SLG tends to take a hit when a player comes over from Japan. IsoD and OBP, on the other hand, tend to translate fairly effectively. -
We wouldn't be Cubs fans without this awesome annual tradition.

You are happy with the starting pitching? I'm a bit eh on the starting pitching overall, but I think someone like Khalil Greene would do the Cubs more good than attempting to trade for Bedard.

Can you hide it?

If Navin hadn't locked the other thread, we'd be able to quote previous replies showing he has a great arm. Some of us can still quote it. You're basically doing this right now: http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/9889/houserunag0zm8.gif

Upgrade SS and we can call it an offseason.

Welcome to the Fukudome. Two men enter. One man leaves.
-
WGN News also had their teaser involving Fukudome.
-
Thanks Bruce!
-
That's a surprisingly good deal. I was legitimately expecting 5/$60
-
I'll do you one better, a new thread. Screw you, we're keeping this thread!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAW!

Sanchez and Lowry are a pretty substantial step behind Hill in terms of their potential and production. I think someone more along the lines of Sean Marshall would get the job done.

Can someone help me on the whole Pawelek fiasco?
Outshined_One replied to RammyFanny's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
His stuff has also gone flying out the window. The guy was supposed to have dynamite stuff and move quickly coming out of the draft. When he began his career in the Cubs' organization in the AZ League, everyone was praising his stuff and thought he'd be a likely bet to start 2006 in Peoria. BA named him the #1 prospect in the AZ League, allowing him to beat out Nick Adenhart for the honor. Since then, though, his stuff has taken a huge step back. It'd be one thing if he were out of shape, had bad mechanics, and still had pretty good stuff...but that just isn't the case. -
It's as I said a few days ago, I'd be fine with losing out on Fukudome if the team who signs him ends up signing him to a ludicrous team-killing contract.

Ok Monty....is it curtain 1 - 2 or 3? Don't forget to switch after they open one of the curtains with a goat behind it. Ahh man...did you have to say goat? That's the biggest problem with the Cubs. They never pay attention to the statistics and probabilities. :(

Hey and maybe after school we could go to Arnold's and get a burger and a shake! What do ya say? Golly gee paw...really?! Can we go to Stark's pond and skip stones, too??

The applicable legal phrase that works with Meph is that you have to take the bitter with the sweet. Sure, his personality is about as enjoyable as a fart in a crowded elevator, but he knows how to back his stuff up. As an FYI, Bedard was on the 60 Day DL this season for a strained oblique. He also had a knee problem in 2005 that caused him to miss a good amount of time.
-
Um...why does Fuku Clock put together not get through the word filter?
-
I can't say I'm a fan of DeRosa manning RF every day. He provides decent production for a 2B/utility guy, but as a RF, I'd want someone better. Soriano-Pie-Fuku would be a swell OF.
-
Doesn't Bedard have an injury history?
-
A dominating pitching staff is key, but as the Padres proved last year, you still need some help from your offense. Proved how? The Rockies needed a 163rd game to beat them and get into the playoffs.
-
They need offense in a bad way, but they have to get it either through upping their payroll and smartly acquiring free agents or through rebuilding from within. Considering their history of developing position players is just as illustrious as the Cubs, that seems problematic. Rios is a nice OF and everything, but he's nowhere near the level that would allow the Giants to offset any loss in production caused by trading one of Cain or Lincecum away. He would not make the Giants' offense much better, if at all better, than it was last season; especially considering Bonds won't be back. He'd be under their control for three years and would start to get expensive in a hurry thanks to arbitration. Moreover, the Giants would have Cain and Lincecum under control for a longer period of time. I could understand trading one of those two guys away for a good package of players with Rios at the center. But...straight up for Rios? That'd be lunacy.
