Marignal wins cost more the higher you go. The Mets and Mariners are the only ones the Cubs compare favorably to in that post. The Mariners were run by manure for brains Bavasi, and the Mets are a [expletive]. Beating those 2 out is nothing to be proud of. -
Do they still get to ride in the limo?

Yanks Inquire about Zambrano
SouthSideRyan replied to Sever82's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Fair points. 1) I'm not really suggesting pocketing the money as I'm suggesting we invest that in building the farm and/or trade acquisitions if we're in it at the deadline. 2) I'm certainly not suggesting we tank 2010. I believe Hughes will provide the value Z will at this point in time. Part of that is the slow decay of Z's value, part is the maturation of Hughes. 3) Mauer would be a great hitter if he were playing first, which is where I'd put him if Soto is still performing behind the plate. 4) Those additional holes will also come with additional money from the other contracts coming off the books 2) I like Hughes a lot, but I don't think it's that likely he matches Z's output next year. He's been hovering in the low 100s for innings pitched the last 3 years.(following a career high of 146) I'm not sure he can step right in for a full season right away.(and he'll certainly give back the marginal value Zambrano has at the plate/on the basepaths) I think it's obviously a win on a pure talent standpoint(when taking into account the salary), but disagree with the notion that Hughes = Zambrano. 3) If Mauer winds up as a 1B from the word go, it's most likely a bad deal. Mauer's going to get an assload of money because of his ability to catch. To pay him like a catcher while he's playing 1B is a waste of money. -
There is nothing exciting about this Jets/Falcons game. This is torture.

You have a strange interpretation of great. And contender.
-
good lord, who would take him? Any chance Bavasi can get a job before the season starts?
-
I have no idea what you're saying here.

2 points for me in confidence pool.

Your math in this thread is seriously flawed. As someone else mentioned, the $25M the Mariners owed to Silva was a sunk cost. What the M's were willing to do was pay an extra $5M over two years to have Bradley instead. No different than a free agent offer of 2/$5M, except that it also provided the M's an out from their horrible Silva contract. If another team came in with an offer that would've netted the Cubs more than $5M in savings, then they'd probably have Bradley on their roster right now. Apparently none did. That's not necessarily true. If Ricketts truly put a limit on the amount of money the Cubs could send with Bradley (which is just a terrible way to do business, and paints a grim picture of the future) then some team could've been willing to pay 2Y/10M but didn't have an awful, negative value contract to send back in return.

Unbelievable. This is worse than Utah and Bradley.
-
And why is Jeff Jordan walking on the court?
-
What the hell is Price wearing?
-
Put Griffey in there so we can actually get a rebound if he misses.
-
GREAT CONTROL DMAC
-
GO [expletive] STRONG

DMac is playing really well on offense. It's reminding me of what Turner did to us in their near comeback last year. Just constant high screen and drive at will.
-
Guess I should've said on offense. Tis and Davis have been abused on the glass.
-
We might not even make the tournament. This is pathetic.
-
Get Paul out of there.
-
The juniors are the only ones that came to play.
-
Georgia has like 82 offensive boards.
-
This is awful btw.
-
He might have owed up to it when being asked by the media. But he sure as heck didn't like it was all his fault. Basically when Milton was unhappy, he made everybody around him unhappy. Ryan Theriot was next to his locker and thats basically what he said. So even though Milton stats might have gotten better thought the season. He was still struggling in alot of big spots with guys in scoring postion. Which often made him unhappy and act like a idiot afterwards. Ryan Theriot makes me unhappy.
-
The Mariners are shelling out 6M over 2 years for him. The money they would have paid Silva was a sunk cost.
-
Hopefully the Cubs will be in Naples. :-$ don't tell Silva that. That was the joke.
