    I'd make Hill off-limits in any trade involving Crawford unless the D-Rays want to send other players/prospects along with him. I like Crawford, but I'm a bit leery about how much he will continue to develop over the coming seasons.

    I prefer it as: *Expletive* you, do me!

    I can understand being bent over a barrel for a good player...or even a decent one. But Trachsel? Really????
  4. Outshined_One
    Wait what.

    Pie for Greene straight up, absolutely not. However, Pie for Greene and good prospects would be nice.

    I believe the Cubs ended up submitting bids on Matsuzaka, Igawa, and Iwamura last season, unless I'm mistaken. They were also reportedly interested in Kuroda, but he didn't come over to the States.

    I can now see what threads I've posted in! What manner of sorcery is this?!

    Then again, in all fairness to Kansas, if they're undefeated by season's end, they'll have taken down two likely Top 10 teams in Missouri and Oklahoma. That's nothing to sneeze at.
  9. Outshined_One
    It would also tell us absolutely nothing. Kansas would have played one or two real games and a lot of cupcakes (their schedule is STILL not top 100). Ditto for Ohio State, they would have pretty much run the table with a schedule that would be average for a mid-major conference team. Indeed. I think that game would be a great motivation tool to get the NCAA up off its rear and implement some sort of tournament system. I honestly think most of the other eight teams you have listed would handily defeat either Ohio State or Kansas. However, if all things remain constant through the rest of the season, we might see Ohio State/Kansas in the national championship with Hawaii getting a BCS bid. That would be problematic.

    I'm personally hoping for an Ohio State/Kansas national championship game. Kansas' football team playing for the national championship alone might rip a hole in the space-time continuum, but Ohio State is nowhere near as good as their rank, either. It might actually be a good game!

    My mind is blown!

    If the Giants are dumb enough, give them Soriano with some money to help pay him for Lincecum and run like hell.
  13. Outshined_One
    I'm happy he's fully recovered from his problems, but I hope he stays the hell away from the Cubs.

    Also, Porky Lopez was named bullpen coach. His background: 1996 Giants coaching assistant 1997 Giants bullpen catcher 1998 Giants bullpen catcher 1999 Giants bullpen coach 2000 Giants bullpen coach 2001 Giants bullpen coach 2002 Giants bullpen coach 2003 Cubs bullpen catcher 2004 Cubs bullpen catcher 2005 Cubs bullpen catcher 2006 Cubs bullpen catcher I see a pattern developing.

    Where are Sarge and Gene Clines when you need them?
  16. Outshined_One
    Don't worry, there's a Virginia guy on there and at the exact spot the Cubs will likely be drafting (#19).
  17. Outshined_One
    It's the most logical fit for Torre right now, imo.
  18. Outshined_One
    Dear Lord NO!!!!!!!
  19. Outshined_One
    Marshall and Colvin would have gotten the job done, but something tells me the Cubs value Colvin more than they should. I don't see them trading him unless it's for a big name. Renteria doesn't fit that bill, imo.
  20. Outshined_One
    Matt LaPorta, come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn down!
  21. Outshined_One
    Considering Jurrjens >>>> Sean Marshall...probably not. I like Jurrjens a lot, but Marshall is more advanced and had better numbers through the minors. Gorkys Hernandez, on the other hand, put up pretty good numbers (aside from power) in the MWL for a 19 year old. It would have taken more than Marshall and a throw in to get Renteria.
  22. Outshined_One
    I was really hoping the Cubs would draft him back in the day. Whoops.
  23. Outshined_One
    Fixed that for you.
  24. Outshined_One
    Buster Olney is a moron. Just wait. You know the columns coming over the next few months regarding A-Rod are going to be borderline insane at best.
