    Interestingly, I believe a few years ago a coach in another sport (it may have been track) made exactly the opposite move, going from Ball State to UNC-Wilmington.

    I traded the pick to Northside Baseball for A.J. Burnett and Chad Cordero (and Kyle Davies, who I subsequently released).

    I believe he's an NBA assistant now. He was a head coach in the CBA at one time, but I don't believe the CBA exists anymore. I think the NBA's developmental league replaced it. As a Cuse fan, I'm sure Smart is your favorite player ever. :D Isn't the demise of the CBA on Isaiah Thomas' resume? Pretty much. I believe he was sued over it at one time.

    As Ronnie Woo Woo mentioned, Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson is the man.

    I'm definitely rooting for GMU, but as far as who I THINK will win, I have to say UCLA. I hope I'm wrong.
  7. NCCubFan
    If I recall, a couple of weeks ago he was near (maybe even below) .200. So while .244 isn't setting the world on fire, it may at least be a sign that he's starting to get it together.

    Now that brackets have been busted to smithereens and #1 seeds have become extinct, who do you think will win it all?
  9. NCCubFan
    That's definitely a good thing. After already having two rounds of TJS I fear another serious elbow injury would be the end.
  10. NCCubFan
    According to cubs.com Williamson left today's game because of a lower back strain, not an elbow injury as the radio broadcasters were apparently speculating.

    As Dempster himself said when he was struggling last spring, Spring Training statistics don't go on baseball cards. :D

    The Cubs won't open with 12 pitchers ? This is the first year I can recall them going with 11 pitchers and 14 position players. Maybe with the stronger bullpen (Williamson, Howry, and Eyre) they don't see the need for an extra arm. I've always thought they should go with 11 pitchers and 14 position players. It's possible they'll start off that way, then add an extra bullpen arm when the injured starters come back because of concerns over how deep they'll be ready to go.

    I edited the title of this thread to reflect Halsey being traded.

    Until a few years ago, that would have counted as a no-hitter. Until rules were revised (I don't recall exactly when, but I'm thinking within the past 5--10 years) a game counted as a no-hitter if no hits were given up through nine innings, even if hits were given up in extra innings. That's why for so many years Harvey Haddix had been credited with a perfect game and Hippo Vaughn of the Cubs had been credited with a double no-hitter (along with Fred Toney of the Reds) even though both Haddix and Vaughn gave up hits in extra innings. Now those are no longer recognized as no-hitters. A team has to be held without a hit for the entire game, even if in extra innings.

    That makes no sense, because it had been known all along that he wouldn't be ready to start the season. There may be a clause requiring him to be added to the 40-man (as opposed to 25-man) roster. Hold up, I meant to say "40 man roster." I just re-read my post. Disregard the 25 man comment. That makes sense (it's fairly common for minor league contracts to have such a clause). That would mean that he could be placed on the 15-day DL but not the 60-day.

    Agreed, which is why I mentioned the 60-day DL idea as a hypothetical rather than a realistic solution to the issue.
  19. NCCubFan
    Not necessarily. The article does clearly imply 7 relievers, but it also states there would be no need for a fifth starter until April 15. So assuming he's talking about the Opening Day roster, four starters plys seven relievers adds up to an 11-man staff.
  20. NCCubFan
    Bruce to the rescue. In today's column he states that it is a given that Cedeno will open the season as starting shortstop.
  21. NCCubFan
    If Miller weren't expected to be ready until June, they could get around the issue by placing him on the 60-day DL to start the season (since the 60-day doesn't count against the 40-man roster, whereas the 15-day does). With the situation as it actually stands I see no justification for adding Grissom and having to remove somebody else from the 40-man.

    Every once in a while Baker makes a comment that makes sense. :lol: And he's just made that statement for this year. Time to go back to his normal Dusty-isms. :D

    Carpenter--25-3, 2.05 ERA, Cy Young, MVP Lee--.255, 15 HR, 65 RBI Reverse psychology. :D

    Group A--Arod Group B--Pujols, Aram Group C--Bay, Burrell, Wright Group D--Drew, Jacque Jones, Kearns, Sizemore Bonus--Prince Fielder
