    as the article clearly stated, no pitchers with what anybody would consider major-league talent have been willing to train with him. But Rudy Seanez is one. I have a feeling that his mechanics just force mediocre results. Also, to take someone with good talent and completely retool his mechanics could ruin them. maybe... there's always that risk. Of course, you could take someone with good talent, let him continue with his bad mechanics (Kerry Wood) and he'll be ruined anyway. But the article talks about guys who mostly went in throwing in the upper 70s to low 80s - not exactly top-shelf arms. I think it would be foolish to dismiss a guy just because he hasn't been able to polish a bunch of turds into gold. I'm no Dick Mills here, but wouldn't it make sense that the guys that throw harder and have a lot of movement on their breaking balls would be more succepitble to injuries than guys who aren't putting such stress on their arms? And isn't Rudy Seanez always hurt?

    There was a post on BTF a couple days ago about teams who were up by 6.5 games+ at this point and only the Mariners in '02? didn't finish the year in first.

    Did you mean to say: Why hasn't Chris Elliot established himself for the comedic genius that he is? or, Why has Chris Elliot established himself for the comedic genius that he isn't? The latter. Stupid typing. The paperboy was one of the funniest shows in televison history. Get a Life.

    The funny thing is, that many people think his job depends on whether or not he can resign Ichiro. But if he resigns him, he'll actually hurt the team more. He can't win on this one. Ichiro is entering his mid-30's as a pretty hum-drum outfielder. But for marketing purposes he'll probably still command a huge contract. If he can hit .310 or higher, he will remain relatively productive, but anything under a .300 season and he starts to look like nothing special There are some people out there talking about what an amazing defender he is in CF.

    Bill Gates should sell all Microsoft products for 2 cents.

    The Cubs have banned beating women in the clubhouse.

    I'll be happy with either of them. Of course this is reading what others/scouts have said. I have not seen any of them play. I think we'd be best served to take Vitters. General consensus is that Wieters will slip because of his Boras connection... it's extremely doubtful he makes it to our supplemental pick, but it's a very remote possibility. I understand you said very remote, but it's not even that. There's simply no chance.

    I'm telling you, it's a Georgia thing. Corey didn't care, Farnsworth cared about partying it up, now Murton. Better watch out for EPatt. Barrett will stop caring pretty soon as well. He only cares about fighting and Derrek Lee's daughter. You're half right. He's been trying to not hit home runs so he doesn't have to fork over the cash. Today's ball was supposed to bounce off the wall.

    Crap, pee, run around naked. Whatever it takes... I'll definitely be naked the night the Cubs win the world series. Won't that be kind of offensive to the other old people in the retirement home? I'm requesting to be buried with no clothes on.

    Shoulda just said that. ummm, no. I gave three reasons on my opinion. 3 anecdotal reasons.

    They're also confiscating everyone's drivers licenses.

    Yeaaaaaaa Deron.

    A- Corey isnt worth that much. His lifetime OBP is lower than Neifi Perez's now. The guy is just a bum. B- We thankfully dont need more OFs. C- I would become a Cardinal fan. (ok, i wouldnt...but i would be very very angry.) On a happy note, Jon Leicester was one of the guys brought up to replace some of the Orioles DL cats. Nice to see him reappear after some serious type surgery. Hopefully he will do well. Wade Miller for Alex Sanchez. EDIT: Dammit, beaten.

    Jones is garbage against lefties, he's a very useful ballplayer against righties. One who's probably worthy of starting in CF against them. But why would people possibly have a memory beyond the past 6 hours?

    I can't believe the player's union agreed to leave it up to the player. That puts the player in a horrible spot. They go ahead and agree to release their records, so then when the next guy in the hunt is asked for his records everyone can point to player A and say HE RELEASED HIS!!! WHAT ARE YOU HIDING? WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR???

    Slovin and Allen do the best Who's on First you'll ever see.

    As mentioned, the Yanks regularly send their projects down to A ball to work with those coaches. The people in Tampa have a lot of clout in the Yankee organization.

    Another inning of Dempster and 3 from Cherry gets the game to the 15th.

    This Brewers team is better than that Reds team. And Doug Melvin probably won't trade away his team's playoff chances in July.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    The Reds got EXTREMELY lucky with Hamilton. It would've been stupid wasting our time with Hamilton.
  24. SouthSideRyan
    I'd agree that eventually he's going to have to be moved out and probably sooner rather than later, but I wouldn't rush to get a great bat out from a prime defensive position until I had to.
  25. SouthSideRyan
    Well as long as it's a croc.
