    Seriously, why even bunt there?
  2. Outshined_One
    He screwed it up.
  3. Outshined_One
    Why the heck does everyone on this team always show bunt? Z wasn't fooling anyone with that.
  4. Outshined_One
    I think most Juco guys wait until after the NJCAA World Series to make a decision on signing. As I mentioned earlier, they're given extra time to sign. Good performances there can help bump up signing bonuses.

    It's not so much as he's promising as he'd be a cheap in-house option to platoon with Jones in RF. No one thinks the guy will start, but he will most likely hit LHPs better than Jock.

    Ahhhhhhhh...I just saw it on ESPN's bottom line. The thread title hadn't been changed accordingly, either, so yeah.

    The new GM is Dayton Moore from the Braves.
  8. Outshined_One
    Hairston was one of those "take it or leave it" kind of guys for me. Decent player, but nothing special.
  9. Outshined_One
    Sammy for Nevin, Fotenot and the other guy. Adios, Jerry. We hardly knew ya'. Crouthers, who retired. The Orioles compensated with $$$ on that one.

    That "consistent, hard contact" part is what they take the most issue with. Apparently his plate discipline and pure hitting ability leave something to be desired.

    The entirety of that sucker is a classic: I think walks are overrated unless you can run," Baker said. "If you get a walk and put the pitcher in a stretch, that helps. But the guy who walks and can't run, most of the time they're clogging up the bases for somebody who can run." That kind of talk is nothing short of heresy for those in the OBP-is-king camp. Baker, an old-school sort, doesn't seem to mind. "Who's been the champions the last seven, eight years?" he asked "Have you ever heard the Yankees talk about on-base percentage and walks? Walks help. But you ain't going to walk across the plate. You're going to hit across the plate. That's the school I come from. "It's called hitting, and it ain't called walking. Do you ever see the top 10 walking? You see top 10 batting average. A lot of those top 10 do walk. But the name of the game is to hit."

    San Jacinto JC RHP Brad Depoy is under Cubs control. Since San Jacinto is in the NJCAA College World Series, the Cubs will have an extra 48 hours to negotiate with him after his team finishes. He's listed at 6'1 215 pounds, but I'm having a bit of trouble finding his stats.

    A Partial List of Signings I'm currently trying to figure out who the Cubs have under control and whether they've signed or not. I believe LV Ware is among them...
  15. Outshined_One
    Actually, the big rumor is that Hendry has already given extensions to the coaching staff, but has been waiting for a winning streak to announce it. Entire coaching staff or just Dusty? Either way it's a complete joke if true. I've heard both. It would explain why there hasn't even been a ceremonial firing yet, be it Rothschild or Clines, despite the putrid offensive and pitching performance.

    I'm still convinced that's not the real Booster Gold.
  18. Outshined_One
    :-s If you mean their major league team, it's pretty nice. But their farm system is absolutely putrid beyond Milledge and Pelfrey (with a nod to Humber, who was struck with the dreaded Tommy John Disease) thanks to the fact that they traded the farm to the Marlins. By the way, check Transactions. That Clemens part is no longer a possibility.

    http://img432.imageshack.us/img432/7749/clemens7iw.jpgOldLOL: Well, I do have something important to tell you. http://img432.imageshack.us/img432/1061/showalterrang9bq.jpgShowalterTheDoor: Well, what is it? http://img432.imageshack.us/img432/7749/clemens7iw.jpgOldLOL: I'm retiring. http://img432.imageshack.us/img432/1061/showalterrang9bq.jpgShowalterTheDoor: Alright, well at least now we know yer done. That wasn't so hard now was it? http://img432.imageshack.us/img432/7749/clemens7iw.jpgOldLOL: Yeah, I'm thinking I'll retire for my usual 3 months which would bring me back just in time for the All Star Game. http://img432.imageshack.us/img432/1061/showalterrang9bq.jpgShowalterTheDoor: Aw *** damnit! http://img432.imageshack.us/img432/7749/clemens7iw.jpgOldLOL: Yeah! That way I could solely be an All Star Game pitcher. http://img432.imageshack.us/img432/1061/showalterrang9bq.jpgShowalterTheDoor: But ya got croaked in the All Star Game last year. The only reason ya got the nod was b'cause everyone thought ya were retarin. http://img432.imageshack.us/img432/7749/clemens7iw.jpgOldLOL: Exactly! And they'll continue to think that until I'm dead! Hahaha the system works!

    Thanks DJaxx! How did Pie strike you?
  21. Outshined_One
    Limited opportunities, bad reads, and sample size.
  22. Outshined_One
    And Henry Blanco for 10 games. There is no God.
  23. Outshined_One
    Exactly. My big fear is that the Cubs call him up this summer and let Dusty and his band of merry morons get their hands on him. They've already done a number on Murton...who knows how bad it would get with Pie?
  24. Outshined_One
    Remember how many people thought Harvey was the fourth best prospect in that draft behind Delmon Young, Ricky Weeks, and Adam Loewen?
  25. Outshined_One
    .267/.340/.435 with 5 HRs, 9 2Bs, and 4 3Bs, 4 SBs, and 6 CS in 191 ABs, to be exact. That K/BB of 44/18 could use some more work, but it's actually an improvement over the past two years. He also seems to need some more coaching on what to do on the basepaths (but not the same kind Corey got). Yeesh, he's quite young for AAA (21) and it's barely two months into the season. Don't throw the guy under the bus yet.
