    I'm not getting the Mathes comp at all. JR Mathes was Kirk Reuter. Rusin actually strikes people out and isn't as hittable as I am.

    Another thing to consider is that yeah, if you push the right button you can get lucky and get an 800 OPS from dumpster diving, but you can just as easily wind up with a replacement level player that way. From '09-'11 (sorted by qualified-no idea how that works over multiple years), there are 25 OFs with higher OPSes than Marlon Byrd.

    I think I lowered my plate appearance requirement to 400 or so, which is why I got more. I get 29 from '10 that way. While I understand the desire to lower the PA limit so guys who lost some time to injury/young guys called up in May are included, but it also leads to guys like Fukudome who weren't exactly full-time players.

    Think I was unclear as well. Wasn't addressing it to you.

    RUNENVIRONMENT RUNENVIRONMENT RUNENVIRONMENT RUNENVIRONMENT RUNENVIRONMENT RUNENVIRONMENT RUNENVIRONMENT Major League OPS is .714 this year. The previous years: .728 .751 .749 .758 .768 .763 .755 .748 .759 .782 .778 .755 .756 .767 .755 .763 .736 Is that enough?

    Looking forward to having no option but Colvin in RF next year, were you? If Jim Hendry can't manage to find a corner outfielder for less than $6 million that can put up an OPS around .800, he's worse than I thought. How many qualified OFs do you think have an OPS of .800+? Certainly a down year offensively, but there's typically over 40 outfielders with OPS's around .800, not to mention guys with potential that aren't playing, guys in the minors, etc. Finding a mildly productive corner outfielder should not be too difficult. 23 last year.

    Dude is unreal. I thought Washington or somebody random like that was in the lead. I want him bad, but I don't know if we're a real player. Your sorcery won't work on him.
  8. SouthSideRyan
    Considering he turned roughly half his targets into receptions, I'm inclined to disagree. The difference between him and Hester is probably negligible.
  9. SouthSideRyan
    I for some reason think we get Parker, but I'm afraid to even talk about it.
  10. SouthSideRyan
    I'd rather lose a recruit to Texas Tech than Kansas. Nunn's verbal has already been downgraded to "soft verbal"

    FTR, it's 30 days for a pitcher.
  12. SouthSideRyan
    There's a cap on the number of days a rehab stint can last. Not sure of the exact number though; it's like 10 or 15 days IIRC. Hopefully nobody in the league office finds out about Angel Guzman.
  13. SouthSideRyan
    How did I miss this guy's name earlier? [expletive] you Rebel Ridling.
  14. SouthSideRyan
    Can't Dick Stockton just go away already? And take his bastard son Sam Rosen with him?
  15. SouthSideRyan
    Well, that's cool and all. But one doesn't really have anything to do with the other. Kind of. People dont give the Phillies [expletive] over that trade. I know the Phils have been much better than the Cubs since, but still. Im sure tther teams have also traded away prospects or young players who have turned out to be stars for guys who did little to nothing for them. I guess I don't get why this trade still gets constantly blasted several decades later, almost as if the critics are saying that Lou Brock was the one guy who could have taken us to a World Series. Well, I'm not saying Lou Brock alone would have taken us to a WS, but he wouldn't have been too bad on the '69 team. How about on one of the teams that finished closer than a bajillion games out of first.

    We got Jenkins from the Phillies too.
  17. SouthSideRyan
    And it can't be rookie cause of Soto, and it's not home because I know Dawson hit one at Wrigley. Lefty maybe? ETA: Guess I misremembered, the Dave Martinez injury HR was in Montreal.
  18. SouthSideRyan
    He retired early so he could admire Mario's championship ring full-time. Probably has blood diamonds in it.

    "I'M SOOOO REEEEEEEEEALLLLLLLLL." http://www.thaindian.com/images/sammy-sosa-after.jpg Though at least he looks normal in that Cialis commercial. He just thought that was his best bet for Cubs fans to embrace him again. Well that was damn funny.

    Was thinking of Lee's against the D-Backs. That wasn't a botched play, just took a crazy bounce off the CF wall.
  21. SouthSideRyan
    Are there inside-the-park home runs that don't somehow involve a play being botched? Isn't it typically an OF diving for a ball and missing it, so it gets behind him, and then the other OF is slow to back him up? Sometimes it's just confusion about your own home parks ground rules if you remember Geo chugging around the bases in Houston. I thought that was Arizona.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    We could start by not giving 21 to any piece of crap who asks for it. Sammy was more about himself than the team? I always hated when the box score read Cardinals: 4 Cubs: 2 Sammy: 3. If only he had his HRs count towards the team.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    I just think it's funny for the agent to say that straight-faced when Kreutz was supposed to be Mr. team leader super-bear, but he wound up walking due to money.
  24. SouthSideRyan
    Besides being a cool guy, what's with your infatuatuation with CJ Wilson? I didn't even know he was a cool guy. Not a lot of miles on his arm, and has been an elite starter the last 2 years. Keeps the ball in the park in Arlington, so no reason he should be affected by Wrigley dimensions. Shouldn't cost more than the Dempster contract.
