Cabrera isn't looking all that hot. I think Peter Gammons is liquored up.

Miguel Cabrera Rumors
Outshined_One replied to Roast's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Considering Pujols is a veteran of the Spanish-American War, I wouldn't exactly call him "young". -
I'm so thankful Dusty is not going Lee-Jones-Ramirez 3-4-5. That would just drive me insane.
-
I never trust anything that comes out of the NY rags. 99% of the time, it's BS.

I think a large part of that bemoaning centered on the way Dusty handles his bench. Neifi Perez is the perfect example. As a guy who can come off the bench and be a defensive replacement, he actually is pretty good. He plays good defense and is a switch hitter, so he can pinch hit when called upon. He's a very good bench guy. Yet, thanks to Dusty, Neifi is not limited to being a bench guy. We know that if Cedeno hits a bad slump, he might never be the starting SS again. Heck, the way Dusty plays his rookies, if Cedeno gets bumped from his starting role, he might see incredibly limited action from there on out. He wouldn't get the regular playing time and ABs he'd need to develop. I think that was part of the reason why everyone is so solidly against certain bench moves this organization makes. I don't think Cleveland has to worry about Todd Hollandsworth taking over a starting position in the OF.

Shapiro did a really smart thing when he traded Crisp away. Coco is not a leadoff hitter, nor is he a center fielder. He got pretty darn good value for the guy, all things considered. Also, I have a huge man crush on Brad Snyder. I think he's going to be a monster.

BEIS BOL!!!!

What does Kerry Wood have to do to stay with the Cubs?
Outshined_One replied to Rusch33's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
If he goes more than 180 IP this season with minimal DL stints, I think the Cubs will consider picking up his option. The odds are that the Cubs decline his option, but make a run at signing him to a reasonable deal. If he'd be open to becoming a reliever, I think the Cubs would make a harder run at him. He'd get more money as a starter, but as a reliever I could see him getting a really nice deal. -
Inside Info: "Pawelek not going to Peoria"
Outshined_One replied to Chris's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Stuff-wise, he would be a pretty good addition to Peoria. However, it could well be possible that the Cubs might see something in his mechanics that need work or something along those lines. On a related note, the weather has been unusually mild in the Midwest this winter and seems to be heading towards regularly being in the 60s/70s in the near future. This was one of the warmest winters I can remember. -
Anyone else think Barfield might make a strong run at NL ROY?
-
Ugh, that was going foul.
-
Well, the OF's defense should be an adventure this season.
-
Failed hit & run, but Bare didn't exactly help on that throw.
-
Tony Richie, mediocre offensive catcher with some decent skills on D.
-
Nice job moving the runner over Ronny.
-
Crowd's booing because the Cubs took Maddux out, haha.
-
Barrett tends to do his best when he goes the other way, no?
-
Jock made nice contact on that one. And he somehow managed to be safe at second.
-
Think Pierre could steal home at this rate?
-
Aw cripes, Pierre wears a hat under his batting helmet. However, cheap IF hits are always hilarious.
-
Three straight easy grounders. Nice.
-
Ball hasn't left the IF since Todd Walker's AB, haha.
-
Eric Young...meet Eric Junge!
-
Matt Murton with another fun squib hit. :D
-
Jock actually jumped into that. Nice.
