  1. I think the excitement has to do with the fact that he's the top prospect in this system and has received quite a bit attention for the past few years. It'd be the same if he were playing at any other position or pitched; we've heard quite a bit about the guy and now we can finally see him in action! Whether or not he succeeds remains to be seen. I'm not going to pass judgment on the guy in his first callup one way or another since we've seen plenty of guys come up, hit really well, and then hit a wall and we've also seen guys who've come up, sucked wind, but was later able to come back and play well. However, I'm still quite excited. :D
  2. Is Renshaw going to be in the rotation?
  3. Yes. Pie has a hot bat right now and needs as much playing time as possible. If Soriano goes on the 15 day DL, Pie better be playing in CF in as many of those games as humanly possible. His development is almost at a point where he can only continue to improve if he faces major league pitching.
  4. We still have Ben Wallace, and I don't know see how its any skinnier than Tyrus, Deng and Nocioni. Durant is 6' 10" and what like 185 pounds? That's a string bean. 220. So...no, not a string bean.
  5. I thought scouts were all dirty old men. Most of the ones I know are. But then this is a family board so lets not get to much further down that road. Ahhhh...the always unintentionally hilarious scouting reports. STRONG FRAME, SOFT HANDS, SINEWY AND MUSCULAR ARMS, CHEST LIKE A WASHBOARD, ABLE TO GENERATE TERRIFIC POWER AND THRUST WITH HIS HIPS.

  7. Brandan Wright's consistency and polish worry me. He's got incredible upside, but a guy like him should have put up better numbers than he did over the course of the season. I'd take Oden or Horford over him without question. I'd love to have Durant, but it'd be impossible to get enough playing time for him given this team's lineup. I'd seriously debate trading down if the Bulls get the 2 for that reason.
  8. I know you're new here, but you might want to keep the language PG.
  9. Well, at least Lou's not afraid to shake up the lineup.

  11. Dick Pole had a lot of fun with that.
  12. I think Floyd swings for a homer on every swing, Len.
  13. Man, two coulda been swings for Barrett. I want those back.
  14. For heaven's sake, Jones simply sucks against left handers! Can't anyone figure that out?!
  15. as long as its not coffey. i missed the guys warming up. Stanton and Saarloos were the two warming up.
  16. SIT WILL OHMAN DOWN NOW. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY KEEP HIM OUT OF THIS GAME.
  17. Jeff Brantley or tHom Brennaman? Thom I believe I'll guess the collective IQ of that booth does not equal their collective shoe size.
  18. You mean the cutoff man? And where Jeff Samardzija?! Huh? What does Samardzija have to do with anything? Brady Quinn sang the stretch with some members of his Notre Dame team.
  19. You mean the cutoff man? And where's Jeff Samardzija?!
  20. Cause we had no outs and 3,4,5 coming up. it was dumb. Soriano is fast enough to score He hadn't even gotten to third when Freel fielded it. There's a really good chance he would have been out at the plate.
