Zack Greinke leaves Royals camp
Transmogrified Tiger replied to wolf stansson's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
What about a 22 year old who put up a 3.97 ERA and 1.16 WHIP the year before last? It's stupid for Greinke to get upset about not "automatically" being in the rotation, and it's equally stupid for the Royals not to put Greinke in there considering the alternatives. -
Yeah we suck. But hey, Mizzou baseball plays their first home game tomorrow. Scherzer! I'm gonna try to make at least part of it. Yeah I have a meeting at 3:30 so hopefully I'll get there sometime before the 3rd...does Scherzer have the mound? I assume so. He last pitched on Friday so he'd be on normal rest. It'd also make sense to go with your ace for the home opener too.

Thanks for the clips. I didn't know Farns took down Affeldt last year. What happended there? Runelvys Hernandez hit Carlos Guillen in the head (I think it was Guillen) so Affeldt felt it necessary to poke at Farns. Farns then dropped him. http://www.progressiveboink.com/dugout/archive/dugout7-19a.htm I had forgotten how great those AIM logs were. Zambrano signs his 6.5M contract

An idea I've seen floated that I like is bringing in Majerus and Larry Drew. Majerus gets the program on its feet while he's physically able to coach, Drew gets experience recruiting and coaching at the college level, then takes over for Majerus after a couple(?) years.

"he got racky tacked" may be the greatest thing I have ever heard a broadcaster say.

What about after the world series? After the regular season those participating could work out some with their new team to stay sharp, then when the WS is over you have the classic, if players get hurt it's the best time for them to get hurt, and baseball is still fresh in people's minds from the WS.

You're wrong. And when are you high on anyone, or anything, ever? edit: 3/20 is awful. have to admit that. .263/.304/.368, 74 OPS+ v. .270/.301/.380, 65 OPS+ Both are reputed to be excellent defenders(Wilson probably better), and yet at least one metric using PBP data has them not near the top of the pack(with Wilson being better). What else would you call the difference between them?

Slightly Slower than Usual
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Andy's topic in North Side Baseball Issues & Suggestions
I haven't had any problems in a while. -
He may be better than the metric I cited has him, but even if he's a top flight SS, he still can't hit for anything. He's basically the white Neifi. It's not difficult to find someone who can net you the same production. Regarding his .300 AVG season: 2001: .265 BABIP 2002: .287 2003: .282 2004(.300 season): .333 2005: .274 That season pretty much exemplifies "luck".

Bruce Miles Article on Cedeno
Transmogrified Tiger replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
That is an extremely poor way of judging a prospect and his chances. Not to pronounce their careers over, but it worked pretty well for Hee Seop Choi, Bobby Hill, and Jason Dubois, none of whom did anything worth writing home about in their big league auditions and all of whom are now gone and not having much impact on their new teams. I don't know what else to say other than that ignoring a much larger sample in lieu of a small amount of playing time under wildly varying circumstances is very foolish. It may be a small sample size, but it's also the only true indicator of performance against that level of competition. AAA is very different from MLB. There are tons of AAAA players out there, who, just by looking at minor league numbers, you'd think are going to do very well in the bigs. No one said anything about only looking at minor league numbers. He's the one who's ignoring part of it. For every Dubois there's a Bo Hart on the other side of the spectrum. -
He's an awful offensive player. Any defensive edge he has is almost completely erased by his hitting ineptitude. In fact, PMR doesn't rate Wilson as a top flight defensive shortstop either, right below David Eckstein.

If the deal keeps Jack Wilson on their team it will be a bad deal. I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt since Jake started the thread and all, but yeah.

Labrum surgery: prognosis not very good
Transmogrified Tiger replied to kente777's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Because this is the 2nd time I've been jumped on for not meeting the high standards of some of the "better" posters. There's no excuse for treating someone like that. Oh, but I guess since these are only words on a computer screen, that gives people a right to use sarcasm, and yes, belittle others. Where was the belittling? He corrected your error. Go back to his first response. "Good Grief" I don't mind being corrected. If I make a mistake, please correct, and I'm man enough to admit I was wrong. But "rolling" one's eyes by making a statment such as "good grief" is a phrase of belittlement. If you can't see that, then I'm wasting my time. I think you need to step back and look at the situation to see that you're going overboard because of two words that aren't extremely inflammatory. -
This will probably end up being a bad deal.
-
get ready for the biggest mockery of baseball you've ever seen ... and i thought pitch counts were bad How many games out of the 2430 MLB games each year go more than 14 innings? I can't forsee that being a big issue.

First Draft of the Year (comments please)
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Jazz's topic in Fantasy Sports
Randy Winn hitting 20 homers is just a touch optimistic. -

viewtopic.php?t=28740 That link is not working for me for some reason Works for me. The 4-man rotation at this point is an awful awful awful awful idea.
