What could this solve? what you do is when ramirez gets back you bat ramirez 3 floyd 4 lee 5 No, you bat Lee 2, Floyd 3, Aramis 4, Pie 5 NO NO NO NO, DO NOTTTTTTTT MESS WITH PIE, LEAVE HIM AT 2!!! His profile fits better lower in the order. You want to maximize runs, you move Pie down. You want more "exciting" baseball, you leave him where he is. how do u figure putting a power hitter at 2 and a contact hitter at 5 will create more runs? thats backwards

knowing our natural ability to make terrible starters look great, i think you are right. I dont understand how we can kill good/really good pitchers, but just get shut down vs aweful starters...Kyle Lohse..

Speaking of eyes, he's supposed to have 20/10 vision. Scout.com interview with Vitters I know for sure Barry has good eyesight cos he uses "The Clear". hey also i was thinking about getting a subscription to scout.com, how is it? it worth it?

Speaking of eyes, he's supposed to have 20/10 vision. Scout.com interview with Vitters dude thats ridiculous, hes gonna be amazing. ha now thats something that would be awesome to experience, i wish i could get a day to see what it was like to have 20/10, it would be like walking around in high def. I have 20/15, but 20/10 thats like unbelievable.

06 - Evan Longoria (SS, Tampa) 05 - Jeff Clement (C, Mariners) 04 - Philip Humber (P, Mets) 03 - Kyle Sleeth (P, Tigers) 02 - Chris Gruler (P, Reds) 01 - Dewon Brazelton (P, Tampa) 00 - Luis Montanez (SS, COBS) 99 - Eric Munson (C-1B, Tigers) 98 - Corey Patterson (OF, COBS) 97 - Troy Glaus (3B, Anaheim) Wow, the Cubs did great with their last two #3 choices. One guy that never made the majors and one guy that could barely hit .250 in the majors. cross your fingers, hope the trend doesnt continue?
-
ya lol, im sure hes ready those high school pitchers are all u need to be ready for the pros, vitters is gonna be really damn good tho, from what i have read today he is projected to be a .290-.310 hitter with 35-40 homer power

I don't think it was a bad idea, they just have to keep repeating the message that this isn't the NFL and NBA. I don't think it's about a lack of effort, I do think some people may be putting their effort into the wrong things. But baseball is a weird game. Baseball is a game where you need great skill, and lots of time to hone those skills into real baseball ability. Anything can derail a promising prospect, such as injury, drugs, lack of dedication, complacency, a glitch that opponents exploit, etc. Baseball also drafts a ton of 17/18/19 year olds, while the NFL is strictly a 21/22 year old draft game. If you forced every baseball player to play 3 years of college, I think you'd see a much different result in the efficiency of the draft. Look at your top 100 high school football recruit list, and then look what they are doing 5-6 years down the road. I think you'll see a lot of busts. Check out of the 1st round QB draft picks and their success compared to 1st round pitchers. \ then y wouldnt they make a rule like that? wouldnt it make the draft more efficient? the players would still get here, they just would have a higher chance of really working out

i have tendinitis in my ankle, and im betting some other people here have at least some sort of tendinitis, but its really a b**ch to run on so i can totally understand Ramirez's supposed "lack of hustle." its so dumb that people ride him for it, ok would u rather have him do this every week? option 1, he goes a bit easy on the base paths and worthless situations like pop ups and hard grounders right at fielders and stays in the lineup every day hitting .300 with 40 homers and 125 rbi, or option 2, he hustles out every play no matter how easily he will be out and gets hurt like this every couple weeks and misses 3-4 out of every 15 games. ill take option one thanks

The point is, this isn't something to worry about in 2007. If, by the grace of God, Ramirez is healthy and chugging along and worthy of a 3 year extension come 2011, and Vitters is on the verge of breaking into the majors, then we can worry about position changes. Or, you trade Vitters for something else they need. lol ya probably a waste of time to worry about because things would need to follow the plan to near perfection for this to be remotely possible
-
ya it was a bad idea to televise the draft, its only going to make us waste our time thinking about guys that have a 1% chance of developing to their potential. I guess we are just used to drafts having the players who have a good chance to be the next big thing so its just relfex to think that way. I dont understand why its so hard to evaluate baseball talent, is it really that hard or do teams just not put enough effort into it?
-
my opinion tho is that the deciding factors with ramirez will be: 1. his health 2. how well Vitters is developing/how well Vitters does with learning a new position
-
I would predict resigning Ramirez to a 3-4 year deal at 33 would be unwise. it depends on how hes playing at the time, A-Rod will be i think 33 this offseason and people want to give him a 7-8 year deal, so A-Ram for 3-4 isnt that bad ARod is considerably better than Aramis ya thats y hes getting around twice the deal A ram would, but i think thats an unfair comment, ARod is considerably better than everyone in baseball, and is one the the 5 best hitters of all time, if not the best. um, unless I'm reading things wrong, you were the one who decided to bring ARod into the discussion ya i did, im saying that i dont think A-Rod is twice as good, yet twice the contract. ok but a better arguement would be that aramis will probably be better than a lot of 33 year olds who have gotten 3-4 year deals. I understand where one would be worried to giv someone with his history of health that deal tho

ya thats where i get worried with A-Ram
