    I say we offer them Macias.

    Nomar's starting at SS for Peoria tonight for those of you interested.
  3. Outshined_One
    FYI people, Nomar's starting for Peoria at SS tonight.

    Nomar's starting at SS for the Chiefs today! So far he's helped turn a double play, drew a walk, and scored a run.

    In the longterm, Kazmir for Zambrano will probably be a bad trade for the Mets, but right now, Zambrano is pitching better than Kazmir. He has a higher VORP, a lower ERA, fewer walks, much better runs prevented, etc. Kazmir is ten years younger than Zambrano, and we assume he will get better than he is now, but in the present, Zambrano is the better pitcher. At the time he was traded, Kazmir was considered by many people to be a top 5 overall prospect, the top left handed pitching prospect, and the #2 pitching prospect (behind King Felix) in all of baseball. Although I think Victor Zambrano is a decent pitcher, a prospect like that should net you much more than just a decent pitcher in a trade. It was also absolutely bizarre considering how far out of the race the Mets were when they acquired Benson and Zambrano last season.

    Forums mean as much as stuff written in a men's bathroom stall. If some one legit comes out and reports this, then we'll talk.

    I'm curious to see if this deal is true. If it is, I'd like to see what prospects they gave up to get Huff. Given Lamar's demands for prospects, I would be surprised if the deal was equivalent to Gerut + Marshall + Hill for Huff on the Cubs end.

    One more question Bo! :D What have you thought about Juan Mateo so far? He's posted some pretty nice numbers this season and seems to have been on a bit of a hot streak as of late. What kind of stuff does he have and how does he projects in the majors?
  9. Outshined_One
    Well, that's about it for me today. Later dudes.
  10. Outshined_One
    Not like his platoon buddy is helping much...
  11. Outshined_One
    About time Gerut got a hit.
  12. Outshined_One
    What a wacky inning. Wow.
  13. Outshined_One
    Why am I not surprised?
  14. Outshined_One
    It'd be like today when Murton has gotten on base. Instead of Jerome Williams attempting to bunt him over or flail at a bad pitch, you have an actual major league hitter up there who can attempt to drive him in.

    Cubs lead by 22 runs this season. They also have a BA that is .018 above the D-backs and a SLG that is .038 above. The D-Backs have a slight (.002) advantage in OBP. I'd say the Cubs offense is better. You know what I don't get? We are ahead of the White Sox in OBP, SLG, and BA, but they have seriously outscored us. What's up with that? Pitching. I dont think their pitching has caused them to outscore us. The DH is also a helpful tool in that regard.

    Oh dear Lord, this is unbearable commentating.
  17. Outshined_One
    I'm having flashbacks to that Jason Jennings game. Yuck.
  18. Outshined_One
    I say we get some of his old slumpbuster friends together and send them up to the booth to keep him occupied.
  19. Outshined_One
    Just a reminder, for those of you who are interested in the minors. We're doing a Q&A with Daytona Cubs broadcaster Bo Fulginiti in the minor league forum. Please head over there when you can to ask him questions about the Daytona Cubs! Nice K!
  20. Outshined_One
    Ask and ye shall receive. :D
  21. Outshined_One
    Uh oh. Len & Bob will be joining tHom and Grace in the 6th. This should be fun.
  22. Outshined_One
    Nice range and footwork by Derrek.
  23. Outshined_One
    Did the Diamondbacks start Casey Daigle without telling anyone?
  24. Outshined_One
    But...but...but...he's THE ADMIRAL!!!!!!!!!!
  25. Outshined_One
    I can see where you're coming from on that, but I'll take a guy who can keep a rally going via a walk or a hit rather than just a hit.
