    Too good not to share. :lol:

    MLB said they would step in if anything like that happened. Also, the Red Sox have a strong need for starting pitching. They really could use Matsuzaka.

    What the heck happened to Saito?
  5. Outshined_One
    I hear he's got a wicked cutter.
  6. Outshined_One
    Would he even know? He's probably closer to the proceedings than Buster Olney. It could be possible that Olney got his hands on the Red Sox' bidding amount and thought that it was not going to be beat...only for another team to actually submit a higher amount. :shock: Or maybe he made something up. Who knows? It's not like Boras has anything to lose by telling everyone that.

    Perhaps loading up to make a play for Cabrera or Willis? That wouldn't surprise me in the least.
  8. Outshined_One
    Am I the only one who's noticed that the Yankees seem to be stocking up on right handed pitching in their farm system?
  9. Outshined_One
    That's borderline insane. Wow.

    I feel like Cartman waiting for the Wii Come on...Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn...

    I don't see Miller as a possible #3 for this team, given the team's current structure and his recent health. He'd make a fine option among the group of Prior/Marshall/Guzman/Mateo/etc, but I think it would be a mistake to see him otherwise. This team still needs an ace and an inning-eating #4. Miller does not qualify for either, imo.

    I dig his competitive attitude and his openness, considering how much time he spent with the foreign players. If the guy won't have much trouble adjusting to American culture, that'd be one less thing for a team to worry about. We'll see what happens. I don't know enough about him in terms of his athletic ability, so whether or not he can play 2B or CF is a concern to me.

    "The Cubs are LYING!!!!!!!"
  14. Outshined_One
    Plus that $30m would not find its way into said player's pocket.
  15. Outshined_One
    Definitely a step in the right direction!
  16. Outshined_One
    It don't matter to DeJesus!
  17. Outshined_One
    There are other Japanese pitchers out there for the Cubs to pursue beyond those two. However, it sucks that there is now one less on the market.
  18. Outshined_One
    Is this a Top 100 list or just a list of guys to keep an eye on? Nice job putting this all together, by the way.
  19. Outshined_One
    The question is also how much it'll cost monetarily to keep Wells beyond this season. He's a good player, but not worth $15m a year.
  20. Outshined_One
    He was originally drafted as a SS by the Tigers, but they moved him to 3B because he simply did not have the tools needed to play that position adequately.
  21. Outshined_One
    It depends on what the Cubs would have to give up. I personally think Wells is overrated, but he's better than most other options the Cubs have for CF. Depending on his salary, they could still acquire Soriano to play a mediocre 2B while pounding the heck out of the ball. Given the Blue Jays' inclinations, I'm guessing the Cubs don't have much in the way of position prospects that would interest them. Looks like pitching would probably be the way to go.
  22. Outshined_One
    Ouch.
  23. Outshined_One
    Protection isn't usually ever a factor. As far as having a metric to measure it's effect? My memory is that metrics tend to show that it doesn't matter how you construct a lineup in terms of the batting order and its productivity. Could be wrong, though.
