    Yep, he began his career with the Braves while Aaron was still with them. He was on the team when Aaron surpassed the Babe. Wait so your telling me he was our manager for 4 years, and I never heard about this from him? Not once?? If I was him, I would have mentioned it as much as possible. Dusty played baseball?

    No Michael Main in the Top 10? Ouch.

    I'd rather have a guy who gives 75% and hits .290/.392/.523 than a scrappy hustler who gives 100% and hits .243/.260/.316.

    Two words: Scott Boras The Cubs never had a problem negotiating with Boras. Where is Justin Jackson project to be picked? Correct, but Boras' high school clients are almost impossible to sign. Pawelek was the exception. The vast majority of the time, Boras' guys go to college. Jackson may be a different case if he gets picked this high, but that is something that is worth keeping in the back of your mind.

    How about Juan Gonzalez?

    If we get Lou, and then the Sox get ARod, my interest in baseball will severely deteriorate. :( Didn't A-Rod make Kenny Williams swear off Scott Boras clients? I swear I could remember Boras using the White Sox as leverage in getting A-Rod his ridiculous contract, despite making it seem like A-Rod was willing to sign there. Kenny Williams was really, really angry because of that.

    The problem with Cirruses is that those parachutes are usually rather useless. The Cirrus:

    From all accounts, he's still a monstrous power hitter and a good defender with a strong throwing arm. However, his plate discipline is decidedly lacking. He's the kind of guy who will drive both traditional and sabremetric people nuts, since he strikes out a ton and rarely walks. Unless he somehow manages to start posting better walk numbers, the odds of him becoming a superstar are quite slim. At best, it seems like he'll be a Dave Kingman-type. However, considering he still has AA and AAA ahead of him, that remains to be seen.

    The gyroball is a myth that was debunked in another thread. Apparently it's feasible, but Matsuzaka doesn't use it. Also, I didn't see Iwamura down there.
  11. Outshined_One
    Here's a quick list of some players of note. I'd take his predictions with a grain of salt. You can find career stats for the players listed at japanesebaseball.com. Hm, no Iwamura. Matsuzaka is clearly the top guy out of this crop, but I like what I've read about Kuroda. He might be worth a gander, especially if he can be had for cheap. He is 32, but hey, an innings eater with good stuff is always welcome.

    Bingo. Although, a Verlander + Granderson for Lee + spare parts deal would be nice... Granted, it'd never happen, but a man can dream.
  13. Outshined_One
    $12m for Hunter's production? Ew. Stay away, Jim.
  14. Outshined_One
    If Ramirez opts out and leaves, mayhaps Iwamura will be posted... He's put up some good numbers, as memory serves me from when 1908 posted them.

    Listach was at West Tenn this year, Quade at Iowa. Whoops, I was thinking about Alan Dunn.
  17. Outshined_One
    Listach was one of the primary reasons why Rich Hill did so well in AAA. Quade I don't know so much about.

    My offense might stink, but my defense is as good as the '85 Bears. 8)

    Here here! Let's show everyone what Cubs fans can do. Even if it's just a couple of bucks, it'll be worthwhile!! :D

    Which means even if i hold on for the win (SCORE UPDATE PLZ) you will keep your spot in 1st place because you should have a massive points lead on me. Lost 39-47. http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/983/nelsonqc4.gif HA HA!

    He's as good as his numbers say. He got two sacks against Walter Jones last week and this week he played quite well against a good OL.
  22. Outshined_One
    Given how athletic our DL is, I wouldn't be surprised if they could! :shock:
  23. Outshined_One
    I should have started Benson. :evil: I thought the Indy/Tenn game would be a blowout with LenDale White getting plenty of garbage time carries, but noooooooooooooooo. :roll:
  24. Outshined_One
    He turns 27 in November. I'd understand that argument if he were much older, but he's just entering his prime.

    I love Rashied Davis' TD celebration. Simple, yet elegant.
