    The problems are going to be age and the money he's looking for. He's going to be 32 this coming season, so it's going to be harder for him to do as well in future years as he did during his prime. I like him a lot as a defensive threat, but breaking the bank on him would not be a good idea, imo. I'd rather see this team explore relatively cheaper options, lock up some guys with extensions, and wait until next offseason to go on a spending spree. There are going to be some really good FAs and RFAs next season who could have a much better impact on this team than Wallace.

    The two are not mutually exclusive. Even the dead think this team is horrible.

    Had the Cubs lost yesterday, they would have been swept in 9 of their last 17 series. Discuss.
  4. Outshined_One
    That was a borderline pitch, but probably would have been a strike.
  5. Outshined_One
    The crooked hat thing, too. Funny how Juan Pierre does most of those things...

    I hate how sloppy baseball players have been getting with their uniforms. Leaving the top button of the jersey unbuttoned, not tucking in pockets, wearing stupid shirts underneath the jersey, not tucking in jerseys... Guh.
  7. Outshined_One
    I am going to be unpredictable, and say the Cubs will lose. 8) *GASP!!!!*
  8. Outshined_One
    I predict the Brewers somehow manage to score in the bottom half of the 9th.
  9. Outshined_One
    Isn't that one of the biggest problems most young OFs have? I've heard from a number of places that balls hit right at the OF are always the hardest to judge, but I don't know if that's a load or what.

    Canzler's leading the league in home runs at this moment with 4. Not bad, considering how young the season is. Let's hope that if he becomes the next Harvey/Dopirak uber-power prospect, some one can bash some plate patience into his head. I don't care much for Ks as long as a guy shows he can walk on a consistent basis.
  12. Outshined_One
    That Daytona/Vero Beach game sounded like a scorcher. The Dodgers trotted out one of their best young arms, Scott Elbert, who threw 7.2 IP, gave up 1 hit, 4 walks, one earned run...and struck out 13. Yeowza!
  13. Outshined_One
    The highlight of the draft for me was Dan Patrick's exchange with David Stern. It was unbelievably hilarious with some surprising barbs exchanged.
  14. Outshined_One
    Dave Bush should be DFA'd for that. Who the hell gives up a HR to Pierre?!
  15. Outshined_One
    Marmol is doing well enough. Otherwise, whatever.

    I'm convinced one of two things is going on: 1) The entire coaching staff has already been given extensions. Absolutely no one has been fired this season, which comes as a complete and total surprise considering how putrid the offense and pitching have been. Typically teams will axe coaches as scapegoats, then hope things somehow turn around. So far, none of that. 2) Jim Hendry secretly has a grudge against Dusty Baker and is setting him up to fail. All of the comments he's been making so far seem almost tongue-in-cheek regarding this team and the coaching. How can anyone seriously be this convinced that the team still could contend? It's like Hendry is saying these comments, then probably goes back into his office and laughs his rear end off. That's the only rationalization I can do with this junk without getting to the point of me wanting to completely give up on sports altogether.
  18. Outshined_One
    I'm half-convinced that Hendry is saying this all tongue-in-cheek.
  19. Outshined_One
    I'm still baffled as to why no one has been fired yet. Cripes, do a ceremonial firing of Rothschild or Clines or SOME ONE!
  20. Outshined_One
    A sniper with a good sense of timing.
  21. Outshined_One
    If he had hit the 3B ump in the face, that would have been perfect.
  22. Outshined_One
    Perhaps, but I'd rather not find out if that is indeed the case. This season, Dusty's been riding him hard. He's been the best pitcher on this team since 2004. This team is so far out of the race that these delusions of being contenders is just a joke. There should not be any reason Z should be going 120+ on a consistent basis at this point.
  23. Outshined_One
    Actually, it sounded more like they were happy his bat was out of the lineup.
  24. Outshined_One
    His arm hasn't fallen off yet, he should stay in. Plus we're in a pennant race, dudes.
  25. Outshined_One
    Z off the hook again. I wonder if Dusty will trot him back out for the 9th.
