    quick unrelated question to the topic... What sites do you guys use to keep up on the minor leagues so well. I assume Baseball America and Scout, but are there any other free sites that are good for MiLB (besides milb.com, of course). I hate not being able to throw in my 2 cents on minor league talk

    i'd hate to sound like i'm lying, but i'd like to think that i'd try to be loyal to the team that drafted/scouted me. I think I'd be a mixture of both. I'd give the team that drafted me priority over my favorite team, but only if they made me a better/equal offer. Like if I had a breakout year for the Mariners if they drafted me, and they and the Cubs offered me a a contract to the tune of 3/20 or something reasonable, I might stick it out in Seattle. If Seattle offered me 3/25 and Chicago offered me 4/40, I'm on the next flight to the Windy City. And by these numbers and my skillset, it means days/cents.

    Um, all they needed to do was tender him a contract. They absolutely did not do everything they could. The fact of the matter is the cubs had the final say and they said "good bye". Why in the world would they have tendered him a contract? Especially considering that the best deal he could get on the free agent market was a $1MM guaranteed deal for 1 year. Something in his medical records was scaring other teams away. The report said he turned down multi year offers with bigger base salaries. My whole interpretation of it is that he thinks he can come back strong, and knows that if he does, he can go out into free agency and make a killing next season, and if not, he can still ride the coat tails of his 2003 season into a smaller multimillion dollar contract if he wants to

    really? ya rly
  12. Clem Fandango
    He's actually referring to the 2003 Cubs team, back when they were a power prior to any season that succeeded it
  13. Clem Fandango
    i think he was just proving a point that not all the big name players are actually as good as advertised. Willis was one of the worst pitchers in the majors this year and at the same time hasn't been as dominating as people seem to think he's been throughout his career. I think he, as well as anyone with a pulse, knows that Willis is leaps and bounds better than Marquis, but was trying to make a point that Marquis was better this year than Willis when someone said Marquis isn't nearly as good as Willis. In actuality, I think they're both right. I personally think Willis is overrated. That's not to say I'd rather have Marquis on the team though. Marquis is a joke

    *cough* 2003 NL Central Division Title *cough* And I know you're kinda joking around, but for no apparent reason I'd like to add that I hate when certain players are labeled as "winners" and "this guy wins everywhere he plays" when it's completely obvious that one man can not take a baseball team anywhere by himself. That kind of analytical nonsense really gets on my nerves. I hope people don't use that in the future when writing articles about Fukudome

    Ironically accurate THE MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES!!?!?! yesss Yesss indeed. Oh, and Prior probably isn't even close to flipping off the camera in that picture, just a bad angle in the middle of a common hand gesture (not the finger). Although I see thousands of fans getting irate over it in the future
  16. Clem Fandango
    Crapped out in the 1st round of the playoffs. Brett Favre really screwed me in a totally non-homosexual way

    Bill Bavasi is such an idiot
  20. Clem Fandango
    Markakis please. Honestly, I can see the numbers Markakis put up this past year as a ceiling for Pie's production sometime in the future, but with more SB and less RBI. Whether or not he gets there is left up to him, but I wouldn't be surprised if he one day put up similar numbers in one of his seasons. If he did, I'd be very content with that
  21. Clem Fandango
    Well at least Angelos doesn't look at his players like a walking dollar sign and actually has some attachment to them as human beings. Then again there's a reason the Orioles suck something fierce, so...
  22. Clem Fandango
    I don't like it when the somewhat incompetent management of my favorite team is surrounded by more incompetence. But that's just how I feel about it, so.
  23. Clem Fandango
    Marshall Marquis :lol: he said major league ready. Sick burn :lol:
  24. Clem Fandango
    He could support it but he doesn't feel like it. A luxury you have when you fool yourself into thinking you're smarter than you are is never having to prove you're right nor accept you're wrong - and if you come out looking like an idiot you don't have to care because you're a genius and they're the idiot, Jesus! Meph takes to the Bart Simpson "I can do that but I don't wanna!" school of proof. Wait what post is this attacking Meph wrote "Pie sucks, Ronny's better" or something.

    2006 Bedard's opponents OPS 775 (dropped to 744 last year) 2007 Hill's opponents OPS 730 Again, these stats are not OPS against, these are the batters the OPS for the year that they faced. Okay. Is that a testament to the worse hitting in the NL and the worse pitching in the AL? Or the better pitching in the NL and the better hitting in the AL? I would also like to add that the opponents OPS of 730 was probably so low because Rich Hill is so stupendous that had he not been pitching it likely would've been 1.028 :wink:
