    He's always been highly thought of, but his shoulder and finger injuries are puzzling and have made it hard to get a read on the guy. He's got the talent to be quite good, but it's just a matter of continuing his development and keeping his injuries to a minimum.

    But...but...but...but...but...Doug Eyechart won the World Series for Boston!!!!

    Looks like Brendan Harris might get his shot after all...

    Apparently they've been trying to work Hatteberg and Womack (ugh) into the lineup. Dunn was pretty much slated to start in LF from the get-go since he's rather defensively unsound...well, pretty much everywhere. However, that deficiency can be minimalized with him in LF. Pena demanded to be traded earlier in the season if the Reds had no plans of playing him regularly, so that didn't help his case very much. Their offense is still pretty strong with this trade, but with WMP's upside, you'd think they might have gotten something better out of it. Arroyo's career ERA against the NL is over 5, as memory serves me, and tends to be more of a flyball pitcher than a groundball kind of guy. This might turn out well for them in the end...but my gut says otherwise.

    I flipped the channel to this game...heard Joe Morgan's voice, then changed the channel immediately.

    He can also play 1B, so I figure we can expect to see him play a good number of games over the course of next season.

    Career-wise, he's .98 in GB/FB. This will turn out well. I noticed MLB.com lists the stat as GO/AO, defining it as ground outs and fly outs. And they have him at .97. Is GB/FB, for all balls put in play? Is there a difference in stats here or are they just labeled differently? Not sure, to be honest with you. I was using ESPN's stats.

    Pena has a much better ceiling and much better potential to reach his ceiling than Arroyo, imo. He's young, fairly athletic, mediocre defensively, and has jaw-dropping power. I think this one will end up coming back to bite the Reds when all is said and done.

    Couldn't cut it at SS, been moved to the OF.

    Not to mention the scouting department has been overhauled a few times during that stretch. Weren't there also some years where the Cubs had an extra first rounder and/or a sandwich pick?
  12. Outshined_One
    Well, on the plus side, he could have stood to lose some weight. Not like this, granted, but hey.

    They do have Olympic-level drug testing. We'll see if this is something serious or a non-issue, like forgetting to notify the heads of the WBC of a prescription.
  14. Outshined_One
    That's because he got a bigger signing bonus with Texas and could afford to do both. I don't think Colleges can give bonuses and such to students/players. Not legally, no. :D

    It'd be one thing if the referees were consistent and called a tight game on both ends. Heck, even if they called a tight game on just IL it'd be more acceptable. But the refs didn't do much in the way of calling fouls on IL until they were up by 12. Washington didn't even play all that well; all they were any good at was shooting FTs and that was it. Heck, Roy got more than half his points on FTs. That reffing was BS, imo.
  16. Outshined_One
    While GMU is having massive trouble with FTs. But naturally MSU can't hold onto the ball. This is getting ugly.
  17. Outshined_One
    MSU can't play defense to save their lives. Yeowza.
  18. Outshined_One
    MSU just sucks at rebounding tonight. Holy wow.
  19. Outshined_One
    GMU just keeps hitting three pointers. MSU is giving them plenty of great looks, needless to say. Anyone care to fill me in on why UConn is down by 10 at the moment?
  20. Outshined_One
    Cheapskates.
  21. Outshined_One
    That made me smile tonight. :D

    I remember seeing statistics done on the MLB Draft not too long ago about the rate of success per round in terms of draft picks. It pretty much turned out that the first rounder has the highest rate of success, with the probability of drafting a guy who makes the majors and sticking dropping off with every round that passes.
  23. Outshined_One
    Agh, don't make me hungry like that!!!
  24. Outshined_One
    I got Winthrop upsetting UT. It became too popular of a pick for me to take. I got Witchita State upsetting UT in the second round.
  25. Outshined_One
    Pretty impressive that a Big East team got to the ACC title game... um, he he, yeah in other news, i'm 2-1 (stoopid Pirates) good start to the tourney. 3-0 so far in my main bracket. :D
