    If OBP is "very, very important", then why bat someone 2nd who doesn't get on base? Honestly, he doesn't believe that OBP is very, very important. Nothing in the way he's managed the Cubs, or what he's said in the past about walks or aggressiveness at the plate, suggest that he values OBP. He's saying that because there are some knowledgeable fans and media who have started to get on his ass about the Cubs' lack of OBP ability and its correlation to the lack of offense on the team under his management. He's trying to say the right thing to appease those people. too bad he doesnt DO the right thng to appease those people

    This is true and I have proof! It is a strange planet called 'National'; here they are in their native garb watching the mother ship land: http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/images/2006/07/10/mwF5xYhk.jpg To show how big zambrano is next to a mere mortal, it should be noted that Yadier Molina is standing in front of the 2. omg thats funny.....lol

    its amazing, isn't it? we (as a species) run the gamut on our attitudes to others if Jones is getting racial slurs flung at him, I feel deeply bad for him. I hope he realizes that although alot of us may not like his prodution, we still welcome him as a human being...

    I'm going to guess that Wrigley Field itself has plays a significant role in that. Who OWNS Wrigley? Does the Trib take in all the proceeds from a game (ie Tix, concessions, etc?) Is there any money owed on Wrigley, or is essentiaully paid for?

    I'm here to say it. I was/am a Rich Hill doubter. I just can't trust a guy whos main pitches are curveballs...too easy to start hanging them and get rocked. That being said, congrates Rich. I hope last night was an indication of what you WILL do and not the previous starts. If you become a fixture in the rotation, and pitch that well the majority of times, I can be converted. This is the game everyone claimed he was capable of. Glad to see it.

    Just double checking, you're saying that you'd want the career .300/.350 guy over the career .280/.350 guy coming into a new season? Yep Sounds good. We'll disagree, in that case. I can understand you'd want to "lock in" production but personally I'd take the gamble. Again, more often than not the 300/.350 guy will be more productive. I've been reading though the thread you posted - good stuff. I agree w/you cfict. Given a choice between a CAREER .300/.350 guy and a CAREER .280/350 guy, I go with the .300/.350. But I think overall, its important to consider their CAREER #'s, and I doubt that two players could be as evenly matched in such a comparison. For instance, think of a SEASON with two guys battng .300/.350 and .280/.350. With JUST the view of those #'s, and not considering career #'s, I'm going with the .280/.350 guy. He will be less succeptable to getting on base due to errors, intentional walks, etc, and more likely to be on base for you. this is a great discussion, it extended my lunch break by 40 minutes. we need more of these :D

    I was thinking there had been talk of it but that he ended up not playing there. there was definitly talk. maybe Ronny was saying he had never played 2b at the MLB level.
  23. minnesotacubsfan
    Did Maddux force this deal? why wouldn't Hendry walk away from it if he wasn't goign to get what he wanted? why give in to Izturis when he just isn't what this club needed?

    what was his excuse in Boston, Cincinnati, Colorado and Minnesota? Bad clams, WKRP, rocky mountain oysters, and Canadians. one of these days, were going to invade Winnepeg and create our own little country called Minnetoba...

    Exactly. It's not like they play at 8 AM. Christ, I've been putting my time in, but not actually doing anything for years after bad nights of sleep. fixed
