  1. I'm pretty sure he's just hanging out in the dougout, not with any trainers or anything. Not sure what the deal is. Or that might be a different fat guy.
  2. Most of the talent on that team is really in the rotation. Fried, Joe Ross, Zach Elfin, Walker Weickel. Baltz has solid power and Tissenbaum could be a good 2B, but they've got a ways to go. Would love to hear how (hopefully not horrible) Shoulders and Contreras look in the field. Thanks. My insights probably won't be very insightful, but I'll pass along what I see.
  3. Who are the top guys for the Ft. Wayne Tincaps besides Fried? I'll be there tonight to give a live report of how much of a fat ass Vogelbach is.
  4. Baez again!....daaaaaamn.
  5. So the Yanks' starting lineup to begin the year: Ichiro Jeter Cano Youkilis Travis Hafner Juan Rivera Boesch Fransisco Cervelli Gardner Woof. I could see Gardner having the highest WAR of that group. That lineup is going to absolutely mash, come 2005.
  6. This board is like a never-ending episode of Everybody Loves Raymond and you're all Debra. Nailed it.
  7. I was really confused when the article I saw had a picture of him in a Cubs jersey.
  8. I've been voting Torreyes for a few rounds now. I don't know much about evaluating prospects, but I just have a feeling that he's going to be a very solid major leaguer. Yep, your little rating system is being tainted by my feelings.
  9. Do people not think Whitenack will bounce back or am I over-remembering how good he was before his injury?
  10. I'm not sure it's the same thing. I'm quite sure it's not the same thing. When you're paying Soriano a billion dollars more than anyone else is offering, you can definitely say "I need an immediate answer" and you will obviously get one bc people like money. But you can't make a perfectly reasonable offer to a guy that would prefer to sign with a team that was just in the WS and say the same thing. You'd lose credibility and not get the deal done anyway. The Soriano contract was signed before Theo and Jed came along. What does that have to do with anything? It was a prime example of what he was talking about. The Cubs offered Soriano so much that he couldn't pass it up. That sort of strategy is the only way to ensure you get an immediate agreement. That Theo/Jed didn't sign him is irrelevant to what he was saying. The way I read it was "they did it with Soriano, why not Sanchez?" Of course, I only skimmed it. I'm a busy man.
  11. That said, our rotation with Garza, Haren, Sanchez, Delgado is going to be pretty badass.

  13. Upside: You get an early start on whining today.
  14. "Yeah, I know you're the head of a billion dollar enterprise in my city, but you want a different person to be President than I want to be President. Go to hell!"
  15. As Theo will tell you, the key to poker is saying that you have pocket aces every hand. That way everybody else folds. It's called bluffing.
  16. Jackson and Vitters were the Christmas gifts. Raley's more the type of trinket that I used to get for day 3 of Chanukah. Part of why I married into Christmas. Anything's better than a lump of cole(man) in my stocking. I was starting to worry about the strength of your Christmas metaphor, but you really brought it home.
  17. I hope Baez can match Villanueva's 1.929 OPS.
  18. Baez promoted to Daytona. http://peoria.chiefs.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120804&content_id=36111518&vkey=news_t443&fext=.jsp&sid=t443 Holy crap, I haven't seen this before.
  19. Mildly disconcerting that he can't even spell what he does for a living. I actually made that same mistake today. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
  20. Maybe B Jackson is in there and we get Delgado. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
  21. Why the hell would they have done that? OMG!!!
