  1. I don't like to speak in absolutes, but there is a 0% chance Fielder is re-signed before open free agency begins.
  2. I can live with the fan voting, but you can't have fan voting AND player voting AND manager picks AND 1 player per team minimums. The players vote from the pool of all player, and then their consensus gets voted by fans so you go to their 2nd pick, but then he gets hurt, and their 3rd pick was chosen by the manager, so you go to their 4th pick and Scott Rolen makes the all-star team because 8 moron players happened to vote for him. The manager has to take 1 2003 Devil Ray, but all the position player slots have been filled, so he can't take a worthy Aubrey Huff, so you wind up with Lance Carter, all-star.
  3. Just one of the many reasons I'm a better fan than you.
  4. When Szczur was not with Peoria during his college graduation, the team went 1-2. When Szczur was not with the Chiefs as he went to the Futures game the team went on a 2 game winning streak.
  5. I know Crow because he was a high draft pick. David Robertson, I only learned because I saw his absurd stats when he came on in relief vs. the Cubs. I was stunned that Avila was the leading vote getter at catcher, and still don't quite understand how this is happening with Joyce and Vogelsong.
  6. Holy crap, Clippard had 19 decisions last years in relief.
  7. I'd throw Marshall, Wells, Cashner and Mateo in that second group, and probably drop Marmol down to the 2nd group Of course Mateo might be dead.
  8. Raisin isn't going to Garcia's games, heckling him and telling him as such, so I guess I don't understand.
  9. I haven't really been following it, but wasn't he an original selection? I could've sworn I saw he made it when I saw the TBS ticker last Sunday afternoon. Yes, he's the lone National
  10. Are you expecting the '12 Cubs to give 1/3 of their starts to Casey Coleman, Doug Davis, James Russell, Rodrigo Lopez, and Ramon Ortiz? Because the '11 Cubs have played at a ~82 win pace when these losers aren't starting. I'm aware of that. But we can't assume health. Good thing signing Wilson would push Cashner/Wells to 6th starter. Or can we assume 2 starters being down at the same time for a long stretch again?

  12. Phil Rogers is another drooling buffoon that viewed Garza as a win for 2011 move, and is too incompetent to realize he's a key cog for '12 and '13.
  13. Well, he wasn't remotely close to being out there.
  14. It's not MLB, but the one where the guy kicks the catcher first before charging the mound ranks high in my book. Wasn't that spring training?
  15. like our SS? castro is not mike trout He's better. what makes you say that? Despite being 16 months older than Trout, I consider Castro a lot more raw when you consider he first hit the states just 3 years ago. He plays a more premium defensive position and has ~900 PAs of above average production at the major league level.
  16. Rolen has a 278 OBP
  17. The White Sox play by play showed a passed ball followed by Pierzynski replacing Castro. I assume this was Guillen throwing a hissy fit and not Castro somehow being hurt on a passed ball?
  18. Why since May 2nd? Because he had a good game on May 2nd. His BABIP before UM's timeframe was 242.
  19. Let's just say I'm expecting a lot from Castro
  20. I eagerly await the Williston Herald's take.
  21. that's because some posters are terrible and should be banned And some posters were terrible but shouldn't have been banned. FDB
  22. like our SS? castro is not mike trout He's better.
  23. Didn't even contemplate Jay Jackson?
