    Podsednik was pretty bad in CF for the Brewers. The White Sox refuse to play him there cause they think he's so bad. And they play Mackowiak out there who's Sammy '00 bad out there.
  2. SouthSideRyan
    I think it was Lewin.

    You went to school with Doug Gottlieb?

    I wanna say Byrnes is a pretty bad defensive corner OF. He'd be brutal in CF.

    Seriously do you just copy and paste this everytime Aramis's name is mentioned?

    OBP - getting on base. That should be self-explanatory. I could care less if he's RH or LH, if he can bunt or run. He needs to get on base. What about the 7 and 8 hitters? 7 and 8 is where my worst hitters go. I don't move one of my worst 2 hitters up to the 2 spot just so that 7-8-9 doesn't suck.

    Pathetic, but not unexpected considering Chicago's history.

    We want you to stop writing writing loaded sentences like the one quoted above. Tell me what to say so I can jump on board with this "Cubs suck, Hendry sucks, everyone sucks" bandwagon. What I said above may have been loaded, but in response to 1908 it was absolutely right. How was it absolutely right? You've been misrepresenting my statements all night and then discrediting them. You said offensively he is atrocious. I feel and still do, that he can improve on his #'s yet because it doesn't fit into your projections or a calculation, he is terrible. I disagree. Better yet, compare those #'s to other 8 hole hitters in the NL and I'd argue he'd be just fine. Factor in what his defense brings and I like him at short and in the 8 hole. But it's a whole damn team of 8 hitters. What are you basing your hopes that his #s will improve other than optimism?

    I'm pretty sure you were one of the people on here pointing out how stupid we were for trading him while he put up his 270/.388/.495 line for Florida. Musta been a delayed ruination.

    OMG STEVE STONE FOR GM~! HE TELLS IT LIKE IT IS, CURVEBALL OUTSIDE CORNER!! I was just throwing it out there. I never advocated Stone as GM. I've pointed to Hawk Harrelson's failed short tenure as GM of the Sox as a precursor to Stone becoming a GM(which he never will). Wasn't mocking you, was using your post to show the Stone for GM crowd, that he's as big of an antiquated baseball idiot as the rest of the Cubs organization.

    If Clemens wanted a good shot at the playoffs, he should've signed with the Red Sox to begin with. It's not like he signed before the season started, and didn't know what position the Astros were in. McClane owes nothing to the prick, and I'll be ecstatic if he's pitching meaningless games in September.

    With Nomar hitting two grand slams. And Izturis making 4 errors.
  13. SouthSideRyan
    We're 20 [expletive] games under 500.

    I think scouting is very important when you don't already have a 5 year major league track record of suck. Or you have competent coaches who could fix a flaw that is identified by a scout.

    I want to die. Is that a real quote? paraphrasing, but that was the jist. Ugh. I need a drink. I need a gun.
  17. SouthSideRyan
    How about Josh Fields for Murton and McClain, and then we trade ARam for Aybar and Santana. Then we will resign ARam during the offseason and move Fields to LF. How you like dem apples? :wink: I'd do Fields for Jerome Williams, Matt Murton, and Wuertz Seriously? Done.
  18. SouthSideRyan
    Good point I read on BTF that I'm now shamelessly stealing. The Phils DFAd Ryan Franklin today. Why wouldn't they include Franklin in the deal so they could get rid of his salary.

    STOP POSTING THIS What Beltre's #s are now have no bearing on what his current contract is. Other 3B who apparently should hold out for 5 year 64M deals this offseason. Garrett Atkins Freddy Sanchez Joe Crede Mike Lowell Ty Wiggington Brandon Inge Chad Tracy Pedro Feliz Melvin Mora Hank Blalock
  20. SouthSideRyan
    LaRussa seems like he might be a decent person, Ozzie does not.

    What pitching is available? The Brewers are too far out of the race to rent a difference-making starter, trading for middle relief is not smart, and TNSSAAPP. I think Lee got a very good return considering he's just a two month rental. I [expletive] HATE TINSTAAPP. It's absurd.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    I own a Lugnuts hat. I'm proud of this.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    If you had the money to buy the Cubs, you wouldn't have made it making poor business decisions like that.

    This is a good deal for the Brewers. They have only a 4 percent chance of making the playoffs this year, so it would make little sense to hold onto Lee and let him walk in the offseason. Mench isn't eligible for free agency until after 2008, so they'll have him the next two years. PECOTA sees him as a 3.4 WARP player next year. Lee is projected at 3.8, so while Mench probably won't match Lee's production, he should come awfully close. Corey Hart (who has a .385 OBP right now) projects to have a 3.7 WARP next year. This trade paves the way for Hart to play every day, and it will allow the Brewers to platoon Mench and Jenkins - if they go that route (and I think they should) before trading Jenkins at the deadline next year. The Rangers have a very good shot at the postseason, and Lee should help. It looks like a good deal for both teams. It wasn't an either trade Lee to the Rangers for redundant parts or let him walk proposition. Lee should've been dealt for pitching, not a platoon player and a "proven closer"

    I agree with the Rangers crowd, I'm not seeing where this is a great deal for the Brewers. Can anyone tell me more about the prospect the Brewers got?
